BENEFITS of YOGA for PREGNANCY
Yoga is an excellent supplement to routine prenatal care and is a healthful choice to nurture mother and baby.  Yoga postures support and strengthen the physical body while breathing techniques quiet the mind and draw attention to the ever-growing mother-child connection.  The pregnant woman will enjoy classes devoted to her unique needs as she develops mindfulness, strength and confidence to approach the challenges of pregnancy and childbirth.

THE YOGA PRACTICE
Customized to the needs of each student, classes are open to women in all trimesters of pregnancy.  The yoga practice tends to serve the whole body and is appropriate for all skill levels.  Classes balance the development of strength and endurance with generous time for stretching and relaxation.  Instructors ensure that poses and breath work are appropriate for pregnancy and emphasize the use of props and modifications to accommodate the pregnant body.  Students are encouraged to bring a mat, beach towel, and bottle of water to each class.
