87: The Science & Spirit of Yoga for Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond - with Lara Heimann
What if yoga could do more than improve flexibility? What if it could transform the way you move, breathe, and experience birth?
In this episode of The Mindful Womb Podcast, I’m joined by Lara Heimann, a renowned leader in yoga and the creator of LYT (Lara’s Yoga Technique). We explore the deep connection between movement, breathwork, and body awareness—especially in the context of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery.
Tune in to hear:
✔️ How yoga bridges the gap between science and spirit in pregnancy
✔️ The key movement patterns that prepare your body for labor
✔️ Why breathwork is one of the most powerful tools for managing contractions
✔️ The biggest postpartum recovery mistakes (and how to avoid them!)
✔️ A holistic approach to wellness that honors your body at every stage
