Katy Wright has been a student of Ashtanga Yoga since 2005. While she has dabbled in teaching yoga her main profession is as a writer. She’s originally from the UK, and currently lives in France with her partner. Two years ago, Katy gave birth to their daughter Iris.

Being a writer Katy takes us on a journey through her experience of pregnancy birth and postpartum recovery. She shares the research she discovered during her pregnancy and postpartum, that she has since shared as a blog, for ashtanga practitioners.

Katy also shares her experience of having a baby while living abroad, with the language barrier creating a challenge during antenatal classes, and later, the isolation that this brought. Katy was also aware of the differences in attitudes and approaches to birth in France, compared to the UK.
