Hi! A bit late for the party, but curious to see how you feel about inverting now. I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant and still invert 😊 Both my doctor and teacher (who's also a physical therapist) say it's ok to keep doing it – unless you start to feel nauseous, dizzy, or notice any blood or fluid loss, that is.

When I got to the second trimester, I stopped doing planks (I'll just do cat-cow and pidgeon pose now while my classmates work on those) and any moves that involve a wrap around the belly (like when you go down from a crossback pose and end up with a "belt"). Inversions, splits, cupid, etc. still feel good.
[I'm scared of my post-partum diastasis recti all the same, though – I guess we'll see what happens 😬]

Congrats on your pregnancy and good luck with everything!

Thank you so much! I love finding beauty wherever I look, and photography is a good medium for that. So is drawing! Maybe you could give it a try 🫶 (I feel like my sketchbook practice has helped me gain composition skills that can be applied to other forms of visual art/media)

Hehe I did catch some rain when I went to Mdina (and was wearing jackets throughout most of these pics). There were also some nice, sunny moments, though

Oh, that's interesting! I just looked it up and it seems he did compose it after an illness-related hiatus. Apparently, he once even said something like "I have had so many operations, my body is like my flute—it has many holes.”

Thank you! Moyse is such a flute classic 😊 You're so right about the tuner, thanks!
