Today, we have a community birth story. I look at these stories as a wonderful chance to hear firsthand about the incredible experience of birth from someone in our very own community—an experience that deeply influences so much of what we do here at PYC!
Today on Yoga | Birth | Babies, I have Fiamma. Fiamma was born in NYC grew up as a competitive equestrian show jumper where she would travel between Europe, the US and South America. She was also a competitive downhill skier. She took a break from competing and and teaching and spent time in Brazil all of 2023, right before getting pregnant. She currently lives on 180 acres in a 350 year old farmhouse in Virginia, and has been there for almost a year now with her 2 dogs and now perfect baby!
In this episode, Fiamma shares about her health challenges pre-pregnancy, her birth story, the obstacles she faced during both her birth and postpartum journey, and how her yoga practice carried her through it all. Fiamma recalls her story with such wisdom, grace, and vulnerability, and I am so grateful she came on the podcast to share with all of you! I hope you enjoy hearing her story as much as I did.
In this episode, you will learn:
- About Fiamma
- The health issues she faced prior to getting pregnant
- Ways she stayed healthy during pregnancy and prepared for her birth
- Her birth story, including the challenges she faced in the pushing stage
- The challenges Fiamma has experienced during postpartum
- How her yoga practice helped her during labor and postpartum
- One final tip or piece of advice she would like to offer new and expectant parents
