- Increase the strength, flexibility and endurance of muscles needed for childbirth
- Decrease lower back pain, nausea, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches and shortness of breath
Prenatal yoga can also help you meet and bond with other pregnant women, building friendships and sharing in the experience of pregnancy and childbirth.

What We’ll Cover:
Barre Foundations & Alignment
Learn the core postural principles that make Barre both safe and effective. We’ll explore neutral spine, proper hip alignment, scapular stability, and how to engage the deep core throughout class.

Experience step-by-step instruction on lower-body work, including thigh series, glute and seat activation, and calf strengthening. You'll learn how to work with precision, small ranges of motion, and intentional muscle engagement to feel the “Barre burn.”
Upper Body & Core Essentials
We’ll break down Barre-style arm sequences using light weights and controlled movement, followed by foundational core exercises to help you build stability, stamina, and endurance.
Modifications & Progressions
