Frequently Asked Questions

When can I practice prenatal yoga?
Prenatal yoga can be practiced at any stage of your pregnancy. Most moms in my class will join at the beginning of their second trimester and continue to practice right up until before giving birth.

Do I need any yoga props?
We do use a variety of yoga props in my class, but the good news in many of them can be found around your house. The only thing I recommend you buy is a pair of yoga blocks (foam will do but cork are best). Other than that we use blankets, cushions, chairs, and wall space. 

What if I give birth before the series ends?
You can transfer your classes to one of my mom and baby yoga series.

I took prenatal and postnatal 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!

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.
