Prenatal Yoga is the perfect practice for mamas at every stage of pregnancy, from the first trimester to 40 weeks (and beyond!). Each class includes 50-60 minutes of prenatal yoga + discussion and information to support your pregnancy and birth journey. The practice places an emphasis on breath as a tool for pregnancy, birth and postpartum, and is both invigorating and gentle. Poses incorporated are intentionally chosen to create a strong, relaxed, and supportive body in pregnancy and to prepare the body and mind for birth.

Whether this is your first or your fourth baby, whether you choose to birth at the hospital, at home, or a birthing center, & whether your goal is an unmedicated water birth, scheduled c- section, VBAC, or anything in between, every birthing person deserves to feel empowered to choose the best path for them + their baby.

Join Emily Sustar, RPYT, RYT 500, & Birthing From Within mentor, & Kate Ailabouni, lactation nurse, for a comprehensive childbirth preparation course designed to empower both the birthing person and their partner. This course will cover the basics of birth; what happens in labor + delivery & postpartum, coping techniques, movement, breath, and strategies to add to your toolbox for the birth journey, mental and physical preparation for the parenthood transition, the 4th trimester, and breastfeeding / chestfeeding preparation + support.
