Practicing yoga during pregnancy prepares the mind and body for a more functional birth and journey into parenthood. Classes are specifically designed for you and your changing body and appropriate for all trimesters, preconception and into parenthood, regardless of your previous yoga experience. Beginners are welcome. Classes combine traditional yoga poses and breath practices with creative movement and restorative postures to alleviate common aches and pains, introduce coping tools for birth, and inspire a sense of empowerment in this great transition. We offer a space to explore yourself and to connect with your baby and others on the same journey. Those looking for a gentle and safe space to reconnect with their body and their mat after birth are welcome too.
Led by Shelley Jones, mama of two and RYT-500. Shelley credits yoga with helping to make her transitions from pregnancy through birth and into motherhood easeful, though not easy. Now she shares the gift of yoga with her sons, while realizing the power of her own personal practice in supporting her as a mother. In addition to her adult classes, including prenatal and postnatal classes and workshops, Shelley loves to teach kids’ yoga. She is forever a student and has trained in prenatal yoga and pre- and postnatal Ayurveda with Brooks Haislip, Jessica Jennings, and Cate Stillman. Her most recent training was an 85-hour prenatal certification with Deb Flashenberg and Caprice Abowitt of the Prenatal Yoga Center in New York City.
