Lara Heimann is a yoga instructor, physical therapist, and creator of the LYT Yoga Method. She is a mother of two and has created a special pre/post natal series on her platform to help expecting and new parents build and hold onto energy.

You know how I feel about \\u201cthe snapback.\\u201d That\\u2019s not what this is about. Lara\\u2019s and my discussion focuses instead on how movement and strength building can help you to have a healthier and happier pregnancy.

Connect with your body, learn to listen to it, and give it what it needs. You\\u2019re going to learn all kinds of helpful skills for wellness in this episode!
