She is an amazing strong woman and shares with us her story of raising her child as a single mother.Despite being told she wouldn&apos;t be able to conceive, Irena found out she was pregnant at eight weeks. Early into her third trimester, Irena experienced an issue with her cervix and was told to have complete bed rest.

Irena turned to her yoga mat and began a practice, feeling this was her only safe place.Irena has taken trips to Mysore and then Bali, where she found a supportive community of mothers. We hear how yoga has given her the strength to endure the challenges and heartache that she faced.This is a great episode, and you will get to hear all about how she has managed to raise her daughter, maintained her ashtanga yoga practice, while teaching or running her yoga shala.

Lisa Meconi has been a practitioner of ashtanga yoga for 10 years, practicing primary and intermediate series. She and her partner Jeremiah, and son Cormac live in New Hampshire, USA.This is a heartfelt episode, as Lisa shares in depth her journey of loss during pregnancy, experiencing a miscarriage within the first trimester of her first pregnancy. This episode is pertinent, as this month, October, is International Pregnancy and Infancy Loss month. In our society, women and families are encouraged to keep pregnancy to themselves during the first trimester, due to the high incidence of pregnancies not being viable. However, in doing so, this shuts down the support circle during the healing period after loss.Lisa shares how the women around her rallied, and gave her immense support during the initial phase of grieving the loss of her child. Lisa then shares the process through healing grief and being in a place to plan for another pregnancy.Following the birth of her son, Lisa experienced post natal anxiety and depression, due to body trauma from birth, a debilitating back condition and the guilt that she felt. Lisa&apos;s resilience through this time is inspiring, she would visualise her yoga practice in the absence of a physical practice.This story covers the unique relationship a teacher can create with a student, pregnancy after miscarriage, placenta previa, adjusting practice during pregnancy, hospital birth, epidural, birth trauma, back condition, post natal anxiety and depression, and returning to practice after birth.If this episode creates distress based on past or present events, and you are not familiar with what professional support is available to you, please reach out to be connected with services in your area.MentionsKimberly Dahlmann <a href='https://www.yogaeastyoga.com'>Yoga East</a> <a href='http://www.ashtangamaui.com/nancy'>Nancy Gilgoff</a><a rel="payment" href="https://seventhseries.net/patreon/">Support the show</a>
