Prenatal Yoga

Pregnancy brings physical and emotional change, often accompanied by a mix of excitement and anxiety. Prenatal yoga offers a gentle yet powerful way to navigate this journey, serving as a mindful practice that can support you long after your baby arrives. It’s a wonderful starting point for a lifelong yoga practice, offering benefits that include:

  • Preparing your body for birth: Poses are specifically designed to increase strength, flexibility, and endurance in the muscles needed for labor and delivery.

  • Strengthening your core and pelvic floor: This focus helps to support your growing body during pregnancy and promotes a stronger, faster recovery postpartum.

  • Cultivating a powerful breathwork practice: You will learn and refine breathing techniques that can be used to manage discomfort, calm your mind, and focus during labor.

  • Deepening the connection with your baby: This dedicated time on the mat provides a unique opportunity to bond with your baby, celebrating the life growing within you.

  • Building a supportive community: Classes offer a welcoming space to connect with other expectant mothers, share experiences, and build a lasting support system.

Postpartum Yoga

Early motherhood is a profound and often overwhelming journey, placing immense demands on both the body and mind. Amidst this whirlwind, postpartum yoga emerges as a vital practice, offering a sanctuary for healing and self-discovery. It is a dedicated time to:

  • Provide a calm and safe space: The hormonal landscape after birth can feel like a rollercoaster. Yoga creates a gentle, non-judgmental environment to navigate these powerful fluctuations, allowing new mothers to simply be, without pressure or expectation.

  • Reconnect breath and body: Postpartum yoga is a powerful tool for reintegration, gently bringing the body and mind back into a unified, harmonious whole through mindful movement and intentional breathing.

  • Support the monumental shift in identity: The transition into motherhood represents one of life's most significant shifts. This practice offers a supportive framework to honor this new self, helping to integrate the past while embracing the present and future with grace and strength.

  • Offer important time for new moms to be on their own: In a period dominated by a baby's needs, carving out time for oneself is not a luxury—it's a necessity. Postpartum yoga provides a crucial opportunity for a new mother to step away, reconnect with her own inner landscape, and find a sense of peace and autonomy.

  • YES! Pregnancy and new motherhood are common entry points to yoga. This is the perfect time to start a practice. No prior yoga experience is required.

  • As soon as you feel comfortable. We welcome all trimesters and meet each yogi where they are on their weekly journey.

  • It is best to wait until you are cleared by your care-provider (usually 6 weeks) and when you feel ready to return to gentle movement. There is no time limit for postpartum yoga.
