Pregnancy is a unique and wondrous time in life. As a yoga center we help parents and children openly explore the mind, body, and spirit. Using a three-pronged approach to our teaching, our classes address the aches and pains of pregnancy so students feel better each day, we foster a supportive community of friendship, and we integrate childbirth education into our classes to help the mother be more prepared and empowered for labor, delivery and motherhood. PHYSICAL COMFORT Highly trained and educated instructors cater to the anatomical, hormonal, and muscular changes which occur normally in the pregnant body by creating sequences which lessen discomfort so students feel better after each class. Classes also preparing the mother both physically - specifically with focus on proper pelvic alignment - and mentally for birth whether that be medicated, natural or cesarean. COMMUNITY We start each class with “circle timeâ€, a time where the women introduce themselves, say how far along they are, and discuss any aches and pains they would like to address in class. Pregnancy and postpartum periods carry such enormous physical and emotional changes;and this bonding time creates a springboard for long lasting friendships among students. CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION We interweave childbirth education themes and current birthing trends into our classes. Our intention is that the new mothers will feel more confident and prepared to make conscious, educated decisions during pregnancy, labor, delivery and motherhood.
