Amy Dannheim

The musings of Miami Beach based yoga instructor and yoga and lifestyle blogger Amy (Steiner) Dannheim.

we took our first walk to the yoga studio this morning and @hanzabar_ had made this 👼🏼🍍good nutrition and exercise are great for healing your body but community is the best medicine for the soul 💫can't wait to be back on the mat (with charlie in tow) but in the meantime i'm happy to just soak up the vibes. #tropicalvinyasa #love #community #newborn #miami #locallove

the cutest child's pose i ever did see 💞 and seasonally appropriate ☠️🎃#childspose #balasana #yogababy #fitpregnancy #yogamom #newborn

{postpartum} the last selfie before charlie and first selfie after - the left is three days before she arrived and the right is seven days after. 👼🏼 this female body is a miracle. towards the end, i was so over being pregnant - swollen, uncomfortable, tired - followed by a long labor, a c-section and then in the hospital, i was pumped up with fluids via my IV for 4 days straight which led to my lower body swelling to three times it's size 🤕 i had retained so much fluid that i actually left the hospital at the same weight i arrived at... and yet my body knows exactly what to do to get itself back to normal. each time i breastfeed, i feel my uterus contracting. each night, i sweat out the excess fluid. each day, this journey continues to amaze me... #postpartum #fitpregnancy #pregnancy #postpartumbody #postpartumbelly

being a mom is the fucking BEST 💕i love this little girl so much, it's like my emotional faucet got turned on full blast. all the colors are brighter 🌈 and on the flip side, the hormones are sooo real, so i opted to save my placenta (@moiked had to go to the hospital morgue to retrieve it!) and have it made into smoothie cubes and capsules. today i blended up the smoothie cubes with berries, protein and coconut milk - you can't taste anything. consuming the placenta is said to help with hormone regulation, internal healing, injects all kinds of vitamins and minerals and preventing the baby blues 👼🏼 #fitpregnancy #placenta #placentapills #postpartum #placentasmoothie #pregnant #overdue

finally having a little instagram moment 😍👼🏼🌷🌯#newborn #swaddle #babyheim #baby

homeward bound! 🙌🏼 mike drove us like a total champ. i cried tears of happiness. it's all setting in. exhausted. overjoyed. and feeling so lucky. this life, man... what a trip. #grateful #newmom #newborn #babygirl

i didn't plan for all these new bracelets. i had visions of a natural, unmedicated birth. but an chaotic emergency c-section was needed to bring her into the world, followed by a basically nonstop IV drip for the past few days. my self administered drugs have been insane gratitude, total surrender, probiotics and the addictive and intoxicating smell of this perfect little tiny baby who is now my daily reminder to reconsider all my "plans". i'm working on a blog post to share the whole story once we get home. for now, we chill 💞 #babyheim #birthplan #pregnancy #fitpregnancy #newborn #yogababy

hello world 💫 i'm charlie pauline dannheim. charlie after my mom's grandfather and pauline for my dad's sister who passed away. i was born yesterday and had quite the adventure getting here, which my mom will tell you all about after i wake up 💕so much love #babyheim
