mama's moving peace
prenatal Yoga
Yoga can be an amazing self-care practice throughout pregnancy that allows a women the space to sooth the mind, strengthen the body and connect with her community of fellow mama goddesses.
The beauty of a group practice is the connection to other mamas. The beauty of a personalized one-on-one practice is a completely individualized method crafted for the mama's needs and desires throughout her pregnancy.
With the clearance from your healthcare provider, prenatal yoga can be practiced whether or not you have ever done yoga before, and can be a time of true refuge and bonding for the mama and her growing baby.
