"I found my passion in healthy movement by encompassing full body acceptance.."
My name is Eva Behenska, and I am the creator of exercise programs tailored for women, specifically after giving birth. The goal of my work is to make exercise a joyful daily practice. As a trainer and instructor, I found my passion in healthy movement by encompassing full body acceptance and true expression of self-love through the connection of body and mind. I love to connect exercise with somatics, which I consider to be the source of all physical ailments. I believe in teaching wholehearted acceptance of each woman's unique body. To listen to our body is to understand our body.
Having gone through postpartum depression and the lack of available information, I have created a tool that can help you navigate this delicate path of becoming a mom, being a partner, and, above all being you in all your authenticity. Giving birth is a true miracle. Our bodies are amazing, and nothing compares to holding your baby! But often once we have given birth, we often forget to prioritize our well-being. Our bodies went through a tremendous journey and should have time to recover and heal. This book will help you take charge of your own postnatal recovery to be the best version of yourself so you can look after your baby in the best possible way.
„The optimal guide to getting back to your Queendom after having a child.“ What will the book help you with? You will understand your body and what is happening to it. You'll learn movements and exercises that you can safely practice after childbirth. I will explain somatics and give you advice on how to fall in love with your body again after childbirth. The book is prepared for women with great respect for the female body.

Eva is a former ballerina who has been learning to hate her body since she was ten years old. While working in theatre, she decided to go to college in a completely different field - economics. This gave her a new perspective on life that was not so strict and critical. Because of her physical problems (back and hip pain), she took up Pilates and physical therapy and became a professional private trainer in 2007.
She began to feel her body better, but it wasn't until her pregnancy in 2012 that she brought Eva to a path of understanding how perfect the body is when it can create such a miracle. Even though she gained 25 kg, she felt great in her body. Unfortunately, after giving birth, that feeling faded, postpartum depression set in, and a huge gap was created between what she read in books and how she actually felt. She found no information on how to take care of her body after childbirth, no mention of what to do, and how to move healthily and not hurt herself after childbirth. She decided to change that and spent six years developing her exercise program for women after childbirth. As of 2018, she has trained other instructors on working with women after childbirth, published a book, and started a company focusing on women-only exercise. In 2023, she became a certified energy coach and worked with clients individually to create customized workouts.
