Pre Natal Yoga
Pregnancy is one of the most extraordinary times in a woman's life. It is a time for nurturing Mom as well as the unborn child. It’s also time for learning to meditate and find focus in breath. Prenatal Yoga classes provide safe exercises designed to strengthen and relax the rapidly changing pregnant body, preparing one for childbirth and the opportunity for mother and child to bond prior to birth.
Prenatal Yoga goes beyond the physical realm of movement and embraces pranayama/breathing techniques that relax the mind and gives focus during times of stress and uncertainty as well as meditations that help a mother discover a deeper sense of peace. Come join the community of other women on a similar journey. All stages of pregnancy welcome.
