If I could pinpoint one practice that has supported me the most throughout the process of childbirth into motherhood, it would be yoga. Not the type of yoga commonly portrayed on social media, which is mainly the physical aspect of postures (asanas), but the whole of yoga as a transformational method that helps us become…
Hi friends! My name is Diana Welham and I’m an LA based yoga instructor and new mom to a sweet baby girl. As this month is National Yoga Month I wanted to share a bit about my journey with yoga and how it’s evolved since having a child. I’ll also be sharing my favorite poses…

From having your days filled with diaper duty and sleepless nights to getting in as much cuddle time as possible and being lost in your little love’s eyes, the one…
We all know the benefits of yoga and the benefits of babywearing. Since I’m a fan of both, I love that I’m able to combine them to help create baby-friendly exercise that we both can enjoy.
