When you first learn about your pregnancy, one of your immediate concerns might be how to stay physically active in a safe, helpful, and accessible way. Yoga is often recommended for these reasons, but there are many different types of yoga, so where do you begin? I highly recommend a specialized prenatal yoga class with a trained and experienced teacher.

Here are some reasons why:

• Learn breathing techniques and pranayama to support and ease physiological, anatomical and emotional changes. 
• Dedicated time to focus on the experience of pregnancy. 
• Find empowerment, confidence and access to inner strength for the journey ahead.
• Build a community with other expecting Mothers.
• Learn how to safely move to prevent injury and gain strength, stability and flexibility. 
• Learn how to use props effectively to support your physical body during practice.
• Breathe through expectations and fear.
• Exposure to birthing positions.
• Learn about physical changes through yoga asana (postures) and movement.
• Alleviate specific and general aches and pains.
