PRENATAL  | POSTNATAL ​|  ​PRIVATE SESSIONS
Yoga is one of the only activities I know that allows you to relax and unwind, while building muscular strength and releasing tension in the joints all at the same time! When practiced regularly and with intention yoga has the ability to transform your life on a physical, emotional and even spiritual level. Over ten years of personal practice and five years of teaching I have personally experienced this transformation and have witnessed it in a number of my students. Yoga has the power to heal.

Whether you are a long time yogi or if you have no experience at all, I can guide you through your yoga practice. My warm and authentic approach creates a balance between yang (energizing) and yin (relaxing), and my clear instructions make my classes accessible to all. I like to combine pranayama (breathing techniques), asana (postures), and visualizations so that you will feel balanced and grounded, and like you’re floating away on a cloud...

Prenatal Yoga

Every pregnant person should practice prenatal yoga. Yoga is one of the activities obstetricians and midwives suggest starting during pregnancy! Why? Because yoga can help you cope with the physical and emotional changes you will experience throughout pregnancy, and it can also prepare both your body AND mind for birth. An added bonus of group classes is that it can be really comforting to connect with other women that are on a similar path.

In her book “The Birth Partner”, Penny Simkin says “Coping well with the pain and indeterminate length of labor involves the use of the Three Rs: relaxation, rhythms and ritual”.  A consistent yoga practice throughout pregnancy gives you an opportunity to practice all three. By learning to strengthen the connection between your mind, body and breath you will feel more prepared and confident in your ability to cope with the challenges that birth will present.  

The advantage of choosing to practice prenatal yoga with me, specifically, is that I am also a birth doula. I bring an additional element of prenatal education to all my classes in the discussions we have prior to our physical practice. I am also always available to answer personal questions before and after class. If you are considering hiring a doula for your birth, my yoga classes are a great venue for us to get to know each other and build a special bond that will carry through to your birth. 
I took prenatal yoga classes with Lauren and at every class, I had an amazing time! They are the perfect balance between challenging and gentle, while being particularly educational. Lauren's positive energy, her advice and her ability to listen felt like a gift, one that I took with me through labor and even beyond my birth experience. I can’t wait to practice with her again, with baby!

Postnatal Yoga

Postnatal yoga can be started at any point postpartum but I highly recommend waiting until your baby is at least 6 weeks old. Postnatal yoga brings many benefits on multiple levels. One of the biggest motivating factors for women to attend a yoga class with their baby is to get out of the house (where there are often feelings of isolation) and connect with other moms in a safe and supportive environment. My postnatal classes always begin with a short discussion on a topic relating to our Motherhood journey. On a physical level, postnatal yoga teaches you how to safely rebuild your core strength. Pregnancy and birth can be very hard on the body and many women find themselves with aches and pains in new places from the day to day strain of holding, feeding, and playing with their baby. Postnatal yoga offers an opportunity to strengthen, stretch and relax; activities which you probably don’t get a chance to do very often as a new mother. An added bonus to postnatal yoga is that your baby also benefits from this practice. As cranky as they may be at home, babies often thrive in a new environment with other little people to look at. Postnatal yoga is focused mainly on moms, but we also do some fun, bonding activities that bring so much joy to both mom and baby!
