Imbolc reminds us that not all beginnings are loud. This ancient Celtic observance marks a quiet turning of the year—when milk returns, the land stirs beneath the frost, and light begins its slow return. Imbolc is traditionally observed around February 1, with many folk traditions beginning at sunset on January 31. In older Celtic timekeeping, the day began at dusk, which is why the evening before holds meaning too. Long before Imbolc became a modern “festival,” it marked a practical moment in winter—when survival softened into hope. When tending the hearth, cleaning with care, mending what was worn, and protecting the body were sacred acts in themselves. One of the oldest Imbolc customs is leaving something out for Brigid to bless—often a scarf, cloth, coat, or jumper. This is traditionally done on the night of January 31, allowing it to remain out overnight and be brought in on February 1, carrying a blessing of warmth, protection, and care through the coming months. I just published a new Learning Library article exploring: Imbolc as a lived, seasonal rhythm Brigid and her deep connection to hearth, healing, fire, and water Why choosing less in winter creates more space for comfort and peace How boundaries and tending our “nest” protect energy rather than restrict it If you’ve found yourself slowing down, simplifying, or nesting lately—especially in winter or while preparing for a baby—you may already be living the Imbolc way. ✨ Read the full article here: 👉 https://www.annecatherineyoga.com/blog//imbolc-hearth-care-returning-light LINK May your hearth stay warm, your home feel held, and your hopes take root beneath the frost. 🌿🔥 #imbolc #brigid #celticfestival #springiscoming

Your pelvic floor is not broken. It’s not weak. And it doesn’t need to be “fixed.” It needs to be understood. After years of teaching, researching, and living inside this work, I created Pelvic Floor Wisdom — a comprehensive, trauma-informed guide designed to help you understand how your pelvic floor actually functions across every season of womanhood. This is not a workout plan. It’s not a list of exercises to “do harder.” And it’s definitely not about squeezing or gripping your way to healing. Inside this 142-page guide, you’ll learn: • how breath and pressure shape pelvic floor health • why symptoms like leaking, tension, prolapse, or discomfort show up • how pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause change pelvic floor needs • what functional core support actually means in daily life • gentle, essential practices that support lifelong pelvic health This guide is for you if: ✔️ you want clarity instead of fear ✔️ you’ve tried “doing the exercises” and still feel confused ✔️ you want to work with your body, not against it Pelvic Floor Wisdom is now available for $59 (link in bio) https://anne-catherine-perinatal-yoga-doula.kit.com/products/pelvic-floor-wisdom You don’t need more pressure. You need understanding, coordination, and care. Gratefully, Anne

✨ Your 6-Week Postpartum Visit Is Not the Finish Line ✨ That appointment can feel quick. Your recovery deserves more care, clarity, and support. If you’re approaching (or already past) your 6-week postpartum checkup, these two guides are intentionally designed to work together—so you’re not left wondering what “cleared” actually means. 🌿 6-Week Postpartum Checkup Guide • Know what questions to ask • Understand what your provider is (and isn’t) assessing • Advocate for your pelvic floor, core, hormones, and long-term healing 🔗 LINK IN BIO 🌿 Safe Return to Exercise Guide • Learn how to re-enter movement safely and gradually • Understand breath, pressure, and core coordination • Avoid the “too much, too soon” cycle that leads to leaks, pain, or setbacks 🔗 LINK IN BIO These are not workout plans. They’re education, reassurance, and a grounded roadmap—so you can move forward with confidence instead of guesswork. 💛 Best used together, because healing and movement are deeply connected. Save this for later or share it with someone preparing for their postpartum visit 🤍
