"Before starting Yoga for Pregnancy, I wasn’t sure if it was for me but it quickly become something I looked forward to every week. It felt good to care for my body and I loved connecting with the other women. I feel more prepared for birth and I use the breathing practices in my daily life to help with stress."

Absolutely! With my Yoga for Pregnancy and Birth course, you never miss a class. My pre-recorded classes are a copy of the weekly in-person class, so you won’t miss out on your practice if you are absent and you can continue to practice at home.
