Yoga Sādhanā: Safe While Pregnant ~ A 4 week Series! This 4 week series commences on May 10th, & runs consecutively every Wednesday until May 31st from 9am-1030am. Join me for a 4 week exploration of yoga asana & pregnancy! Every Wednesday in May, 2023 from 9a-10:30a starting on May 10th, we will meet, sip on pregnancy tea while learning how to safely navigate our yoga practice during this exciting time, as well as pertinent childbirth education targeting each trimester & postpartum. This unique prenatal yoga class series will go beyond the simple modification of yoga poses. In addition to a yoga flow, these prenatal classes seamlessly integrate childbirth education, breath work & meditation. This empowers & prepares you for the different trimesters of pregnancy & postpartum in a very digestible, non-intimidating way. We will cultivate & celebrate community, sisterhood & create a supportive & empowering circle of strong & capable women! In addition to learning how to care for & support your changing body with yoga asana, there will be short 15 minute lectures during this 90 min practice, to help promote education for each trimester as well as postpartum (refer to the schedule below).  You will then be guided through a 45 min yoga class including breath work to help improve circulation of oxygen in the blood which helps both you & your baby, in addition to relaxing you & reducing stress. You will end with a restorative 15 min guided meditation (last class will be a sound bath!) to visualize & manifest the most optimal outcome for this journey! These four 90 min practices will help make your pregnancy as comfortable as possible by addressing many aches, pains & common discomforts in your changing body. Each class will include poses that bring balance & alignment to the body as students explore poses that allow for safety, autonomy & sovereignty. This will not only empower you but will also encourage your baby into the most optimal position for birth. You will finish this series with a deeper knowledge of each trimester, be educated on options for how to continue/support/modify your yoga practice, be mindful of various cautions as you move through pregnancy while gaining awareness of your body & what you need, all the while cultivating connection with community & other women. Within each class we will sip on pregnancy tea, nourish ourselves with light snacks, learn, grow, evolve & come together in community & motherhood. This mindful exploration of yoga poses, breath work, meditation & education will leave you feeling more prepared for whatever lies ahead in your pregnancy, birth, & beyond!
