Welcome to the Peaceful Power Podcast with Sara Lewis about restoring the core during the postpartum time period.

 

Introduction

I was introduced to Sara’s work from a mutual friend. I love her take on how to properly work the body after having a baby. Many times we try to rush back to fast and forget about making sure we are in proper alignment. Sara teaches us how to properly restore the core, ribs, pelvic alignment are all in place before venturing into a hardcore fitness routine again.

Background on Sara

Sara Lewis is also known as, The Uncool Trainer. She thinks relieving pain by getting muscles to function correctly is really cool! In this day and age of high intensity, maximum calorie burn, make you sore for days type workouts, Sara falls into the uncool category. And she’s okay with that. She loves working with clients who have limited mobility, unexplained aches and pains, and new moms. Sara believes the right exercises can help restore function, posture, and health.

LEarn My Story

My work is rooted in the belief that healing is not linear, but cyclical—like the seasons, like the womb. I help women reclaim their vitality through the sacred tools of Ayurveda, embodied movement, and intuitive rituals drawn from Mother Nature herself.

After the birth of my first son in 2016, Ayurveda became more than a practice—it became my lifeline. The postpartum window cracked me open and reoriented my path, deepening my devotion to supporting women in every season of life—from the fertile soil of postpartum to the sacred shifts of midlife.

I’m also the host of the Peaceful Power Podcast, where I explore how ancient wisdom meets modern life, and the author of two books on cyclical living—Divine Body Wisdom and Ayurvedic Approach to Healing Your Menstrual Cycle.

When I’m not in sacred space with clients, you can find me playing tennis, watching Hallmark mysteries, sipping my morning coffee with reverence, or adventuring on nature trails with my two boys and husband.
