Jane's description of this class:
"In each class we start in a circle with each person having a chance to share a little with the group. We usually have 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimester gals, and we are inviting in new moms and their new babies as well! Then we have a short meditation, warm ups, and yoga postures (no experience necessary) that are geared towards strengthening, and centering, helping to create an easier child birthing experience, supporting new moms and enhancing all relationships. We complete with a nice 15 min relaxation with pillows and blankets. It is a great way to connect with yourself, your baby and with other gals experiencing this awesome time in your lives."
Practicing yoga throughout pregnancy offers many benefits for a healthy pregnancy and healthy parenting. Yoga creates strength and flexibility, and develops steady focus and attention. While these classes are appropriate for all levels of pregnancy, please consult your doctor before beginning this practice. Please pre register.
When you pre commit to the series, make ups may be requested for the regular drop in gentle yoga classes on our core class schedule. No cash refunds or credits towards pre natal yoga.
If the pre natal class times do not meet your life's schedule, consider joining one of our gentle classes, let the instructor know that you are expecting, and you can enjoy the benefits of yoga in these classes. You will be asked to modify and rest if the postures are contraindicated for pregnancy, but most of the class will be accessible to you.
