Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s Meditation Trainer Shares Her Best Tips for Busy Moms

It can be hard for moms to carve out time to concentrate on themselves, but meditation expert Emily Fletcher believes meditating is actually the most selfless thing a mother can do.

“So many moms are so good at giving, sometimes to the point of exhaustion and depletion. If you’re running on empty, then you don’t have anything to give to your family,” explains Fletcher, who has instructed Jenna Dewan-Tatum in her Ziva Meditation technique.

“If you take the time to fill up your own tank with bliss and fulfillment and energy, then you’re going to be giving some higher quality time to your family.”

Whether you’re a mom of a newborn or older kids, Fletcher’s tips and advice will help you experience the benefits of meditation. (Dewan-Tatum credits meditation with her natural glow, so it’s definitely worth trying!)

Mom-to-Be Runs 800-Meter Race at U.S. Track and Field Championships

06/27/2014 at 11:00 AM ET

When it comes to keeping her first child active, Olympian Alysia Montaño is off to a running start.

On Thursday, the former University of California track star, 28, ran the 800-meter race during the U.S. Track and Field Championships — at 8 months pregnant.

“I’ve been running throughout my pregnancy and I felt really, really good during the whole process,” Montaño told ESPN following her prenatal dash. “I just didn’t want to get lapped and be the first person to get lapped in the 800.”

Though the five-time national champion didn’t beat her 2010 personal record of 1:57.34, the mom-to-be wasn’t that far behind. While maintaining a steady pace and hauling an extra 30 pounds, she still managed to clock in at 2:32.13, with a roaring audience ovation to carry her to the finish line.

Although she’s staying mum on the subject of her pregnancy officially, Kelly Rowland seems to be saying a whole lot via social media.

Her latest offering? A bump-revealing photo of herself doing prenatal yoga, which the newly-married singer posted Thursday on Facebook and Instagram.

Clearly, the mom-to-be is at peace with sharing her baby news directly with her fans.

Last week, Rowland, 33, posted an Instagram photo of two pairs of Air Jordans — one adult and one pint-sized — with the caption “I’ll be stuntin like my daddy…” to announce her good news.

The couple were also spotted buying baby gear at Bel Bambini in West Hollywood, Calif. not long after their intimate wedding ceremony.

Houston Parents Are Embracing the Baby Spa – And Here’s Why

06/13/2014 at 10:00 AM ET

Victoria was a fussy, colicky, preemie who never napped. “It was terrible,” says her mom, 30-year-old hat designer Veronica Schiller.

Then a friend told her about Float Baby, a spa for newborns in Houston, Texas. On her first visit, the then 2-month-old happily floated in the baby water spa, then her mom wrapped her in a warm towel and gave her a 20-minute massage.

“She was super relaxed and calm,” says her mother. “Then she was starving. She drank the whole bottle — which is completely unusual. And as soon as she got home, she took a five-hour nap.”

After their successful first session, Schiller started taking her daughter once a week for a month, eventually moving up to twice a week.

Miranda Kerr‘s healthy lifestyle is definitely rubbing off on 3-year-old son, Flynn. And he has quite the impressive vocabulary to prove it.

“The other day he was like, ‘Mama, I want to make a smoothie.’ He wanted to make his own smoothie, and then he said, ‘This one’s for you. It’s full of antioxidants,'” the model mom told PEOPLE at a Reebok event in N.Y.C.

“He’s three years old, how does he know that? He obviously heard me talking.”

Kerr’s little boy has also become a big part of her fitness routine. “We dance all the time, he loves it. It’s one of his favorite things.”
