Pre-Natal Yoga Support, Relaxation, & Breath Awareness! |
Mondays, 4:30 – 6:00 pm
$55 for 4 classes used in 5 weeks, or $15 per class
No previous experience is required for this gentle, nurturing class. Pre-natal yoga practice helps develop strength, endurance, flexibility, relaxation and breath awareness- all key elements of a healthy, positive pregnancy and birth experience.
Our pre-natal classes have produced a wonderful crop of beautiful healthy babies, many of whom graduated into our "Baby & Me" yoga and infant massage class. Each mom had a different labor and birth experience, yet each would probably tell you that her yoga practice helped her to stay strong, calm, and focused during labor.
Tara Stivers, a certified doula (birth coach,) instructs this class, and provides valuable information about pregnancy, labor & delivery, and baby's homecoming.
Joining other women in varying stages of pregnancy, we support one another's physical and emotional needs, and prepare for the arrival of the new baby and added challenge of a new family member.
Begin anytime after 13 weeks, once your doctor gives you the okay to exercise. No need to register in advance, just join us for a Free first class!
Dear Tara,
Thank you for helping us welcome Sophie into the world. I’m
amazed at what my body can accomplish, and you helped me do it! Having you as
our doula really put our minds at ease. You were so in tune with giving me what
I needed when I needed it – whether it was going through some yoga poses or
rubbing my lower back. You were the perfect addition to our birth team! Thanks
so much for everything!
Warm Regards,
Dorothy, Dan, & Sophie Juniper Hanchey (born September 1,

Dear Audrey,
Just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful pre-natal
yoga classes. Your classes and relaxation techniques (especially the breathing)
contributed to my amazing 10 hour labor without medication. Your classes
provided such a warm, caring environment, with a strong sense of community.
Thank you for all your warmth, support and encouragement- your class contributed
to a truly empowering birth experience. I'm in awe of the birth experience, my
body's capabilities, and my beautiful new son. I can't wait to do it again!
