Practicing yoga strengthens and prepares your mind and body for labour and motherhood; practicing to control your mind via breath and movement is an invaluable tool in managing the intensity of labour and well, life as a parent.
A Prenatal yoga practice is different from a Yoga practice. The classes that I teach focus on moving your body safely to prepare for labour and birth. My teaching is rooted in Hatha yoga, but I believe strongly in functional movement. I draw from a background of Hatha, Vinyasa, and Kundalini yoga.
In my class there is an emphasis on balance, breath, stillness, and strength (of body and mind). As a doula trained in Spinning Babies methodology I also believe that balancing the pelvis is key for labour. So we will develop balance and an awareness of your pelvic floor. lastly I introduce comfort measures and positions that may be useful in labour.
Looking forward to seeing you in class!

What does a Prenatal class with me look like?
- We open with a group check in; you let me know how your body is feeling and what you’d like to stretch and move. Everybody gets a chance to share.
- Relaxation: 5-10 minutes of breathing and visualization.
- Movement: starting with a slow full body warm up, and then into some more active movement with longer holds and stretches. Then slowing down with some passive stretching.
- Relaxation: 10 minute resting state. A chance to integrate all that you’ve done and take stillness to rejuvenate.
