Join our community of practice for six weeks of prenatal yoga and mindfulness. Over the course of this series, you will learn a variety of movement, breath, and mindfulness techniques to support you physically, mentally, and emotionally. Classes are designed to cultivate a deeper connection to your body and baby, while also providing the opportunity to meet and practice alongside other expecting parents.
Each class includes mindfulness and meditation, breathing exercises, and a gentle flowing and restorative yoga sequence designed to support you and your baby. We will review poses to alleviate common pregnancy aches/pains as well as poses to proactively strengthen and stabilize your changing body throughout pregnancy. Classes start with a brief group check-in with the chance to ask questions, share, and connect with other expecting parents.
Participants receive:
Six 90-minute classes at GIVE yoga
A prenatal yoga practice guide with suggested poses for common pregnancy aches and pains
An overview of three breathing techniques to support labor and delivery
Four recorded guided meditations
Recommendations on essential oil use during pregnancy
Supplementary book and article recommendations to support your practice
FAQ’s:
When is the best time to take this series? This series is designed to be suitable at all stages of pregnancy. If you have been practicing yoga for a while and are enjoying taking your usual yoga classes, some women choose to do that and join in their second or third trimester when they are ready to slow things down; however, many feel most comfortable starting with a prenatal-specific class right away. There are usually women in class at all stages, some who take the series twice!
Do I need yoga experience? No. All levels of experience are welcome.
Can I still join if I missed the first class or have to miss a couple of the classes? Yes! This series can be joined late but can only be purchased as a series, at full cost.
Can I participate in this series more than once? Yes! You are more than welcome to take this series again and can do so at a reduced rate.
