TESTIMONIALS
What People Say
​
People often ask me how yoga can benefit their lives or their babies lives. As an active yogi on my mat I can truly say everything. I remember specifically remembering to breath when I was in labor and being able to ground myself to keep going.  Read about the importance of yoga through these testimonials.
I love how knowledgeable they are with modifications for the prenatal body. There is also a wonderful community feel which is so needed in early motherhood.
Amy
Prenata yoga classes were always what I needed. I love their ability to explain how my body was changing and why I needed to more the way I was to prepare for birth.
Annie
These classes are a perfect way to keep e moving throughout pregnancy. Everything I learned in class was a huge help during labor. I look forward to participating again.
