Ballet for All & The Busy Bunhead Season 1 Episode 67

In this special episode, we welcome back our co-host Yelena from maternity leave as she opens up about her experience with pregnancy and postpartum recovery as an adult ballet dancer & teacher. From the unique challenges of dancing while expecting to how ballet impacted her strength and body awareness for childbirth, Yelena shares an honest look at navigating this major life transition through the lens of a dancer. Whether you're a mom, planning to be one, or just curious, this candid conversation is a powerful reminder of just how incredible ballet can be —not just as an art form, but as a lifelong support system.
