My Yoga Works

I haven't had much to say about yoga lately and that's because since becoming pregnant I haven't really been doing any. After the first month, yoga just made me feel sick. To clarify, any position where my head was under my heart made me feel faint and weak. My doctor told me to just skip it and stick with walking and other mild cardio. I didn't argue.


Skip six months down the road (Six months! How? What is this warp speed?) and I find myself in the third trimester of this journey. I feel good, I feel healthy, but I definitely don't feel in shape. With labor and delivery sooner than later, I am feeling a need to up my game and get some strength back.

As luck would have it, I received a free three month subscription promo to an online yoga class site called MyYogaWorks.com. A $45.00 value and they didn't require a credit card number, so no need to worry about canceling after the three months is up. Why not? Surely I could do the most basic class they offered. I signed up, and went searching for prenatal classes.


Not only does MyYogaWorks.com offer prenatal and postnatal classes, but an entire library of Journey Series. This is my favorite aspect of the site. The Journey Series I selected is called Journey To Birth. It is a set of seven classes and you can customize them for beginner, intermediate, or advanced. Other examples in the Journey Series are Partner Yoga, Nap Time Yoga For Moms, Office Yoga and many more.

I'm not gonna lie. Even the beginner sessions have been challenging for me and I have to modify. I've got pregnancy carpal tunnel, so my downward dog is on my forearms, and I double up the blankets under my knees just to do cat-cow. But it is something and for now that is enough. Would I pay to subscribe to the site? I'm not sure yet. I'm a fan of the free site DoYogaWithMe.com and although they don't offer the cool Journey Series, they have a lot to choose from. For now, I am enjoying using a different site and new instructors. If you prefer to do a home practice instead of going to the studio, MyYogaWorks.com might be perfect for you or make a great gift for someone new to yoga. If you check out a class, let me know what you think!
