Prenatal Yoga

I'm a mom, and prenatal yoga accompanied me throughout my pregnancies. It’s safe to say: I’ve personally experienced the transformative and healing benefits of perinatal yoga, such as reduced anxiety, increased endurance, and better circulation. While pregnant, yoga kept me grounded; it connected me to my breath, and my mind to my body. After birth & delivery, yoga gave me a sense of ownership over my changing body.

Now, I have the honor of offering prenatal yoga to others. Check here for my upcoming prenatal yoga workshops. If group yoga isn't your thing, then book a private session! Pregnancy is unpredictable; your energy levels and body change daily. Private sessions are a great way to customize a yoga practice to your changing needs, at the convenience of your own home and evolving schedule.
