Today on MS understood we chat with Clarissa Hidalgo. Clarissa received her yoga teacher certification in 2017. She had begun practicing after her diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis in 2010, and experiencing mobility issues in 2012. After becoming pregnant in 2015 she discovered and fell in love with prenatal yoga. He speciality has become accessible yoga, working with those of all bodies and abilities. After the birth of her second daughter Clarissa founded Multiple Sclerosis Mamas, a facebook support group for women with multiple sclerosis. And is currently creating a paid wellness program for women with multiple sclerosis. Throughout this chat we talked about being mamas with MS, and how difficult that can be, we talked about the community that Clarissa has built and the support that she gives and receives in there and we chatted about her finding yoga and how that's changed her life. I hope you get something out of this chat, just like I did.

I'm honoured to be able to share stories from people living with MS from all works of life from all over the world. Something you could do to help me out is give me a five star review, this helps others to be exposed to the podcast. and may just reached a newly diagnosed person when they really needed it. Alright let's dive in to todays chat.
