Hello all! Today's podcast is a fabulous interview with Caprice Abowitt. Caprice Abowitt is a certified yoga instructor, birth doula, childbirth educator and certified breastfeeding counselor. A classically trained dancer, Caprice fell in love with yoga after sustaining a back injury and now specializes in kids yoga, pre- and postnatal, and yoga for the pelvic floor. She is a senior teacher at the Prenatal Yoga Center, where she co-leads teacher training in New York City and along the East Coast in addition to directing Continuing Education Programs. Additionally, Caprice leads Childbirth Education for expecting parents as a founding instructor with Birth Smarter. She is based in Brooklyn, where she lives with her husband and son.

I met Caprice when she co-led my prenatal yoga teacher training that I participated in. She was so knowledgable and kind, and had a fascinating background - I knew I wanted to have her on the podcast. The content of this interview was different than expected - as we are in the middle of COVID-19, there have been a lot of things that have changed, from our personal schedules to the policies for pregnant and birthing folks around the country. We talk about what drew Caprice to prenatal yoga, how being a doula informed her own birth experience, and why doulas - both in person and virtual - are incredibly important.

We are in our second week of social distancing in DC, and you might be feeling a little cabin fever. But even when our bodies are not in motion, our inner world is. We still have thoughts, feelings, and emotions bubbling up. In today's meditation, we'll be directing our breath, energy, and attention to make sure that emotions keep moving through the body, instead of getting stuck and causing distress. 

Hello! I hope you and your family are well during these crazy times.

It's kapha season, which means that our lungs can easily get congested and sticky. Use this gentle, simple, yin yoga practice to expand the rib cage, stretch the upper spine, and relieve congestion in the lungs and heart. This yin yoga practice is beginner friendly and the perfect introduction to yin yoga. 

Hi all - I am so excited for today's podcast with Dr. Rachel Aronson, DPT, PT and owner of Core Elements Physical Therapy. Rachel is a pelvic floor physical therapist and works with people at all stages of life. I went to see her after having my baby to help with postpartum support and recovery, and I was so impressed by her deep knowledge and care about the subject.

I had so many questions, I needed to get her on the podcast!! I believe that pelvic floor physical therapy is a must for all women postpartum, and I wanted to spread the word on how beneficial it is.

In this episode, Rachel shares about her postpartum journey, how she healed her body, and what she now provides for women (and men!) to help them reconnect to their pelvic floors. She also shares how to know if you need to see a pelvic floor physical therapist, and how to find one.

This is an incredibly informative conversation, and I recommend it for anyone that has experienced issues with incontinence, low back pain, tailbone pain, has had a baby, or just wants to know their bodies better.

Rachel Aronson, DPT, PT, is the owner of Core Elements Physical Therapy, a clinic that specializes in Women's Health located in Arlington, VA.  She is a resident of Arlington, a Mom of 2, and a fitness enthusiast. Rachel has a Doctorate in Physical Therapy received from Duke University in 2005.  Since then, she has worked in the orthopedic environment, and during that period shifted her focus towards Women's Health Physical Therapy. After her own experiences with pregnancy and birth left her feeling depleted, her curiosity led Rachel towards this amazing sub specialty.  Inspired by her desire to deliver focused, holistic, validating, and expert care, Rachel opened her own clinic in 2015. Rachel has a compassionate, kind, and passionate personality and is committed to helping women restore themselves, whether it’s during the child bearing years, or at another time in their lives.
