When and Where

New 6-week series begins

January 17-  Tuesdays; 6:30pm – 8:30pm

Instructor

Crescence Krueger, Doula & Yoga Teacher

Featuring

The only prenatal yoga class with birth preparation + 2 partner classes!

Childbirth is a miraculous doorway that opens us to a deeper knowledge, appreciation and love of our bodies and ourselves. It is a profoundly beautiful human experience, but preparing for it can feel overwhelming and sometimes scary, especially for first time parents, which is why Yoga Goddess offers a prenatal yoga and meditation class that also includes birth preparation and partner yoga. Pregnancy is the ideal time to honour your body, calm your mind and reconnect your spirit with a self-nurturing practice like this one.

Yoga Goddess’ is the one and only prenatal yoga class that gives you all the tools you need for an easier birth! Learn yoga postures to strengthen your confidence in your body’s ability to birth.  Practice deep breathing and relaxation to allow your body to work safely, naturally and more comfortably. Release the fear and tension that can interfere with the natural birthing process. Visualize a peaceful, calm and positive labour and birth of your baby.

Each class includes:

• Prenatal yoga for physical preparation

• Meditations and visualization for mental & spiritual preparation

• Practical childbirth education class discussions + birth preparation techniques

With the budgets of growing families in mind, Yoga Goddess has divided the full 12-week course into two 6-week sessions so you can pay as you go, if that’s easier. The 6-week sessions don’t need to be taken in order – join us for whichever session starts next! And if you decide right away that you’d like to take all 12 weeks (and we’d love that!), you’ll receive a $35 discount on all the sessions when you prepay.
