Survey Regarding Pregnancy & Your Aerial Life
Thank you so much for taking the time to write out your responses. As you know, the first thing we do when we are pregnant as a mover is wonder what can we do, and wonder what the journey has been like for other movers. Every mom shares a unique connection, and I hope I can connect the small world of those of us who have been through pregnancy as an aerialist.
Select responses and general trends/data will be shared in my upcoming book. The book uses the platform of Prenatal Aerial Yoga to address any aerialists' journey through pregnancy. The book will be particularly helpful for aerialists who find themselves pregnant as well teachers who haven't been pregnant themselves but are interested in working with pregnant woman. Thank you! - Rebekah
