Belly bands. SI belts. Postpartum binders. Waist trainers. They’re everywhere. And if you’re looking them up, it’s probably not because you want to “shrink.” It’s because something doesn’t feel right. Maybe your pelvis aches when you walk. Maybe your pubic bone feels unstable. Maybe your low back is exhausted. Maybe postpartum you feel empty, unsupported, unsure how to move again. Here’s the truth: These devices are tools — not fixes. ✔️ A belly band can lift and redistribute uterine weight. ✔️ An SI belt can stabilize pelvic mechanics and reduce strain. ✔️ A postpartum binder can offer temporary support during early recovery. But none of them rebuild your core. None of them retrain breath coordination. None of them restore pelvic floor timing. And waist trainers? Those belong in the trash. Pregnancy and postpartum are not cosmetic events. They are physiological transformations. I wrote a full guide breaking down: • What each support device actually does • When to wear them • When not to • How pelvic mechanics influence comfort and labor • Why real recovery requires integration — not compression If you’ve been wondering what your body actually needs right now, this article is for you. You are not broken. You are adapting. And you deserve intelligent support. 🔗 Read it LINK IN BIO to the Learning Library

Prepare for Birth. Plan for Postpartum. Feel Supported. Pregnancy moves quickly. One moment you’re counting weeks… the next you’re holding a newborn. This circle is where we slow down and prepare intentionally. Inside our six-week closed group, we explore: • Practical comfort measures for labor • Pelvic floor + core education that makes sense • Postpartum planning before you’re exhausted • Gentle movement to ease pregnancy discomfort • Honest conversation in a trusted community This isn’t about doing more. It’s about feeling steadier, clearer, and supported. If you’re pregnant and wanting something deeper than a checklist — we would love to welcome you. 💛 https://www.annecatherineyoga.com/sacred-prenatal-yoga-boulder

Move Gently. Learn Deeply. Prepare Intentionally. Pregnancy doesn’t need more pressure. It needs thoughtful preparation. In this circle, movement supports learning — not the other way around. We explore functional, supportive movement alongside practical birth prep and postpartum education so you feel informed and steady heading into motherhood. This is a closed six-week group designed to feel safe, personal, and deeply supportive. For first-time moms. For seasoned moms. For anyone wanting to feel grounded instead of overwhelmed. Enrollment is open. Message me for details or follow the Link in Bio. 💛

One of the most common things I hear: “My hamstrings are so tight — I just need to stretch more.” Sometimes… yes. But often in pregnancy and postpartum? “Tight” is protective. Your body is working overtime to stabilize a pelvis that is changing rapidly. Aggressively stretching without restoring stability can feel good in the moment — while quietly prolonging the root issue. In my newest article, we talk about: ✨ why tight ≠ short ✨ why the psoas conversation is often misunderstood ✨ how functional movement supports real relief ✨ when SI belts and belly bands actually help Because relief should be rooted in understanding. 🔗 Read now — LINK IN BIO to the Learning Library https://www.annecatherineyoga.com/blog/low-back-pain-pregnancy-pelvic-girdle-support #pelvichealth #prenatalmovement #postpartumfitness #coreandpelvicfloor #pregnancybackpain #traumainformedyoga #matrescence

Hey mamas 🤍 I’m so excited to share that Crista and I have our next Sacred Prenatal Women’s Circle scheduled, and enrollment is open. ✨ This is a small, six-week gathering for pregnant women to come together consistently with the same group. It’s pregnancy, birth, and postpartum education wrapped up in a closed community of sacred support. We move in ways that truly support your changing body. We explore breath and nervous system regulation. We learn practical comfort measures for labor. We talk honestly about postpartum — not just the baby, but you. There’s warm tea. There’s thoughtful pelvic floor and core guidance. There’s space for real questions. There’s laughter. Sometimes tears. And that beautiful moment of realizing you’re not alone in this season. We keep it closed so the group can bond and feel safe over the six weeks. It becomes something really special. If you’re pregnant — or have a friend who is — we would truly love to welcome you into the circle. Message me for details or I’ll share the link below 💛 So grateful to hold this space alongside Crista again. Comment CIRCLE or check the Link in Bio

If your back has been aching during pregnancy or postpartum, you are not broken — and you are not imagining it. What many people are told is: 👉 stretch more 👉 rest more 👉 just wait until baby comes But most pregnancy-related low back pain is actually connected to: • pelvic load changes • ligament laxity • muscular compensation • and movement habits that no longer serve your changing body In my newest Learning Library article, I break down what is really happening — and what actually helps.

It is a rite of passage. And you deserve to be held through it. As a mother of two and a perinatal yoga teacher of over 10 years (with 25+ years of yoga practice behind me), I guide this space as a guardian of your safety and a witness to your becoming. This circle is intimate, intentional, and deeply nurturing. 🌙 Limited spots 🌙 First come, first serve 🌙 Closed group — no drop-ins If you are pregnant and longing for community, grounded education, and embodied preparation for birth and postpartum… step into the circle. 🔗 Learn more + reserve your space: https://www.annecatherineyoga.com/sacred-prenatal-yoga-boulder Tag a mama who needs this. 🤍 #SacredPrenatalCircle #BoulderMamas #PrenatalYogaBoulder #BirthingPeople #PregnancySupport #PostpartumPreparation #PelvicFloorHealth #ConsciousMotherhood

As a mother of 20 years, a yoga teacher of 25+ years, and someone who has worked with hundreds of birthing people, I know how vulnerable—and powerful—this window is.

Postpartum doula care begins before the baby arrives. Just like birth planning, postpartum planning helps you prepare for: • recovery • rest • nourishment • support roles • realistic expectations This is one of the most overlooked pieces of the perinatal journey—and one of the most impactful. I offer postpartum planning as a 1:1 session and as part of my doula packages, and I wrote about why this matters in my latest article. 👉 Read more in the Learning Library 🔗 https://www.annecatherineyoga.com/blog/planforpostpartum

Very few people talk about what happens after you come home.

We talk endlessly about birth plans. Very few people talk about what happens after you come home. Who feeds you? Who sets up your space? Who buffers well-meaning but overwhelming help? Who helps you rest when everything in you wants to push through? Postpartum doula care is about planning for real life after birth—not perfection, not control, but support.
