Online Prenatal Yoga | Fridays 8:30 AM
New sessions begin February 16, 2025
Part yoga class, part birth education, part inner work session.
Prenatal Yoga is one of the best modalities for an easier birth. GroundWork Birth provides labor preparation, strengthening, stretching, and breathing to support you in your pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum time. Prenatal yoga has been linked to better birth weight, less pain during labor, and optimal blood pressure levels.
We will explore yoga poses for the pregnant and non-pregnant body, breathing practices for mental and physical regulation, supportive postures for labor, and coping strategies for both individuals.
You will have the opportunity to reconnect to yourselves as individuals as well as partners, couples, or pregnancy support people. This is a unique way to find grounding and spend time with your partner or birth support person during your pregnancy journey.
Join solo or with your support person!
Prenatal Yoga Sessions Include:
Breath connection: Nervous system regulation, coping strategies for labor, connection to self and baby(ies)
Pelvic floor balance: Relaxation, strengthening, stability
Hip and pelvis movement: Optimal positions for labor stages and birth, creating openness throughout the whole body
Space to understand your own internal language to foster deep trust and intuition
Movement for optimal baby positioning
Postnatal Yoga
New Postnatal Yoga Classes beginning Spring 2025
Once you’ve taken time to rest and heal from your birth join me for group or private movement support. I give individualized support for a wide range of postnatal issues.
If you are planning, or already working with, a pelvic floor physical therapist this is a great way to stay motivated and focused on healing and stabilizing your mind, body, and spirit.
Do you have a mommy group or circle of new-parent friends who may want to do a class together? We can work in-person or online and keep the energy of your circle strong as you come back to physical movement together.
