Why Prenatal Yoga?

Yoga is an excellent way to "train" for the marathon of labor and motherhood. Practicing Yoga in pregnancy helps to strengthen and stretch muscles, release tension and maintain good posture. Prenatal yoga also teaches you to relax on command and keep a positive outlook while clearing the mind of the stresses associated with pregnancy and motherhood.

There are many benefits in attending a prenatal yoga class during pregnancy, benefits that are far beyond what you can receive in a regular yoga class. In our classes we teach yoga exercises that help prepare you for labor, delivery and motherhood as well as breathing techniques you can use in labor. Regular attendance assures that you will consistently practice these exercises for greater benefits.

When can I begin attending class?

Our classes are open to pregnant women in their 2nd and 3rd trimesters. We recommend that women take it easy the first 12 weeks of their pregnancy and allow their body that time to become accustomed to the changes of pregnancy. Beginners are welcome, no previous yoga experience is required.

If you practiced yoga before becoming pregnant this does not mean you have to stop your practice all together. Check out our information on yoga for the first trimester for guidelines in modifying your practice.

Program Safety:

Our Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga program conforms with the safety guidelines of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) for exercise during and after pregnancy. The program also meets the prenatal fitness standards of reputable fitness organizations such as AFAA and AFPA. You can be sure that our instructors will offer safe postures and adjustments suited to your body and your pregnancy.

Teacher Training:

We offer a prenatal yoga teacher training course for Registered Yoga Teachers who want to become licensed in our method of teaching prenatal yoga. All of our teachers are Licensed in the Mamaste Yoga method and follow our guidelines in their classes. Check out our Teacher Directory to find a class in your area.

Mother's Den was designed with a birthing mother's comfort in mind. Mother's Den is nestled on almost an acre of land at the base of Sunrise Mountain. The 3000 sqare foot house has a spa like atmosphere and is certain to make you feel welcome, safe and special.

Mother's Den has all of the amenities of home and so much more. Looking around you would never guess that all of the equipment and supplies ready for any situation are neatly tucked away in the rare event they are needed. Warm, cozy, natural colors cover the walls and floors. Soft furniture will invite you to gather and share birth stories and advice.

Help yourself to the growing library. Borrow books and lend books. The best way to decrease fear of the unknown is to become educated. Knowledge is power.

On the ground floor of Mother's Den you will experience completely private prenatal visits in the office and afterwards you can mingle with other mothers in the living areas or attend scheduled classes.

Upstairs in your private, spacious birth room you canchoose to labor in the birth tub. Or,if you prefer, walk around the house, rock in the rocking chair, use the birth ball, cook in the kitchen, take a long hot shower, nap with your significant other, or watch movies. It is expected and encouraged that you see and treat Mother's Den as your home. Our goal is to make you feel safe, nurtured and cared for - the kind of environment that allows you to labor and birth freely, without inhibition or fear.

Projects underway:

* Back yard: japanese garden, lap pool with wet deck, jacuzzi, outdoor kitchen, outdoor firepit.

* Fitness Center: weights, mats, treadmill and prenatal yoga space.
