Berkshire Yoga Fesitval 2025: Full Schedule

10:00am EDT

Yoga for the 4th Trimester

Saturday June 14, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am EDT

In this 60 minute workshop, you'll be guided through breathwork and postnatal sequencing designed to recharge the postpartum body and mind.

The fourth trimester is just as important for a mother’s health as the first three trimesters, yet that is often when mothers have the least interaction with their health care team.

Only 40% of moms attend their postpartum follow-up visit. Why? It’s an overwhelming time and often gets pushed to the back burner.

A traditional checklist for a PP visit includes physical recovery (Have the tears healed? Are the C/S stitches healing? Warning signs for something serious, like an infection, Diastasis recti?), mental recovery, sexual health/family planning and diet/exercise.

The six-week checkup is a green light to slowly get back into fitness, not run a marathon. The abdominal fascia has only regained 51-59% of its original strength by six weeks, and between 75-94% at 6-7 months.

If breastfeeding, the hormone, Relaxin, is still in your body, making you more prone to tissue injury. Combine that with urinary incontinence, exhaustion and care for the baby.

Need to bring your baby to class? No worries! We can work through mom and me sequences as well.
