What an incredible weekend celebrating my girl @me

What an incredible weekend celebrating my girl @megglesb 🍓

I tried really hard not to talk about pelvic floors, yoga, plant based food, holistic health, breastfeeding, childbirth and women’s empowerment… But that’s all I talked about. 😂

Bachelorette party in your 30s I guess. 💁🏻‍♀️

✨ Virtual Workshop Alert! ✨ Are you pregnant

✨ Virtual Workshop Alert! ✨

Are you pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant? Or just want to learn more about your pelvic floor prior to pregnancy? Are you ready to learn all the things I wish I knew about prior to giving birth to my first son?

Join myself and Dr. Hannah Strom, DPT (@awake.pelvichealth x @ellafran ) Wednesday, July 21st, 4:30-6pm CST for our “Prenatal Pelvic Floor Basics” workshop. Led by a licensed physical therapist and registered prenatal yoga instructor, we discuss all things pelvic floor, changes that occur with pregnancy and birth, and movement practices inspired by yoga and Physical therapy.

You will walk away with a greater understanding of:
✨Your pelvic floor anatomy and function
✨Why kegels don’t actually help you birth a baby!
✨How to relax and release your pelvic floor to prep for birth
✨Easily applicable tools and strategies to incorporate into your life
✨Mini yoga sequence to open your pelvic floor

We hope you will join us for 90 minutes of education and empowerment. Live option is next week but if you can’t make it you will get access to the on demand recording the replay as much as you like!

Noah started preschool a couple weeks ago and our mornings have been a little bit busier having to get these two wild ones out the door in the morning. 🌻

It’s a big task getting everyone fed, pack a lunch, morning routines and clean up. I’ve leaned on quick, easy and healthy options that are delicious like our new favorite cereal @sevensundaysmn Sunflower Cereal. 🌻

Seven Sundays is a local Minneapolis family run business that makes incredible breakfast products with families in mind. They support local farmers that use regenerative farming practices. Each piece of cereal is packed with sunflower protein. A cereal that is not too sweet and nourishes your kids before a busy day! Plus, I love it too! 🌻

Happy International Yoga Day today! I am gratefu

Happy International Yoga Day today!

I am grateful I got to teach a wonderful private yoga class, practice yoga asana and live out my lifestyle inspired by yoga today. What a blessing.

Today was a huge day for our family along with all the yoga. Noah started preschool today and had a blast! Walked away from his crying mama with his head held high and never looked back. I’m so proud. He also started soccer today and scored some goals and made lots of new friends. Juni had her first day solo at the house with all the toys to herself.

It was a wonderful and busy day and now I’m ready fo teleport my kids into their pajamas and asleep in their beds. 💤

We were side by side in a yoga class. After we shared our babies birthdays, I looked at both of them and said, “We have boys the same age.. Want to be friends?”

I was a little nervous, it’s hard to make new friends as an adult! Especially as a new mama when you are sleep deprived, overwhelmed and not ready to take on more. These two women nodded and said yes and after yoga class we went for a walk! Before we knew it we had weekly and monthly hang outs planned. We took the kids everywhere! Breweries, restaurants, parks, pools and playgrounds! We helped each other change diapers in the grass and kept each other company when one of us had to stop on a park bench to feed our babies.

Now we have six kids collectively. It’s a total mess being together, it’s loud, someone usually gets hurt or cries, there are a lot of laughs and it is always fun! Always good food and empathy, lots of empathy, love and respect. We get it. We are all in the same place and are there for each other through all of the joys and challenges.

All I have to say is that next time you are at the store, park or walking in your neighborhood and you see another parent with a kiddo the same age as yours.. say Hi! Say Hi!!! Introduce yourself, not just your kids and get to know each other. Ask them if they want to go on a walk sometime together or meet at the park. Chances are they want to hang out too. ❤️

“Mama, Are we going to do yoga now or what?”

“Mama, Are we going to do yoga now or what?”

Don’t get me wrong, doing yoga with your kids can be challenging. Well, some days it is super fun and easy and others we hardly make it on the mat. Consistency helps and focusing on some is better than none. We make it a game, pretend to be animals and play fun music! Sometimes I get my solo home practice and other times we just pretend to be frogs or ballerinas and do yogi squat and dancer’s pose. 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you haven’t made it to your mat today, roll it out and just do a couple poses! You got this! 💪🏻
