Prenatal Yoga

Prenatal Yoga is a great way to prepare for whatever kind of birth you are planning (and can help you cope if and when things don't go exactly as planned!). Practicing yoga during pregnancy can help you tune into your body and connect to your amazing little one as he/she grows. Learning to tune out distracting thoughts in the mind, focus, and breathe deeply will assist you greatly not only in the birthing process, but as you go through significant changes during the Pre and Postnatal periods. The peace and presence of mind that come with a steady practice of Yoga are invaluable as you prepare to become a mother. On the physical level, yoga during pregnancy increases circulation, strengthens muscles, and promotes greater flexibility. Consistently practicing yoga during and after pregnancy has also been shown to aid in the postpartum recovery period both on the physical and emotional level. Joining a prenatal yoga class also offers the opportunity to connect with other mothers-to-be in a supportive environment.
