Gratitude Sculpt: Prenatal & Postpartum Strength with Monique

For pregnant and postpartum women. This is a grown-ups-only class, so no babies this time. Your body carries so much, whether that’s a growing belly, a baby on your hip, or both. This Thanksgiving week, we’re thanking it the best way we know how: by getting strong together. Gratitude Sculpt is a pre/postnatal strength class at Austin Yoga Lounge, led by Monique. Expect light weights, bodyweight work, and steady breath, with movement that supports the parts of you doing the heavy lifting right now: legs, glutes, back, shoulders, and core. Every exercise comes with options, so whether you’re in your first trimester, your third, or months into postpartum, you’ll find a version that fits. What to expect We move with the breath, exhaling on the effort, and keep the focus on how you feel rather than how much you can do. There’s room to rest whenever you need it. You’ll close with a few quiet minutes to notice what your body has carried you through, and what it’s still carrying. As with any movement in pregnancy or postpartum, check with your provider about what’s right for you.
