Description
We’re back with my favorite type of podcast episode, a birth story! We’ve been able to create an amazing community of students here at PYC. I see many of these students twice, sometimes three time a week. I get to know them, hear their stories, listen to their concerns and I am able to share with them what I’ve learned. Today we have Katie Lohiya, sharing her birth story. She has been part of our PYC community since she was 13 weeks pregnant. She attended class 2-3 times per week, even when she wasn’t in NYC she would join online, which I absolutely adored. I was able get to know Katie well. We have a similar background, we are both dancers and performers and I resonated with her. When I asked her to share her birth story she said “absolutely.” Katie tells a beautiful birth story. I am deeply honored that as she was explaining her story, her time at PYC was very much interwoven into her birth. I am very appreciative that the time we spent together helped her throughout her labor experience.
On today’s episode of Yoga | Birth | Babies, we’ve invited Katie Lohiya, one of our community members. She is originally from Chicago but has lived in NYC for 14 years. Katie graduated from Marymount Manhattan College with a BFA in Dance. Before having her daughter, she danced professionally for a contemporary company (Lydia Johnson Dance) and has taught extensively throughout NYC. She’s been married to her husband Vaibhav for 10 years and they live on the Upper West Side.
Katie recommends that parents trust their instincts when it comes to pregnancy, birth and parenthood. She points out that there is so much information to sift through, that it helps to tap into their own intuition. Whether it’s finding the right provider, advocating for themselves in labor, or getting a second opinion from a pediatrician, she believes that if parents trust their inner voice they will ultimately make the best decision for their family. Katie’s story is heartfelt and candid. I’m really excited for you to hear her story, it’s very special!
