Quick lil morning teaching vlog 🤎

I was 7 months pregnant when I became fully certified, and I had been teaching a little before that. But around 9 months pregnant, I decided to take the jump and start teaching at a studio… on top of my full-time job. 😅

I know it probably sounds a little wild buyout tbh I knew I would lose the momentum I had worked so hard to build.

I also knew that if I waited until after having a baby to start teaching, getting back into it postpartum might feel even more daunting. So now I’m learning how to step into this new chapter while still making space for the things that make me feel like me at a time when everything is changing.

And teaching while pregnant has taught me A LOT about movement, my body, patience, confidence, and what it really means to meet people where they are

Ima share more about that in my next post what teaching while pregnant has taught me, both as an instructor and as a soon-to-be mom 🥹🥹

If you’re here for Pilates, pregnancy, motherhood, movement, or just watching me figure it all out… welcome ❣️❣️❣️ #pilates #doittired #ftm doingitpregnant by @heldinmovement

I thought finding out I was pregnant might mean pressing pause on my Pilates program and certification.

Instead, it’s teaching me to move differently and not with fear, but with more awareness and patience💕

So far, pregnancy + Pilates has taught me:

• Modification is not weakness: it’s intelligence and learning that early as an teacher and practitioner is top tier
• My body isn’t failing me… it’s communicating with me. & it's OKAY to listen

• Progress doesn’t always look like pushing harder. Sometimes it looks like slowing down.

• Breath matters more than I ever realized.

• Letting go of perfection has been its own ongoing practice. Both personally and physically 🙈

• Movement can be a form of trust, not just discipline

• I can honor who I was while making space for who I’m becoming... which is so exciting and doesn't have to be feared!!!

Pilates was never about perfection. It was always about learning to listen. And right now, that lesson means everything. 🤍

I have so much to say about this women's healing retreat, but even after a few months I still feel like words can't even do it justice.

I can say however that being in a healing space for seven days with no judgement, the freedom to look inward, creatively express yourself, and walk into rooms full of love and support and intention have truly made the biggest impact on me.

There's so much more to share but this is where I'll begin.
