These classes are designed to help you:
Yoga exercises and breathing techniques can ease the course of your pregnancy, labor and delivery. The conditioning that yoga gives also allows you to recover quickly after the delivery.
The exercises are safe and gentle. Classes are small to allow maximum individual attention. For the greatest benefit, begin your yoga program early in your pregnancy . . . . for you and your baby.
THIS CLASS IS UNIQUE!
The typical prenatal yoga class just adapts yoga class postures for the pregnant woman. The prenatal yoga classes offered by Stress Management Resources are much more than that!
In addition to yoga, every class has discussions about pregnancy issues personalized for your particular needs, if you wish that.
Each class includes a birth story from a woman who previously took the class so you become familiar with a whole range of labor & birth experiences. You also have time to get to know and learn from others in the class as well as the instructor.
In addition, you learn breathing techniques and postures which help during labor and yoga poses which can help relieve the discomforts of pregnancy.
These classes are a time to relax and enjoy yourself, learn about pregnancy and labor, meet other pregnant women, bond with your growing baby, and prepare for birth. They are much more than a simple yoga class; they are a holistic prenatal yoga experience which every participant loves. You will too!

Classes are taught assuming new students are in each class, so you may start these classes at any time during the series. Simply come 15 minutes early to your first class. A series is offered to give a price discount to those who pay in advance. See the registration form for the dates of the next series. We encourage you to begin your prenatal yoga classes now (rather than wait for the start of the next series) so that you can begin experiencing the physical and emotional benefits right away. |
