My name is Giff. I have a daughter named Jasmine and she’s 13 months old. I’m from Thailand and have been living in USA for about 8 years. I’m full time mom and help take care of our family restaurant.

When did you start taking classes with PYLV?

I started taking classes with PYLY around September 2023 when I was 4 months pregnant

What have you learned since taking classes with PYLV?

I usually practice yoga at home, but I feel I need friends. It helps to talk about being a first-time mommy, and PYLV has helped me a lot. It isn’t just the yoga; you also make friends and feel warm as a first-time mother. Angela is always nice and takes care of you.

What is your favorite yoga pose?

My favorite pose is triangle pose. This pose gives me a burst of energy while relieving neck and back tension.

How has your practice impact your parenting?

It helped with lowering my stress and gave me something fun to do with others. It helped with my hormones, mood, and feeling of support so I could be a better mommy.

What would you tell a new parent considering taking prenatal or baby & me yoga classes?

Do it! It will help you not feel alone, and you’ll see how it brings you closer to your baby before or after. PYLV will make your pregnancy easier and smoother.
