The ancient art of yoga, as modified for pregnancy, is a safe, effective way to exercise and prepare for labor and birthing. In addition, yoga helps with the common complaints of pregnancy, giving you more energy and increasing your overall sense of well-being. Yoga also teaches breathing and relaxation techniques that become a natural part of your response to stress. These techniques will aid you greatly during labor and birth, and also during your new life as a mother. Classes are on-going; you may join a class at any time. No previous yoga experience is required. Each session provides an opportunity for: gentle stretching, increasing body awareness, sharing tips and ideas for coping with labor and birth, and practicing relaxation techniques. Please wear comfortable clothing. Focus is on body awareness, increasing flexibility, endurance, and learning conscious training techniques.
