It's confirmed.. you are expecting a baby.. congratulations! Pregnancy is a time of life when staying fit is even more important than usual, not only for you but also for your little miracle! Yoga is an excellent and safe way to stay flexible while relaxing and empowering yourself through lots of education and oh-so-important information. Through this ancient practice of gentle stretching, breathing and chanting, you can learn to bond with your baby throughout the pregnancy and be an active part of your birth experience.
Prenatal yoga also offers a unique opportunity to gather with other ladies who are going through all of the same changes/experiences and instant friendships develop. The class atmosphere is welcoming, nonjudgmental and interactive. While we do not endorse any particular way of giving birth, choosing instead to be neutral which allows for all points of view to feel comfortable, educational material and speakers are included in the classes from time to time.
SOME OF THE MANY BENEFITS OF PRACTICING YOGA DURING PREGNANCY INCLUDE:
*Increased energy
*Decreased anxiety
*Strengthening of the pelvic floor and deep groin muscles to aid in childbirth
*Improves sleep
*Reduces backache
*Lessens symptoms of sciatica and round ligament issues through improved posture
*Improves circulation
*Quickens postpartum recovery
Come and spend time in a nurturing, relaxing and very supportive atmosphere. We love moms-to-be!
CLASSES ARE FOR PREGNANT LADIES ONLY -
No prior yoga experience needed
Note: expecting twins or triplets? We have worked with many moms of multiples through the years! Check with your OB professional and join us if you can! Classes are interactive and open to all pregnant ladies, regardless of what your birth plan entails.. epidurals or no, home births or hospital births, matters not.. we can all learn from each other. This is a no judgment class.. come and feel the difference support can mean!
