Read what yogis are saying about prenatal yoga with Empowered Pregnancy & Birth.

I can say without a doubt if I were to ever be pregnant again I would never do it without yoga throughout! Thanks for a wonderful prenatal yoga experience!   - J. S.

Thank you so much for your class! I've had energy - as much as I can - and feel like I'm in a much better place for recovery from the c-section because of your class!

Participating in prenatal yoga was one of the best things I could have done during my pregnancy to prepare me for labor! Thank you again for everything you have taught me!   - M. D.

I am so thankful for the prenatal yoga classes you offered! I wish I had done them with my first two babies! The classes helped me connect with baby and physically/emotionally prepare for labor/birth. Thank you so much for the support/encouragement/education you provided through your prenatal yoga classes! I cannot tell you how beneficial it was for me! I will most definitely recommend your classes to others!     - A. S.

I used so many techniques learned in yoga while in labor. I really attribute prenatal yoga to my being calm and so prepared for this whole process.  I felt physically great going into labor, and feel AMAZING so early in my recovery process. I am SO glad I started with the prenatal yoga and that I continued with it throughout pregnancy.  I'm recommending it to all my pregnant friends!   - M. N.

I have to give my perspective on how much yoga helped. First, it was incredibly useful during those weeks of prodromal labor. It helped me stay relaxed and mentally tough during those long weeks. During the c-section, I was scared and used a lot of the relaxation from yoga to stay calm. Most notably, months of doing squats has helped strengthen my legs- taking the strain off my incision. I really want to thank you for the class and the community it creates. - E. S.

Prenatal yoga with Melissa was a highlight of my week. I started around 31 weeks and wish I started before. The way class is conducted with tips and pointers and discussion topics every week to think about were so much help in preparing for baby and birthing as well as different techniques or positions to try during labor and delivery. The yoga part itself was also very helpful in developing strength and stretches to use during the weeks ahead and also while in labor. I would highly recommend Melissa and her prenatal yoga series to any expectant mom. I look forward to going back! - N. S.

I'm serious that without your class I know I wouldn't have gotten through this labor. I was able to focus on my breath and practice everything we learned in class. I was able to visualize myself opening. I had baby in such a great position the whole time from all the exercises you taught me that I never once had back labor and he was in the perfect position to come right out. You have no idea how you've impacted my life by impacting this birth and empowering me to do the one thing I've always wanted to do!! Much love and appreciation!! - L. T.
