In this week's episode of How Yoga Changed My Life a Podcast, Adrienne and Nora sit down with Deb Flashenberg, founder of the Prenatal Yoga Center in NYC, to explore what it truly means to listen to your body through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
Deb brings decades of experience as a prenatal yoga teacher, labor support doula, childbirth educator, and pelvic health specialist. After a challenging first birth, her curiosity and commitment to understanding pelvic health, functional movement, and empowered birth deepened—leading her to advanced training in Yoga, pelvic floor health, pregnancy and postpartum corrective exercise.
Together, Adrienne, Nora, and Deb discuss:
- Why pregnancy and birth should never be one-size-fits-all
- The importance of non-prescriptive, non-restrictive movement practices
- How functional yoga supports a functional birth
- Pelvic health as a lifelong conversation—not just a postpartum concern
- Learning to trust your body’s wisdom instead of overriding it
Deb also shares how her passion for education and advocacy inspired her podcast, Yoga | Birth | Babies, where she has had conversations with some of the most respected voices in the birth world, including Penny Simkin, Gail Tully, Pam England, Rebecca Dekker, Dr. Sarah Buckley, and many more.
At the heart of this episode is a simple but powerful reminder...Know what feels good to you. Have a conversation with your body.
Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, a movement professional, or simply curious about embodied choice and empowerment, this episode offers insight, compassion, and permission to do things your way.
