Prenatal
Yoga uses postures, breathing, and meditation from both the Hatha and
Kundalini Yoga traditions to help ease pregnancy, delivery and the after
effects of birth. The classes create flexibility, focus, strength, and awareness
through a gentle practice that is designed especially for the pregnant woman's
needs. Prenatal Yoga classes provide a safe and supportive environment for
expectant mothers and are a wonderful way to connect with other mothers-to-be.
The classes are appropriate for both new and experienced yoga students.

Getting
Started
All Prenatal Yoga classes are appropriate for beginning students as well
as experienced students. Please let your teacher know about any health
concerns or injuries that could effect your yoga practice.
Prenatal Yoga classes are held at each of our four locations. Because
Prenatal Yoga classes draw from various yoga traditions, it is helpful
to try different classes and teachers to find which is the best fit for
you. Arrive 10-15 minutes before the start of your first class so that
you can check in at the front desk and get registered if you are a new
student. Wear clothes that are comfortable and that you can move and breathe
easily in. Many women like to wear loose fitting pants (such as pajama
style pants), exercise pants, or leggings with a t-shirt. Yoga is done
with bare feet so leave your shoes in the shoe shelf by our front entrance.
You may like to bring
a yoga mat with you to class as some Prenatal Yoga classes are held in
rooms with hard wood floors. (Yoga mats are available free for first-time
students to use. After that, you may rent a mat for $1 per class or bring
your own mat.) If your class is held in a room with a carpeted floor,
a yoga mat is not necessary but you are welcome to use one if you like.
Blankets, pillows, and bolsters (wide, support pillows) are provided in
all yoga rooms and you are welcome to use any of these items.
