About Empowered Pregnancy & Birth's Prenatal Yoga
Just like labor is unique to each birthing person, every person's yoga practice looks different. I am here to guide your movements, and you will learn to listen to your body and follow its lead just as you will in labor.
Each class in a 6-week virtual series begins with 30 minutes of community connection and education centered around various childbearing topics. After this time, the focus turns to connecting with your body, baby, and breath. Each class is structured like the waves you will experience during labor. Our movement begins slow and builds up to the mid-point of class, similar to the peak of a contraction, when we do a "challenge exercise". After the challenge exercise, we come down slowly and end class with a few minutes of relaxation.
Physically speaking, the intent of the series is to stretch, maintain strength, connect with your pelvic floor, and enhance flexibility. Rest assured, classes can be modified to fit your comfort level. Truly any body can do the yoga movements!
Every person registered for a full prenatal yoga series will receive the e-book "Peaceful Pushing" by physical therapist, Libby Trausch. The concepts in the e-book are reinforced in each yoga class to prepare each person for their birth.

Want to get your partner involved in birth preparation?
Although I offer education, resources, and my experiences around pregnancy, childbirth, and parenthood during yoga, time in class is limited and does not include partners. Therefore, I encourage additional education to ensure you are empowered in your birth journey.
I offer individualized, virtual consultations to support you and your partner to prepare for labor and birth. Visit the Birth Prep page to learn more.
