ZUMBA CLASS - Friday, 7/24/09 at 6:30 pm. Reservations are required; $15/person!!

Welcome to our website.  The reasons why people practice yoga have changed over time.  In the past, it was mainly practiced by "earthy folks".  Then came yoga's celebrity period when people such as Madonna or Jennifer Aniston boasted about practicing yoga, which made everyone want to try it!  Nowadays, yoga has become a means of maintaining our sanity during such difficult times.  Whatever reason may have drawn you to this wonderful ancient form of exercise, we welcome you. 

Mother's Embrace studio is intimate and comfortable with no bright lights. We are located in a street-level space.  Our space was built in the 1920's and we have worked hard to hold on to the charm that existed during that time period.  Because our goal is to help you relax, you can expect soft music, candlelight and a peaceful atmosphere to help calm things down.  Out of respect for our students with allergies, we use an air purifying system to bring us all cleaner air and we are a scent free studio.  We offer AC in the summer and heat in the winter. 

We currently offer the following Specialty Yoga classes:

** Hatha Yoga - These classes are appropriate for beginners and up. Breathing, stretching, lots of relaxation. A good starting place for those with absolutely no experience or those who are easing their way back into exercise. These classes will reset your stress button! (light arm weights or yoga on the ball included from time to time in this class.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Prenatal (pregnancy)/Postnatal Yoga - Safe, gentle, modified stretching to help tone and strengthen the muscles that are used for delivery. Great group of people, all in various stages of pregnancy. Lots of networking. You will love this class! This class is also appropriate after the baby is born as a stepping stone towards returning to regular yoga classes and exercise in general, as well as give new moms a place to have an hour that belongs to them.   We also offer Mommy's Time support group for new moms and their infants as well as Storybook Yoga for toddlers!

**Yoga of the Heart  (Cardiac and Cancer Yoga)-  A new addition to our class offerings, this special type of yoga is for those dealing with cardiac issues, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, angioplasty, stenting and even post coronary bypass surgery.  Class includes very modified postures and deep relaxation techniques that are safe and gentle.  Taught by a Yoga of the Heart certified specialist. 

Our specialty is making yoga available to everyone through modification and education.
