Sarah’s Prenatal Playlist – “This Woman’s Work”

Here’s yet another fantastic prenatal yoga playlist from Blooma founder Sarah Longacre.

I call this “The Woman’s Work” playlist because of Kate Bush’s stunning song of the same name. (The Maxwell version is also worth a listen!) Turn it up, come to your mat, and breathe deep into your hearts, mamas!

Love,

Alisa & the women of Blooma
