    Feb 25 2026
    Today is all about induction at 39 weeks- something I hear often when my students approach that point in pregnancy. We’ll take a closer look at the ARRIVE Trial and explore whether the data truly reflects what’s happening in labor and delivery units. What are the real pros and cons of elective induction? What are the risks and potential benefits? Join us as we unpack this nuanced and often debated topic. On this episode of Yoga | Birth | Babies I am joined by Dr. Elizabeth Langen.

  • Does a Cesarean Birth “Save Your Vagina” & Other Myths Busted with Dr. Janelle Howell - A Revisit!
    Feb 18 2026
    I’m so happy that the pelvic floor is finally getting its moment to shine. This incredibly important set of muscles impacts our breath, continence, helps keep our organs in place, and affects our day to day comfort. It certainly deserves our attention! However not all of the information people are sharing about it is factual and some of these myths can lead to real physical issues over time. On this episode of Yoga | Birth | Babies I speak with Dr. Janelle Howell, DPT, WCS about these common myths. From assumptions like a cesarean birth will prevent prolapse and keep things tight, or that Kegel exercises will solve everything, or waist trainers will shrink your waist, Dr. Howell busts through these myths with facts and shares evidence based solutions. This refreshing conversation clears the air about topics many are often hesitant to talk to a care provider about, but can have a huge impact on your quality of life.
