Prenatal & Mommy Classes
Prenatal Yoga uses postures, breathing, and meditation to help ease pregnancy, delivery, and the after effects of birth. The classes create strength, focus, flexibility and awareness through a gentle practice designed especially for the pregnant woman’s needs. Prenatal Yoga classes provide a safe, peaceful and supportive environment for expectant mothers and are a wonderful way to connect with other mothers-to-be. Yoga helps to alleviate many of the discomforts of pregnancy such as heartburn, nausea, constipation, varicose veins, swelling, back pain and sciatica. The classes are appropriate for both new and experienced students.
Discover this safe form of exercise that can be performed throughout your entire pregnancy. Because Pilates work engages your deepest core muscles, pelvic floor, hips and spine, you will develop muscle strength and memory that will help your body recover faster post-pregnancy all while enjoying the energy and support of a group class. Post-natal Pilates helps quicken the body’s recovery process, closing the diastasis and flattening the abs so that you will be back in your pre-pregnancy jeans in no time at all.
