Prenatal yoga strengthens the body for childbearing and helps in relieving the common discomforts of pregnancy. It also helps the expectant mother find the time and space to look within herself to openly explore her intrinsic knowledge about the birthing process.

Gentle yoga poses suitable for all stages of pregnancy increase the expectant mother's strength and flexibility to prepare for labor and delivery. Read about exercise and the reduced need for epidurals. Prenatal yoga taught by Dr. Sturm also offers a heightened awareness of breath and body and a feeling of deep relaxation.

Pregnancy-specific poses and exercises are taught as take-home tools that can be integrated into the expectant mother’s daily routine. These exercises offer her the ability to prepare her body and mind for labor beyond the realm of the yoga class, allowing her to be more actively involved in her unique process of labor preparation.

Pregnancy is a unique and wondrous time—a time of great transition and change. Let yoga guide you through the amazing process of creating new life!

Classes are held in the Varuna room at the Consulate Healing Center. Please call for more information on classes and workshops. One-on-one yoga sessions are available upon request.
