MAMA & PAPA PRE-NATAL YOGA/BIRTH WORKSHOP
Starting May 2nd, every Saturday in May; 12-1:30pm

Details:
This movement workshop is a five- week pre-natal yoga/birth series for expecting parents. We will help you and your partner reconnect with your body, guiding you through a class specifically designed for the journey of pregnancy and birth. 

Linking yoga postures with the breath will lead you and your partner to new discoveries, bringing awareness to the mind, body and spirit, and also the spirit of your baby. The program, conducted in a calm, peaceful environment will help strengthen the uterus and pelvic muscles, improve circulation, aid in digestion, exercise the spine and increase overall comfort. Yoga can also alleviate many of the discomforts of pregnancy such as nausea, constipation, varicose veins, swelling, back pain and sciatica.

The knowledge of a doula will help you and your partner prepare for your birth. You will learn new visualization skills, massage and techniques, breathing exercises, and basic aromatherapy for pregnancy. This workshop will give you healthy tools to continue to enjoy the changing roles of your relationship and help you create your own daily relaxation practice for you and your baby.

Each five-week session will include a pre-natal yoga class, materials, relaxation exercises, music, and a support system through your next steps as parents.
