This week, we're talking to Erica Rodefer Winters, a yoga teacher in Charleston, SC who specializes in teaching prenatal yoga and postnatal yoga.

When the magical, "natural" birth of her first daughter didn't go to plan, Erica reflected and changed her approach the second time around. Instead of magical thinking, she leaned into her intuition and used her yogic tools to go deeply inward and trust herself. She uses this guiding philosophy now when she teaches her students. It's a great reminder to trust your gut at any phase of life when you're unsure of the next course of action.

We talk about:

* Her yoga origin story and how her first teacher inspired her

* Why she teaches prenatal yoga (even though she didn't love prenatal yoga classes during her first pregnancy)

* How she uses yoga asana, breathing, and mindfulness practices to tap into her intuition -- a practice that helped her during the birth of her daughters. And a couple ways that she helps her students to learn to listen to their intuition, too.

* Plus, how she leans on that inner wisdom for all the tough decisions that come up for her now in parenting and other aspects of life.
