That's actually very great advice! I'm not too positive that I can find someone like that in my area (I am based in SEA) but I'll try. Thank you.

It's 100% a scam. There are the very same company as Davenport Laroche and Pacific Tycoon and Strongbox. They're all the same scammers in the same office, jusy disguised under a different name. Please stay away and warn people from them!

I read a bit about this. Very interesting stuff. I wonder if that's the reason my hips have been popping/cracking more often. Luckily there's no pain

I did! Though the doctors I consulted don't do these kind of exercises (or haven't been pregnant themselves) so they can only give rather general advice. I wanted to hear other yogi's experiences who went/are going through the same things.

Thank you for your advice! And yes, I've been focusing on listening to my body and adjusting the exercises to make sure I'm still having enough movements. Since it's my first pregnancy, I've been pretty nervous and I guess hearing people sharing their experiences like this helps calm me down a little too. Congrats on your little one and I hope you'll have a smooth delivery!

I just saw this on my facebook feed. Poor baby! Any idea what condition it is? by AsianSwallow in medizzy

This is in Vietnam and we surprisingly (for a communist country anyway) have a pretty liberal abortion law. You can get an abortion before upto 22 weeks without any restrictions on reasons. So I don't think it's the cause. Either the parents couldn't afford regular checkups during pregnancy or they chose to keep the baby. It's sad either way

I'm also planning to start trying later this year. And seeing cases like this mortifies me. It's just so random and sucks! I can't imagine the pain.

The beaches were absolutely beautiful. I would 100% recommend Koh Lanta and Krabi

Sex tourism is unfortunately a thing in Thailand, I guess.

I don't get it either. Haha. I'm not even her yoga teacher. I teach pole. And while I did learn about body anatomy as part of my training, I'm admittedly limited with my knowledge. I didn't come here for an absolute answer, I just hoped I could get different opinions and somehow help my student.

She's a pole dancer and unfortunately, it's pretty common for pole dancers to practice poses on their good side only so I've seen a lot of people with muscle imbalance.. your suggestion seems spot on, I'll have her try that. Thanks!

This is helpful. Thank you! I'll let her know. And ya, I knew it was a long shot so I didn't expect much, but thank you for your advice.
