A Village for Every Parent: The Power of Connection in the Perinatal Period with Shai Tamary

When becoming a new parent, it is crucial to have a community you can count on to not only understand what you’re going through, but also to show up for you. This is true for both pregnancy and postpartum… and also parenthood beyond. In this episode of Yoga | Birth | Babies, I’m joined by Shai Tamary. Shai is a community builder, program strategist, and yoga teacher based in New York City. She is the founder of The Nest, a grassroots perinatal community. A new mom herself, she is passionate about reimagining the perinatal period not as a time of isolation, but as an opportunity to build lasting village-like support. * Get the most out of each episode by checking out the show notes with links, resources and other related podcasts at: prenatalyogacenter.com [https://prenatalyogacenter.com/a-village-for-every-parent-the-power-of-connection-in-the-perinatal-period-with-shai-tamary/] * Don’t forget to grab your FREE guide, 5 Simple Solutions to the Most Common Pregnancy Pains HERE [https://prenatalyogacenter.com/5-simple-solutions-to-pregnancy-aches-pains]  * If you love what you’ve been listening to, please leave a rating and review!

In this episode of Yoga | Birth | Babies, I’m joined by Dr. Marlena Fejzo, a leading women’s health scientist and researcher.
