Wild Medicine


May 7, 2019

Gigi Yogini is joining Michelle Peris to engage in a candid and powerful conversation about women during prenatal and postpartum phases, talking about body positivity but mostly addressing the overarching ideas of women’s empowerment and wellbeing, and the importance of reclaiming the power of femininity in this particular stage in women’s lives. Topics as miscarriage, fear, faith, community, support, and collaboration are being addressed while light is being shed over common myths and preconceptions about women’s experiences during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum phases.

 

Gigi Yogini is an E-RYT yoga teacher and wellness leader who has been teaching yoga since 2009. A passionate advocate for body positivity and women’s empowerment, Gigi is dedicated to sharing yoga as a tool for cultivating courage, building confidence and creating community. A twin mama with a Master Degree in Communication, Gigi creates opportunities for heart-centered sharing to help women navigate through the challenges and celebrations of motherhood.
