How I healed from birth trauma (part 1 - birth story)
How I healed from birth trauma (part 1 - birth story)

When I started writing this article, I wanted to briefly touch on my birth and then share about how I healed from the traumatic events. But while writing, I realized that my birth deserved more than a few sentences, so I’ve divided the story into two parts. I’ll share my birth here, and then I’ll write more about my birth trauma healing journey in the next article.

What I've learned from teaching postnatal yoga
What I've learned from teaching postnatal yoga

If there’s one thing that made me grow tremendously as a yoga teacher, it’s teaching postnatal yoga. Teaching yoga to a group of mamas and their babies is so incredibly special and beautiful, but it’s also completely different from teaching a “normal” hatha or vinyasa yoga class. In this article I’d like to share more about what I’ve learned from teaching mother baby yoga in Oslo.

Sanga Yoga has moved!

Only six months after we started Sanga Yoga, we decided it was time for a chance: we needed a new home for our studio.

 
 
Hello, I am a mama to a 2-year old. Two years! 🎉 It’s been wild. Thank you dearest sonshine, I am so freaking proud of you. 💛
Enjoying the last few days as a 1-year old with lots of coloring, painting, singing and cuddling. 💛
Wednesday is the day I hold space for the mamas. ♡ . We move, we flow, we breathe, we meditate. Yes. But we also share, we bring women together; we create community. ♡ . I see the mamas grow, I see the babies grow, and I see the bond between them grow stronger and stronger, and I’m so freaking grateful to be part of their journey. ♡ . When we started @sangayoga we decided to always do more than just teaching yoga. We let women come early and have a tea with us and their yoga friends. We give women time to ask and share, to talk and listen. We keep the door open for women who come a little later. We hold space. Always. ♡ . . . #yoga #teachyoga #yogateacher #sangayoga #sangayoganorway #postpartum #postnatalyoga #motherhood #momlife #mompreneur #bossmom #bonding #babymassage #holdingspace #instamood #instayoga #prayer #mudra #gratitude #motherbaby #postnatal #barselyoga #osloyogis
Yes yes yes! We’ve added femine flow yoga to our @sangayoga schedule and I’ll lead the class! 📿🙃 We’ll harness the energy of the early moving, we’ll move from our womb center and we’ll flow with the cycles. 🌕🌗🌓🌚 First class = October 9th. All details on the @sangayoga profile. 💛💛💛. (Hands by @theresaharmanen - photo by @cenkaytekin)
I was gonna write about how I healed from birth trauma, but I ended up writing a short version of my birth story. ♡ On the blog, link in bio. . . . #birth #labour #pregnancy #mama #motherhood #trauma #birthstory #birthtrauma #ontheblog #linkinbio #sangayoga #yogamama #momlife #birthing #inspired #writer #therapy #teachyoga #yogateacher #inspiration #hospitalbirth #csection #csectionmama #mystory
After a few days of feeling it coming (a little more softness, a little more tenderness, ready to crack open) it’s there. The sweet release of the start of my moon time. I put on a red t-shirt, grab my menstruation cup, and celebrate with dark chocolate (I celebrate most things with dark chocolate though…haha). . For someone who’s been through infertility and went through years without even having a period, every moon time is a-ma-zing. I love to release of the blood, I love how tender and vulnerable I feel. I love my period. Period. . So every month, when the moon is dark, I celebrate my moon time.  I treat myself with a few restorative yoga pose or yoga nidra, I drink more tea and take my hot water bottle with me to bed. . A period doesn’t have to be annoying, or painful, or bad. It’s a beautiful, sacred time of the month, a special time to celebrate womanhood. . . . #woman #women #period #feminism #flow #moontime #newmoon #mooncycle #instamood #love #gratitude #bodypositivity #lovemybody #letitflow #menstruation #menstruationcup #teachyoga #yoga #restorativeyoga #restorativeyogatribe #yoganidra #yogateacher #restandrestore
Ending the day with a heart filled with gratitude. 🙏🏼💛📿 For the students that come to my class not just to move their bodies, but also to study the mind, to breathe, to come together and to share so openly. 💛 For the new classes we’re adding to our fall schedule (feminine flow yoga anyone?📿💛 and lots more!). 💛 For the pizza date with my favorite tiny human. 💛 And for me-time on the bolster. 💛 Thank you. 🙏🏼
Hello post practice face. 💛 When I travel, I find it hard to stick to my practice. Other times I think I’m too busy to practice, or Netflix wins from the mat after a long day of mothering and working. 😅 But after this last trip, I realized I had to walk the talk and practice what I preach: I had to start taking my home practice damn serious again. For my body, for my mind, for myself, for my family. 💛 The past week has been filled with moon time practices (thanks to @blissbabyyoga 🙏🏼), new inspiration (thank you @jason_crandell 🙏🏼) and lots of writing. 💛 It’s good to be home. 💛 (This also means that the members of our @sangayoga Sacred Space are in for a treat with new moon time practices up soon. 🧘🏻‍♀️)
