It is such an honor to teach prenatal yoga! As one of my teachers always quoted, “The seat of the teacher is of service.”  In the spirit of a doula, midwife, loving doctor, the prenatal teacher offers ahimsa, the first Yama which means compassion, to her students.  My current class description reads:

“An optional (though recommended) 15-minute community time builds a supportive class atmosphere and discusses the ebbs and flows of the pregnancy journey week to week and starts a 60 minute accessible yoga class for all stages of pregnancy where moms choose the best of many options for each pose and practice.  Strength building and stability poses custom for expectant mothers are utilized to help “Mother the mother.”  Moms will also learn breathing and meditation practices for labor, postpartum, and their lifetime mothering journey.  Questions are encouraged and welcome.  Class ends with a restorative savasana.  Appropriate for all stages of pregnancy and movement levels-all are very welcome!”
