If you’ve been listening to the podcast for a while you know I love the community birth stories, so that’s what we have today. We have one of our community members sharing her birth story.

In this episode of Yoga| Birth| Babies I am delighted to chat with Anna Greenberg. Not only is she a member of our community having gone through her pregnancy with us but she also did our teacher training back in 2020. 

Anna has been teaching yoga and meditation in New York City for the past twelve years (including pre and postnatal for the past few), she’s been a staple in the Peloton teaching team for the past four years.

I’m very picky about whose classes I take and she absolutely is up there! She offers wonderful information and I just love taking her class.

Now before she had her baby, while she was pregnant, I asked if she would she come on the podcast and share her birth story, she said absolutely. Then as she was getting closer to her birth there was some turbulence.

Please note there is mention of stillbirth in this story. . 

Anna shares a lot about the struggles she had at the end of her pregnancy, the struggles she had during her birth, and her postpartum. She so bravely shares her experience and  what’s really beautiful and the reason that she wanted to share this and I totally agree is that you can see the support she had, how she processed the experience, and how she is really doing well now. Every time I connect with her there’s just joy in her voice and it’s really exciting to see how someone can come out on the other side. She really has a lot to share about things she learned from her own struggles. I hope you can take away from this episode some of the strength that Anna displays in her powerful story.
