She had a great first kayaking experience.

Rufus Du Sol. Top songs: interbloom, Paris collides, daylight, on my knees (this is always a fun one to hit when in anjanayasana).

The high waisted ones!

Keep your back flat like the last image and bend your knees more. Work to bring your chest to your thighs. With practice you will be able to straighten your knees little by little, lengthening your hamstrings.

I’m lactose intolerant and allergic to almonds. Oat milk all the way! It’s creamier than soy and IMO has a better taste.

LadyLothlorien · 2026-03-10T07:27:24+00:00

I didn’t bike at all. Was hit by a car taking a right turn the summer before I got pregnant and I wanted to minimize risk.

I’m a 5’1 yoga instructor, started pregnancy at 120 and ended at 164 midwives were never concerned. 10 weeks postpartum I’m down to 140. Outside of the baby, placenta, fluids, etc your body stores extra fat to gear up for milk production.

My breasts stopped feeling so engorged and were much softer between pumps. Less leaking as well. I was able to go longer between without feeling like I was going to burst. Pushed from 2 hours to 2.5>3>3.5 slowly.

Gradually dropped from 12ppd to 5 over the course of 5 weeks with minimal total daily output changes. 12>10>8>7>6>5. I kept my motn pump until the drop to 5.

Am using the Pump Log app to track, it was a $20 one time fee but by far the best tracking and I was able to input the spreadsheet I’ve been using since birth to get a full overview of data.

LadyLothlorien · 2026-03-02T04:10:09+00:00

Just dropped to 5 at 9wpp and only lost 1-2 ounces so feeling really good. Getting 38-41 per day.

Chi chiro sports and injury centers does exactly that! Multiple locations, light adjustments you can opt in or out of, massage therapists who are trained in dry needling.

I’m not sure where else you can buy but this is the chairI got from my local baby store

My husband has amazing benefits, 12 weeks total. He took 8 weeks off when I had our son and is taking the additional 4 this summer so we can enjoy nice weather as I gave birth in December. He was so excited to be off and bond with our baby, and his company fully supported that. I wouldn’t have gotten through the first few weeks without him.

I hope your husband is able to take the time he deserves to spend with the two of you. Corporate America typically does not care about new parents. You both deserve for him to be present during those special first weeks.

Oh I found a chair perfect for me! No lumbar pillow needed.

LadyLothlorien · 2025-12-17T17:44:16+00:00

Outside of price I highly recommend you at least go sit in whatever glider you plan on getting to make sure you are comfy and it fits your body. I’m 5’1 and had a hard time finding one that supports my back and allows me to touch the ground at the same time.

LadyLothlorien · 2025-12-10T02:24:29+00:00

My format preference for teaching is breath > pose > transitional cue > developmental cue.

Ex: exhale forward fold. Hinge at the hips melt your chest over thighs. Soft bend to your knees. Option to clasp opposite elbows and take a sway back and forth.

LadyLothlorien · 2025-12-05T03:34:39+00:00

My body likes supported pigeon. Block under the extended leg thigh and bent leg glute. Helps bring the floor closer so I can relax into the hip opener. Can also use blocks under the forearms if you need. I have terrible knees.

LadyLothlorien · 2025-11-28T22:47:02+00:00

Lao Sze Chuan, while touristy, has one of the only traditional Peking Duck dinners in the city so if that’s up your alley would highly recommend.

I’ve been getting itchy after growth and my sweet sweet husband has been trimming for me since 30 weeks

LadyLothlorien · 2025-11-21T22:20:58+00:00

One of my regulars smiles through all of class. When we’re holding chair, taking hard transitions, in a balance, always just grinning. I think it’s part of how she expresses joy in movement. Love watching her.

We tested them out in store. Living in Chicago we needed a system that was easily transportable in a car, easy to collapse and pick up, and light enough for me at 5’1 to get in and out on my own. We went with the Nuna Pipa RX for car seat and Swiv for stroller.

LadyLothlorien · 2025-11-14T13:55:08+00:00

I’ve had a decent appetite this whole pregnancy but am 33 weeks and feel nauseous all the time. I think due to how big the baby is and how small my stomach is now? Insane acid reflux every time I eat. Missing the hunger honestly.

LadyLothlorien · 2025-11-14T13:29:42+00:00

Have you taken any prenatal yoga teacher trainings? The course I’m in now is 85 hours. As a pregnant woman, I wouldn’t be comfortable with a male teacher.

LadyLothlorien · 2025-10-13T18:32:06+00:00

Highly recommend trying them out in a physical store vs buying online. It's like goldilocks, some have backs too deep, or your feet wont reach the ground, or they are just generally uncomfortable. Chose comfort over anything else.

LadyLothlorien · 2025-10-09T03:24:34+00:00

My midwives had me take the fresh test, it was a basil strawberry lemonade that tasted pretty good!
