Prenatal Yoga

YOU ARE HAVING A BABY! (PRENATAL YOGA)

Prenatal yoga… an opportunity to connect with your body, your self, and your baby. The prenatal time is a period of much growth and change on every level for the expectant person. Yoga is the perfect vehicle for embracing all of these changes by encouraging the body, mind, and soul to integrate the growth of the prenatal time with greater ease. Continuing a physical practice develops strength and endurance and prepares the body for birth and parenting.

Classes will offer mindfulness, yoga asana (postures) and breath work (pranayama). Mindfulness in pregnancy develops the breath and body connection, creates opportunities for reflection on the expectant person's changing needs, and supports connection with the growing little person. Yoga postures can offer strength, relief from common pregnancy discomforts, and build endurance and balance. Following the breath in pregnancy develops lung capacity, calms the nervous system, and awakens the intuition of the body and mind. Prenatal yoga classes support expectant people to embrace all that the perinatal year holds throughout pregnancy, the birthing process and the postnatal time.
