Low back pain in pregnancy is common.

(but your deep core can help)

Low back pain in pregnancy is common.

(but you don't have to suffer through it)

Hi there,

I'm Jaimi.

As I write this, I’m freshly out of my fourth trimester with baby number two. Both born at home with a midwife.

I filmed this course at 30 weeks pregnant — because I wasn't in pain. I had been working with myself, connecting my deep core. And when I looked around, I couldn't find anyone else talking about it this way.

From my own experience, as an Alexander Technique teacher and someone who has been working deeply with bodies in motion for past the 20 years, this is what helps.

The long story →

I've been looking at how the body moves for as long as I can remember. Teaching movement comes naturally — I know it in my bones. Throughout my twenties I danced on stages, taught yoga, and trained in the Alexander Technique. I taught in a university dance department, where I was honored as the person who most impacted first-year students on a campus of 22,000.

The question I always return to is the same: how does the body find ease and connection?

This course is the answer to how that looks for a pregnant body.

It's been on my mind for years.

I remember hiking into the backcountry, Lake Tahoe just coming into view. I had recently finished a prenatal yoga teacher training in San Francisco and was thinking about how little support there was for pregnant women navigating a changing body.

I was connecting ideas with what I already knew from years of studying and teaching the Alexander Technique (AT) — a somatic practice that looks at how we carry ourselves, and how we get in our own way. It’s also a place people land when they’ve tried everything for low back pain.

And I remember thinking:
Why aren’t we talking about these things in pregnancy? Aren't we just re-organizing ourselves around a shifting center of gravity?

Five years passed.

In that time, my AT teaching was quiet while my yoga teaching was thriving. My classes were full, I was leading retreats in far-off places, and working privately with people who win music awards. A Korean princess once called me a national treasure.

Then came the pandemic. Everything fell apart. And I got pregnant.

And suddenly the idea to help pregnant women came rushing back.

I created a series of prenatal yoga classes, but that wasn't it. I couldn’t yet wrap my mind around how to translate what my body already knew.

It wasn’t until my second pregnancy that it began to come into focus.

My husband (also an AT teacher) was dealing with a moment of low back pain and started to play with connecting his deep core to what we already knew. He suggested I try the same.

As we worked through it it started to make more and more sense. And it became clear the pattern wasn't only behind low back pain — it was related to pelvic girdle pain and sciatica too.

There was a predictable pattern hiding in plain sight.

And so we built this course. And I tried it with my yoga students. And he tried it with his AT students.

Again and again, it worked.

In my third trimester, people started to tell me, "you're such a great pregnant person!"
And I just smiled and said, "well, thank you."

But I knew how to work with the pattern.
I knew how to carry myself.

And that made all the difference.

Your belly is growing.

Your center of gravity is shifting. And your body is doing what bodies do — it's adapting.
Everything is reorganizing around this new weight in front of you. And that's predictable.

In this video, I’ll show you what's happening and how connecting with your deep core can help.

Prenatal Core Connect

is a seven day course for pregnancy related low back pain — finding relief through connection to your deep core and learning to work with the predictable pattern.

And if you want to practice — there's a second week that takes your new awareness into movement. By the end, you have a short routine you can return to.

Awareness, not exercise.

Each day introduces one thing.

A small layer that builds on the last.
Not a set of exercises, but a way of working with the pattern causing your low back to hurt.

llustration of a pregnant woman in three positions: constructive rest, deep core engagement, and bridge pose.

And that carries into everything

How you get out of bed.
How you walk.
All the real life stuff.

"I’m pregnant with my third, and after struggling with back pain in my first two pregnancies, I knew I needed something different. At 26 weeks, I’m having so much less pain. Whenever something flares, I go back to the fundamentals of this course and feel relief almost immediately. I’m more mindful in how I move, and it’s so simple yet so powerful. I’m truly thankful for this course.”

"Jaimi’s course is grounded in clear, accessible anatomy and is incredibly easy to follow. It’s helping my patients, and as I move into my own second trimester, it’s keeping my back happy too. Such a valuable resource for pregnancy."
