| Prenatal Yoga
6 week Series led by Latham Thomas
2010 Fall Series begins Saturday, September 11th thru October 30th 12:30 - 2:00pm click here to begin your registration
The BENEFITS of regularly attending a prenatal yoga class during pregnancy are truly inspiring. In our classes we teach yoga poses specific to making you more comfortable in your pregnancy—strengthening muscles for better posture, flexibility and a stronger body, as well as stretching muscles to relieve aches, and release tension.
These classes will also help to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles to facilitate labor, improve circulation, aid in digestion, and exercise the spine. The resulting body awareness will help you feel more connected and in tune with you ever-changing body.
Through the poses, breath-work, discussion of alternative birthing positions and relaxation techniques you will feel more confident in your body and mind to handle the challenges of labor and delivery. Regular attendance assures that you will consistently practice these exercises for greater benefits, as well as build a community of support through meeting and connecting with other mothers-to-be. Give yourself and your baby the gift of relaxation, calm and confidence in the body and mind….
Beneficial at Any Stage of Pregnancy.
No Previous Experience Necessary. (Beginners to Yoga Most Welcome)
Dates: Saturdays September 11th thru October 30th, 2010
