PRENATAL YOGA: FRIDAY EVENINGS TIME TBA
Prenatal Yoga is used to help mothers connect better with their babies-to-be, stay healthy throughout pregnancy, and remain flexible and strong to prepare for the challenges of labor & birth. Prenatal Yoga includes poses, deep breathing, relaxation and meditation that may be practiced through all trimesters (clearing any medical issues with the care provider). Prenatal Yoga is a great way to connect with other mothers-to-be and establish friendships that go far beyond birth.
