September 2024 Student of the Month: Sabrina

Sabrina

Tell us about yourself?

My name is Sabrina, I am a first time mom of an almost one year old! I am an X-ray tech at UMC hospital. I’m also currently working on starting up an event planning business with my sister, called STRS Events! 

When did you start taking classes with PYLV?

I started taking classes when my daughter was 6 months and I do my best to not miss a class! 

What have you learned since taking classes with PYLV?

Yoga has helped me be a better parent. I have been able to practice maintaining calm along with breathing techniques that help distress and wind down from a long day. I have also learned different poses to help my body heal and recover from giving birth. 

What is your favorite yoga pose?

My favorite yoga pose is pigeon pose because it helps me stretch my hips. And after having my first baby, my hips need all the help they can get!

How has your practice impact your parenting?

I’ve noticed since going to baby yoga, I have been able to improve my parenting skills. I am able to maintain calm in situations that normally would give me anxiety. I’m able to connect with my daughter and give her the attention she needs while still taking care of my body and health.

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

I have had the best experience taking baby yoga. I recommended it to every new mom I have met! There is so much to this class! When I go to baby yoga I know my daughter will have so much fun with the other babies in class. I too get to socialize and get advice from other moms going through the same things as me. The bond and understanding that is felt when you walk into class is indescribable. I am thankful to be part of this community and to have met all the amazing moms and babies!
