BENEFITS OF PRENATAL YOGA

​

A prenatal yoga class can offer you a quiet respite to slow down, connect with your baby and honor the changes of your pregnancy. Students move mindfully through modified yoga postures, restorative poses, practice breath-work, pelvic-floor exercises and explore a variety of relaxation techniques.

​

In combination these techniques will help to strengthen and tone the body, alleviate discomforts ad prepare you for your labor and birth.
