Please eat a light snack at least one hour before class to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Herbal tea and filtered water are also available for you in the clinic.

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF YOGA MOMS
Community:
We start each class with “circle time,” where students introduce themselves, say how far along they are, and discuss any aches and pains they would like to address in class. Pregnancy and postpartum periods carry enormous physical and emotional changes; this bonding time creates a springboard for long-lasting friendships among students.
Physical Comfort:
Christine is a trained yoga instructor and educated midwife who has created a yoga practice that caters to the anatomical, hormonal, and muscular changes that occur normally in the pregnant body by creating sequences that lessen discomfort, so students feel better after each class. Classes also prepare the mother both physically (specifically with a focus on proper pelvic alignment) and mentally for birth whether that be medicated, natural, or cesarean.
