Empowering You and Your Growing Baby

Inside you is an innate wisdom that intuitively understands about the very natural process of birth. We help you reconnect with this wisdom, guiding you through a class specifically designed for the journey of pregnancy.  Linking yoga postures with the breath will lead you to new discoveries, bringing awareness to the mind, body and spirit, and also the spirit of your baby. The program, conducted in a calm, peaceful environment will help strengthen the uterus and pelvic muscles, improve circulation, aid in digestion, exercise the spine, relieve fatigue and tension and increase overall comfort. 

Yoga can also alleviate many of the discomforts of pregnancy such as nausea, constipation, swelling, back pain and sciatica. Breathing techniques will be practiced. This allows the chest to open and helps to improve circulation in both mother and baby, ensuring a better supply of oxygen to the blood.  It also calms the nerves and gives the mother greater control of her breathing during labor.  Prenatal yoga keeps the body healthy and flexible.  A safe, open community allows you to freely discuss any issues, from discomforts and concerns, to the wonderful new changes your body and baby are experiencing.
