Prenatal Yoga is a special class for expecting moms designed to help you meet the challenges and transformations of pregnancy and birth with strength, confidence and calm. Prenatal Yoga incorporates gentle, safe movements and stretches to strengthen and open your body; breathing exercises to increase calm, focus and balance; and relaxation techniques to release deeply held tensions and to promote the well-being of you and your baby. Connect to your innate wisdom of the process of birth, and bring your awareness to the spirit of your baby as you learn safe, effective yoga poses for each trimester and breathing techniques that will prepare and relax you for a smooth labor. Pregnancy is a time for moderation, not to obtain the perfect pose and we recommend modifying movements or to rest as necessary. This class is safe for all trimesters. We recommend that you consult your physician before beginning prenatal yoga.
Pre-registration is required; no drop-ins permitted.
