BollyX with Minal

Usually this bump pic is taken in a fitness studio. 😜 And with some kind of caption, like “baby is the size of a....” With my first pregnancy, I have a whole album dedicated to these pics with , and . This time the collection of pics is much smaller (basically what you see here), but just as important. It’s evidence that baby girl is loved and supported by a tribe of the coolest people ever. 😎

So, here’s my bump pic, week 26. Baby is the size of a butternut squash. 🤰🏽

My dream team... 😇 After two weeks of fighting a cold, I finally got a chance to lead my first class of the year with my dance besties and . I love that teaching with them pushes me to become better and better. I love that seeing them keeps me devoted to my own health and fitness. And I love sharing the positive energy of the space with them and all our class participants week after week. More of this in 2020!

Here's a throwback to last week, when we danced, jump squatted, and cheered under the 90 degree sunshine in Herald Square. Thanks to Dr. Jordan Metzl and the BollyX team (Danny, Vinay, Meena, Ish*ta, Amar, Sri, Ilana, Shara - Dream Team!) here for making this event a blast. The team work was a breeze, and we had nothing but smiles (and sweat!) on this beautiful day.

Until next time...!

Shoutout to my teammates who will be rocking BX out with me: Danny, Sairah, Amar, Meena, Vinay, Shara, and Ilana!

Last night I finally took the plunge and taught my first full BollyX - The Bollywood Workout class since giving birth to my baby. After a challenging childbirth and recovery, I started rehabbing my body pretty diligently with the help of some amazing trainers. I also started wetting my feet with BollyX classes, and Danny, Emily, and Vinay were pivotal in building my confidence over several months. Tonight was my first solo BollyX class after almost 12 months! I felt strong, I felt revived, and I had a ton of fun! Thanks to Vinay for hyping me and being my right hand man!

Postpartum recovery takes several months and is different for every woman. For me, it has been humbling to rebuild myself. My core still needs to be strengthened, my stamina still needs work, and my muscles need to be conditioned. But, damn, I got through today and kept it together, and that was a *huge* win for me.

I love getting stronger.
