Prenatal Yoga is an amazing way to prepare your body and mind for labor and motherhood while relieving many pains and discomforts of pregnancy. Our prenatal classes are beneficial for both those new to yoga and experienced yoga practitioners during this special time. Teachers offer safe modifications of standard yoga postures that will strengthen the muscles that support a growing belly and changing body, improve circulation and digestion, strengthen uterus and pelvic muscles, and help prepare a woman physically and mentally for the challenge of labor. Yoga can also alleviate many of the discomforts of pregnancy such as varicose veins, swelling, constipation, back pain and sciatica. 

 

Ease your mind and connect with your baby in a safe and supportive environment. Feel inspired and nourished in a community of women sharing motherhood.

Devotion yoga instructors are specially trained and certified to teach the most current yoga techniques during pregnancy and birth. The information you receive and the experience you share with other mothers will bring a new perspective to this special time in your life.

 

 

DEVOTION YOGA'S PRENATAL POLICY

• All Prenatal students must obtain doctor verbal approval for participating in prenatal yoga before attending any classes at Devotion Yoga while pregnant. (no doctor note needed)

 

• Devotion Yoga does not recommend pregnant women participate in non-prenatal yoga classes and does not allow prenatal women to attend any advanced or vigorous classes.

 

• Students who do not have a consistent yoga practice or are new to yoga may only attend prenatal classes at Devotion Yoga while pregnant. A consistent practice is defined as at least three classes per week.

 

• Pregnant students who have a consistent existing yoga practice must take at least 3 prenatal classes before attending a non-prenatal class at Devotion Yoga to learn modifications and contraindications. They can only attend non-prenatal classes that are taught by trained prenatal instructors and are considered “approved” classes. These classes are indicated with a "P" on our paper yoga schedule. Please speak to the front desk staff if you have any questions about which classes are appropriate.

 

• If a pregnant student does take a non-prenatal class, she is responsible for notifying the teacher of her pregnancy, health and due date BEFORE the start of class.
