Everyone is welcome during any stage of their pregnancy. No previous yoga experience is required. Classes are designed to alleviate common ailments of pregnancy, as well as help reduce stress and steady the mind (helpful during pregnancy, birth and into parenthood).

Prenatal yoga supports a hardworking body. We take variations of postures and use props that provide support for the extra weight a person carries while pregnant; accommodate for the extra effort it takes to move and breathe during pregnancy; focus on building strength and opening through the lower body (connecting with the power of the legs and glutes, while bringing space and softness through the pelvis and front of the torso); dedicate time for supported, restorative postures to focus on the breath and make a connection with baby; we connect with each other; and we exchange information, share resources and provide community support. Sequences include repetitive motion and moving with breath like rocking, rolling and shifting to help mobilize joints and release stiffness.

Students are invited to share as little or as much of what they are experiencing week to week (what feels good, what doesn’t, what’s new, etc.).
