Pregnancy Yoga

Yoga during pregnancy can prevent and ease many pregnancy related discomforts.

Anne will travel up to 45 minutes from her home in Suffern, NY. If you'd like for her to travel farther, please e-mail info@homesweethomebirth.com for pricing.

Regular yoga practice has been shown to increase stamina and endurance. It creates space, strength, agility and stamina for active natural birthing.

During your classes with holistic midwife Anne, you will learn breathing, visualization and meditative techniques for creating inner calm and focus, and tools to cope with the sensations of labor and birth.

In our modern world, many pregnant women are bombarded with external stress; your yoga classes will help you relax and connect with yourself and your baby.

Women who practice yoga throughout their pregnancies report easier labors and smoother postpartum recoveries.

Yoga practice gives baby the delicious biochemical hormones and feelings of relaxation, relieving the toxic effects of inner stress and angst.

Yoga during pregnancy improves neurodevelopment in the womb, newborn and even into early childhood - positively enhancing the mental and emotional health of future generations.

Regular yoga practice prepares you for an empowered pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. This leads to optimum health and well-being throughout your childbirth journey and beyond.

The prenatal yoga classes include mindful Hatha, Iyengar and Restorative practices. They are available on Skype, or in-person private or small group classes in your home or my cozy home space. They are ideal for mamas who don't want or can't get to a yoga studio class, and would love more individualized assistance, guidance and an intimate connection with a teacher not available on DVD or online classes. It is like having your own personal midwife -yoga coach!

*All yoga techniques are modified for pregnancy to make your classes safe for you and your baby*

Classes include access to closed Home Sweet Homebirth Support Group and Community on Facebook.
