Hey Earth mamas (and everyone!)
Ivette Navarro here, to remind you that powerful tools can come in simple packages.
Breathework, anyone?
This isn’t about mastering fancy yoga poses (although those are great too!).
It’s about harnessing the magic of your breath to support your well-being, no matter where you are on your fertility, pregnancy, or postpartum journey.
Why Breathe Deeply?
Think of your breath as a superpower!
Deep, mindful breathing activates your nervous system’s relaxation response, calming your mind and body [1].
This is especially helpful during these life stages when stress can feel like a constant companion.
Easy as 1, 2, Breathe:
Ready to give it a try?
Here’s a simple breathwork exercise to start your day:
- Find a comfy spot, seated or lying down. Close your eyes if you like.
- Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose, filling your belly with air.
- Hold for a count of 3 (don’t strain!).
- Exhale slowly and completely through your mouth.
- Repeat steps 1-4 for 5-10 minutes.
Consistency is Key:
Remember, small steps lead to big changes! Make this simple breathwork practice a part of your morning routine.
Over time, you’ll notice a difference in your stress levels and overall well-being.
Bonus: Breathe, Mama, Breathe!
This practice isn’t just about you; it positively impacts your little one too!
Deep breathing during pregnancy can help regulate your baby’s heart rate and oxygen levels [2].
So take a deep breath, Earth mama, and embrace the power of mindful breathing!
