Is it Safe to Exercise on my Back during Pregnancy?

The controversy about supine exercise lies in a condition called Supine Hypotensive Syndrome during which the pregnant uterus compresses the inferior vena cava and restricts blood flow returning to the heart of the mother.

Abdominal Doming or Coning

Poorly managed pressure during an exercise can push out against that vulnerable linea alba creating a dome shape that appears as a ridge down the center of the belly. That is what we are watching out for.

Why did you become a pre/ postnatal exercise specialist?

After working in a physical therapy clinic I very quickly became aware of how underserved the pre/
postnatal community was. Women who were trying to conceive, pregnant, and postpartum were
seeking out help and guidance in navigating their motherhood journey. The healthcare professionals
did not have the time or resources to be able to provide them the one-on-one attention they needed.
Being able to empower women and help support them through their journey is something that I could
only have dreamed of. The Lotus Method has allowed me to help women not feel alone through this
challenging time in their lives, and I love being able to continue supporting them!

What inspires you the most about our clientele of
badass women?

Their priority to take care of themselves! Our clients run the world, from stay at home moms to CEO’s
these women’s schedules are packed! Yet they still prioritize taking the time to invest in themselves.
Literally running from a meeting straight into an exercise circuit is not uncommon for our mom’s. They
carve out an hour to focus on their strength, their mental health, and their happiness!
