Hot Mama Yoga~more than a sexy bump

Hot Mama Yoga is about empowering woman, their changing bodies, and through them, their partners and children.

By empowering woman in their bodies during the most important time of their life, I feel that I can bring the consciousness back to the support of the sisterhood.

Hot Mama Yoga is about bringing women back to the source of spiritual experiences through pregnancy and birth. A time in life that has been forgotten where women support women, where women sit in circles of women and remind each other of themselves when they forget.

First Trimester

The first trimester is a beautiful time to connect with your already changing body. A moment in time to sit back and take in the powerful shift from maiden to mother. A time to honor your changing body from within, before any visual changes happen. The first trimester is a time to embody the willingness to care for yourself first so that you may better show up for your child in the future. You deserve to receive! A beautiful changing body deserves to be treated like a goddess.

Second Trimester

The second trimester is all about your changing body and the growing baby. A time to honor every single cell that is created by all that you do in your body and your life for the highest good of your baby growing in your womb. This time is a time for aligning your values as a mother and how you wish to bring this beautiful soul into the world. Manifesting the type of difference you wish your child to be a part of without expectations. A time when you start to feel the baby, to connect with this soul being on a physical level . This is the time to call in your sisters to support your vision of a healthy happy birth and begin to manifest birthday with intention.

Third Trimester

Your growing body is now in full realm of goddess awaiting! This is the time to move inward to a place of deep connection with your child that is now almost fully grown. Beginning to connect with your child’s rhythms and patterns. This is a beautiful time to have “conversations” with your baby and share your inner most desires and wishes for their well being. This is the beginning stages of integrating this amazing soul into your family and be present for its responses to your connections. A deep meditative time in your life and the closest connection to mother earth ever to be felt.

Post Partum

After your baby is born, becomes a time that you can just “be”with your baby. No expectations, no place to be other than fully connected to your new child. This is the time to be one with your baby. As you nourish your child with the nectar of your breasts, you nourish yourself with love and stillness. A time to release ideas and control and surrender into “what is” with your new baby. Allowing yourself to naturally find your way and do as nature and your baby guides you to do.

Buddha Baby

Buddha baby is about connecting to your baby as you connect back to your body. Reminding yourself that it took you 9 months to make this beautiful baby and that sacred non-judgmental time will bring you to a place of understanding with your new rhythms and motherly figure. A special moment in time that you have just for you and your baby to share in a stillness that can guide your life as mother and child. A place where you can teach your child by example what it is to be centered, loving and understanding with yourself. A time to connect movement, breath and stillness to bring about harmony to an ever changing life.

My mission is to hold the space and facilitate the opening of the body, heart

and mind so as one, we may move forward in life without obstruction

and become a filter for others to see the light of spirituality. ~Jolie Cash
