Prenatal Yoga Chakras

"To be pregnant

is to be vitally alive,

thoroughly woman

and

distressingly inhabited.

Soul and spirit are stretched

-along with the body-

making pregnancy a time of

transition, growth,

and

profound beginnings."

-Anne Christian Buchanan

Yoga is an ancient practice

of unifying

the mind, body, and spirit

to find

deep inner peace.

Prenatal Yoga

is a tool for embracing

Pregnancy, Labor, and Postpartum.

It is different from other styles

as it focuses on

slow transitions between

postures,

restorative options,

and the use of props

to support conditions

and

concerns that are

specific to pregnancy.

Nurturing self-care is an essential part of a healthy pregnancy.

Prenatal yoga can help prepare body and mind

for childbirth. 

The prenatal yoga postures are specially

designed to build flexibility and openness so you can open when the time comes

to birth your baby. Birthing a baby requires both great effort and the ability

to totally let go. We cultivate a balance of effort and surrender on the yoga

mat so we can take it into labor and birth.

Prenatal yoga promotes baby awareness. 

In the practice of yoga, you have the

opportunity to acknowledge the presence of your baby, not as a package that

will arrive at some future date, but as a being that is here now. Yoga allows space to sit in the present moment,

with yourself as well as with your baby.
