I am getting fit despite being pregnant with MyYogaWorks! #MC

*I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for MyYogaWorks. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.*

Screen Shot 2014-02-02 at 11.03.26 AMOne of my New Year’s Resolutions was to try to stay fit for this new baby and me. Being about 18 weeks pregnant, sometimes it is no easy task to work out,  but I know the necessity of it in the long run for both of us. Just about a year before I got pregnant, I found a new exercise which I absolutely learned to love right away-Yoga! I practiced yoga several times a week at our local studio and even mastered my favorite position, Downward-Facing Dog. While I need to modify some positions now with being pregnant, I absolutely knew I wanted to keep up with my yoga routine while pregnant, however, I did not want to drive in the snowy/freezing weather, to go to my studios. Now, I am able to keep up with my yoga through MyYogaWorks, which is a series of on-demand yoga classes you can do at home, while traveling, or even at your work office.

MyYogaWorks offers 500 online yoga classes ranging in length from 5 to 90 minutes. Whether you are brand new to yoga or are advanced, they will have the class for you at MyYogaWorks. Classes are available for all skill ranges from beginner to novice.  MyYogaWorks also offers specialty classes like pre & post natal yoga, meditation and more. Being pregnant, MyYogaWorks has been a real lifesaver.Screen Shot 2014-02-02 at 11.03.16 AM

When I was first scouting out the website, I was able to easily find the Journey to Birth series for those who are pregnant, like me.   They have a beginner and advanced series, with videos targeting the trimester you are in. It gives you a schedule to follow, along with how many times of week each series could be done. While I have been doing some of the advanced exercises, I have been sticking more to the beginning videos, since I am still not feeling 100 percent from having the flu last month. To find the time to do the videos, I usually wake up about 30 minutes early, go to MyYogaWorks, and then do one of the beginner prenatal videos. Due to me being a busy, working mom of two, waking up a little early and exercising, helps me get a fresh start to the day, and leaves me energized to tackle the remainder of my day. One of my favorites is Prenatal Rise & Shine, which stretches out my whole body and makes me feel so good!

Screen Shot 2014-02-02 at 11.03.02 AMI highly suggest you trying out MyYogaWorks today! For a limited time, visit MyYogaWorks and use the coupon code YOGA2014 to receive a free, one-month subscription to MyYogaWorks (you will need to put in a credit card but will not be charged till after your first month is completed).

    Good for you! I remember when I was pregnant I did NOTHING to workout and afterwards I regretted that decision. I think had I worked out it would have been easier to take the weight off afterwards.

    That is awesome! Keep up the good work. It really is true that you will take the weight off much easily after baby is born!

    I love doing Yoga… How great for you that you found a Journey To Birth series. I bet it ends up making your labor so much less intense.

    I definitely give you a lot of props. When I am pregnant I use it as an excuse to be lazy!

    I was totally a lazy pregnant person, but I’ve read a lot since then about the benefits of prenatal yoga. I wish I knew about it when I was pregnant. Good for you for staying fit!

    Way to go… I heard Yoga is amazing at any stage of your life.. Yet, I’m in too much pain to do it myself, I know it would help me though. Keep up the great work…

    I have been seriously thinking about trying Yoga… My body is not very strong and I think Yoga could help me out with this issue!

    I am going to take advantage of that free trial! I’ve never really tried yoga but I want to. I think it would do wonders for my stress. Congrats on the pregnancy and for making it a healthy one!

    I keep trying to do yoga and love it when I do, unfortunately all mine are on DVD’s and my boys usually control the television. My compeer does not have a DVD player in it. I really need to find an online version.
