When did you start taking classes with PYLV?
I started taking classes in February of 2023 when I was about 2 months pregnant. Angela made it so easy to get started and I loved that I could start with zoom classes, especially as I was battling severe morning sickness during my first trimester. I was then able to attend classes in person after the morning sickness subsided, and thanks to Angela it was easy to shift from zoom to in person classes. I always felt very welcomed.

My Top 3 Postnatal Yoga Poses

Balancing Table Pose
Balancing table pose has a few different names, depending on who you have taken the class with and their trainings. Also known as Sunbird pose, Bird Dog pose or Sanskrit name, Dandayamana Bharmanasana. This is one of my must practice poses for both my prenatal and postnatal students.
