Preggo? Zap Your Back Pain in 3 Minutes ~ Prenatal Yoga Sequence
Apr 12, 2012
Mamas to be, I must tell you an ugly truth. Some gals love to gestate, all rosy and happy and skipping, and others limp through those 10 (9 months is a lie!) months with gritting teeth, eyes on the prize, all wanna-be-a-mama resolve. But whatever your demeanor, for most of us, there are some…adjustments…to be made as a tiny human reorganizes our internal organs. Even though my baby makin’ days are over (by choice – 3′s a plenty!), I recall the aches and discomfort that accompanied the joyous journey of motherhood.
What helped? Yoga. And chocolate. And cupcakes. But I can’t give you chocolate and cupcakes, so here’s some great yoga for the back pain so often associated with incubating your fetal wonder.
In three minutes, Jenny Neuville’s free yoga sequence will have you sighing with joy, as the kinks of fecundity dissolve. Tuck this sequence into your free time (if this is your first, relish it!) for an immediate boost. Want more? Try Jenny’s full-length online yoga classes! And take heart. If you’re not glowing and bopping and dancing along, it’s worth it. Back ache and all.

New Free Yoga Videos: What is Yoga? + Why Practice Yoga?
Dec 14, 2011
Over the last few months we’ve been collecting videos from YogaVibes partnering instructors around the world and asking them to tell us “why yoga”?
We’ll be posting these online yoga videos on YouTube in the coming weeks. The heart-felt, passionate answers we received are really amazing! Some of the questions we asked were:
- What is Yoga?
- What does Yoga mean to you?
- Why did you start practicing Yoga?
- What is Anusara Yoga?
- Why practice Yoga?
- Why practice Prenatal Yoga?
We look forward to sharing these videos with you and hearing what yoga means to you and why you started practicing yoga.
Here’s the first video from Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga founder, and YogaVibes teacher, Sadie Nardini, on why she started practicing yoga.

Prenatal Online Yoga Classes on YogaVibes
Nov 21, 2011
Pregnancy can be an amazing, beautiful time as your body changes to meet the demands of nourishing and nurturing the life growing inside you. Along the way, you may discover a need to allow your yoga practice to change to accommodate your current energy level and expanding belly.
You may find that the hard-core Vinyasa class that you have been taking is no longer appropriate for how you are feeling, or that your home studio does not offer prenatal yoga classes. And some days, venturing out to your regular class may simply seem unappealing.
YogaVibes’ commitment to providing you with the yoga you need continues with our growing prenatal selection, designed to help you maintain your yoga practice in the comfort of your own home.
Currently, you can choose from one of Washington, D.C.-based Jenny Neuville’s prenatal online yoga classes, both focusing on relieving tension in the hips and lower back. Jenny’s classes are perfect for a day when you are feeling energetic and want to experience classic Vinyasa poses and sequences with a prenatal focus on relieving the everyday aches and pains of pregnancy. Check out Jenny Neuville’s Prenatal Yoga Videos.
Or, if your body is asking for a more restorative practice, try one of Los Angeles-based Ashley Albrand’s prenatal classes. Ashley’s classes combine all seated postures with a little bit of kriya and pranayama, focusing on fostering a deep connection between you and your baby. Grab a towel, blocks, bolsters (or rolled up towels) and enjoy these deliciously restorative Prenatal Yoga Videos with Ashley Albrand.
We wish you a healthy, happy pregnancy and hope that these online yoga practices will motivate and inspire you to explore this exciting new facet of your yoga practice. Enjoy!
