Breath and Body Balance in Pregnancy with Ashley Herrera
Note sull'episodio
Dr. Lindsay and Ashley Herrera discuss simple, grounded ways to support pregnancy through movement, breath, and body balance. Ashley is a prenatal yoga educator, mom of three, and Calgary’s only Spinning Babies certified parent educator, as well as a Birthing From Within childbirth educator and doula. Ashley shares how daily movement can ease common pregnancy symptoms and how movement focus shifts across trimesters. They discuss diaphragmatic breathing as a key tool during labor, along with simple practices like calf stretching and rolling the foot on a ball to release the back body and pelvic floor fascia. They also talk about the importance of listening to your intuition, and evaluating pregnancy advice based on what resonates - because pregnancy is not black-and-white, and is as unique as all the folks who experience it!
