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.
