Descriptions for Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga Classes

WHAT IS PRENATAL YOGA?

Our prenatal yoga classes are appropriate for all stages of pregnancy. Yoga is a perfect way to restore and relax at all stages of motherhood and to prepare your body and mind for childbirth. Our yoga for pregnancy classes offer a one-hour combination of strengthening and stretching. You will learn effective breathing techniques, pelvic floor exercises, fetal positioning for labor, hip openers, as well as postures to release tension in the neck, shoulders, and back. This is a wonderful way to connect with yourself and your baby for the journey that lies ahead! No previous yoga experience is necessary to participate in yoga classes for pregnancy.
