Whole Birth® Prenatal Yoga & Support Class

Because we can not think our way through labor, prenatal yoga is a perfect way to drop beneath the thinking mind and into the body/mind to prepare for birth. Whole Birth Yoga teaches us to listen deeply to and trust in our body's innate birthing wisdom.

Yoga poses are taught with an emphasis on mindfulness for increasing breath and body awareness, learning pain management, prenatal bonding, deep relaxation and working with one's edges.

Many of the common discomforts experienced during pregnancy are relieved through the practice of Whole Birth® Yoga. Low back and sciatic pain, insomnia, and swelling have responded well to regular practice.

In the Whole Birth® Yoga class, ample time is given for support and the sharing of what's joyful and what's difficult about being pregnant. Discussion's are rich, genuine and informative.

Whole Birth® Yoga was developed by Robin Sale, Director of Whole Birth® Resources. Visit her website for wonderful articles, teacher trainings, national teacher directory, and more. http://www.wholebirthresources.com
