Mamaste!
I recently started having some mild back pain, and while it’s pretty normal to have some posterior discomfort after having a baby (laboring positions,breast weight, carrying a child around, bad posture for breastfeeding etc.), I really think mine is in part due to the fact that I haven’t been keeping up with all the Yoga I was doing while pregnant… I definitely feel a difference in my flexibility and my core strength, and it’s resulting in a pain in the back! (I must get back onto the Tracy Anderson train!!!)
Anyways, while I scrounge around for my post-pregnancy DVD (Freida seems to have her hand in all the multi-media in this house!), I thought I’d let you all in on an interesting city-find – Yoga studios that cater directly to mothers! I wish I would have heard about MaYoga while I was carrying Hudi! With studios in Beverly Hills, Costa Mesa, Hancock Park, and Sherman Oaks, it’s pretty much a hop, skip, and a sun-salutation away from just about anyone in this city. They offer a free trial class, and I’m definitely looking forward to heading down there to give their post-natal Yoga a go. You can check out the assortment of classes and other information about them here.
menucha pilates is the best way to build core strength which includes lower back strength which will help ease any back pain you have !! its the best !!
