Body positivity doesn’t end with pregnancy. Having been recently pregnant for those familiar nine months ourselves, this illustrative series from Danish artist Marie Jørgensen speaks especially sweetly to my consistently changing body. In case you missed it, we previously shared Jørgensen’s work challenging the stereotypical “yoga body” or what we’ve been conditioned to believe it is.
In this new series, a collaboration with NYC-based Love Child Yoga, the focus is on pregnant mommas and they’re beautiful curves, bumps and bellies. Jørgensen’s intention is to present “natural and relatable human bodies,” and she does so by illustrating them in their barest form — their birthday suit!
Yes, they’re naked, and what they represent is a beautiful display of honesty and strength.
The full series will be out soon as prints. For now you can enjoy them on instagram where a few poses are animated and narrated by @LoveChildYoga.

These pictures say a lot about the positive vibes that a pregnant woman bestows. Really a good work.
I’ve always love the women body for the many things it represents. These Yoga and pregnancy images compliments the women body perfectly: http://alternative-fitness.com/core-exercise-routine-for-second-trimester-of-pregnancy/
My back was killing me and I changed my bed but that didn’t help. I have been practising Yoga for 2 months now and it has really helped me a lot.

Yasss! If you’re heavy or pregnant, you need yoga more than ever.
