Prenatal Yoga Testimonials

  • I have had a very easy pregnancy and I honestly believe that taking the prenatal yoga class with Lauren from the second trimester until the very end played a big part in me feeling so great throughout. I also took her Stronger together workshop with my partner and it really helped us be better prepared for the baby’s arrival, giving us practical tips as well as encouraging us to have important conversations. All in all, Lauren is a very warm, kind and positive person: that’s definitly the kind of energy you want to surround yourself with when you are in that important stage of your life!

Prenatal Yoga

Every pregnant person can benefit from practicing prenatal yoga.

Yoga is one of the activities obstetricians and midwives suggest starting during pregnancy! Why? Because yoga can help you cope with the physical and emotional changes you will experience throughout pregnancy, and it can also prepare both your body AND mind for birth. An added bonus of group classes is that it can be really comforting to connect with other women that are on a similar path.

In her book “The Birth Partner”, Penny Simkin says “Coping well with the pain and indeterminate length of labor involves the use of the Three Rs: relaxation, rhythms and ritual”.  A consistent yoga practice throughout pregnancy gives you an opportunity to practice all three. By learning to strengthen the connection between your mind, body and breath you will feel more prepared and confident in your ability to cope with the challenges that birth will present.  

The advantage of choosing to practice prenatal yoga with me, specifically, is that I am also a birth doula. I bring an additional element of prenatal education to all my classes in the discussions we have prior to our physical practice. I am also always available to answer personal questions before and after class. If you are considering hiring a doula for your birth, my yoga classes are a great venue for us to get to know each other and build a special bond that will carry through to your birth. 

FAQ

When can I practice prenatal yoga?

Prenatal yoga can be practiced at any stage of your pregnancy. Most moms in my class will join at the beginning of their second trimester and continue to practice right up until before giving birth.

Do I need props to practice prenatal yoga?

We do use a variety of yoga props in my class, but the good news in many of them can be found around your house. The only thing I recommend you buy is a pair of yoga blocks (foam will do but cork are best). Other than that we use blankets, cushions, chairs, and wall space.
