YOGA FOR MOTHERHOOD
YOGA FOR MOTHERHOOD: PRENATAL, POST-NATAL AND BEYOND is our class designed for expectant mothers. While it is fine-tuned to be prenatal friendly, it is for prenatal, post-natal, and BEYOND! This inclusive, non-heated class brings a community together to share, connect, and recharge. It is crafted to soothe both body and mind, relieving the discomforts pregnancy can present while building strength, flexibility, and endurance that support you in every stage of your life. Learn focused breathing techniques to center yourself during pregnancy, birth, and even those high-energy parenting moments! Strengthen your pelvic floor to enhance a healthy pregnancy, support labor, and nurture recovery at any stage post-birth.
No experience is required; all are welcome to explore their prenatal, post-natal, and beyond motherhood journey! Our compassionate Motherhood teachers specialize in prenatal and motherhood-focused yoga, offering knowledgeable support wherever you are.

New to Yoga?
Welcome! Our Breakdown Flow, Power Flow I, and Restorative classes are designed for beginners. These sessions move slower and break down each pose to help you feel comfortable. If you’re looking for a gentle introduction to heated yoga, try a WARM class. The heat stays low, allowing you to focus on building your practice without added intensity.
About Heated Classes
Why HEATED Yoga?
Heated yoga elevates your practice by enhancing both physical and mental benefits. Practicing in a warm environment speeds up metabolism, helping your body burn fat more efficiently and increasing calorie expenditure. The heat causes capillaries to dilate, improving blood flow and effectively oxygenating muscles, organs, and glands. This helps remove waste products while boosting peripheral circulation for improved limb function. Additionally, heated yoga supports cardiovascular health and enhances immune function by promoting T-cell activity, making it a full-body workout that strengthens and revitalizes.
Disclaimer:
Always consult your doctor before beginning any new exercise program, including heated yoga. Your health and safety are important; a healthcare professional can help determine if this practice is right for you.
What Should I Wear?
For heated yoga, comfort and breathability are key.
Here’s what we recommend:
Light, Moisture-Wicking Clothing: Wear form-fitting tops and bottoms made of breathable, moisture-wicking fabric to help keep you cool. Avoid baggy clothing, as it can trap heat and get in the way of your movements.
Tank Tops and Shorts or Leggings: Tank tops and shorts are ideal for heated classes, but if you prefer, lightweight leggings also work well.
Hair Ties or Headbands: If you have long hair, secure it with a tie or headband to keep it out of your face.
Avoid Heavy Fabrics: Steer clear of thick fabrics like cotton, as they can absorb sweat and feel heavy.
Remember, you’ll be moving and sweating, so choose clothing that lets you focus fully on your practice
What Should I Bring?
You’ll need a mat, a large towel for your mat, a hand towel, and plenty of water. Be sure to wear comfortable, breathable clothing—you will sweat! Please note we practice barefoot.
