Hi, I'm Nagisa. I'm a yoga instructor and Program Director at ONE OM ONE. Three months postpartum, I was sitting on my yoga mat and my son was lying next to me. He started a little Baby Cobra, lifting his head, pushing up. He was working so hard and it was so cute. And I thought, I want to be there too.
But when I tried to come back to my own practice, things weren't where I left them. My core, legs, pelvic floor, they were so weak. Even my breath ran faster than before. Some days I could practice one hour. Other days I couldn't step on the mat at all.
I had been cleared to exercise, but cleared and ready, those are not the same meaning from my experience. My body was still in the healing process. What I needed to my practice: listening to my body, modifying, connecting with my breath and bringing extra awareness to my body.
That's why I do what I do at ONE OM ONE. If you are in the first part of the journey and watching this, take 45 minutes with us for your first yoga session. It's free. Link is just below. Namaste.
