Our first episode as Steeped in Wellness, formerly The Matcha Guardians. Lauren Seib, a prenatal and postnatal fitness specialist and a longtime friend of Elara's, tells us how she moved from burnout in publishing to strength coaching for moms.
Lauren's view is that pregnancy is a time to adjust training, not stop it. She explains why blanket rules like never lifting or keeping your heart rate under 140 are out of date, and why she starts with breath, pressure management and functional strength. Any changes should fit the person and be agreed with your own care team.
