Prenatal Yoga Classes
Offering group or private classes and the Labor Preparation Workshop for Couples
Make pregnancy more joyful and comfortable and prepare for childbirth with gentle postures, breath work, vocal toning, and meditation. This class is an ideal practice to maintain the health and connection between your mind, body, and baby. No yoga experience is necessary!

your baby

- use vocal toning to surround your baby with the soothing sound of your own voice, a practice they will remember and appreciate after their birth as well
- create a nourishing womb environment through relaxation and gentle asanas
other pregnant women
