PreNatal Yoga
This gentle class is designed to support the changes to your body through all stages of pregnancy. Improve your posture, relax, and reduce the aches and pains in a nurturing and supportive environment. Poses and breathing in preparation for labor and birth are practiced.

Yoga Nidra Meditation
Yoga Nidra is a tool we take into the world to help us navigate the onslaught of daily life. It is taught as a guided meditation that we mold into a personal practice. Physically and energetically, it produces deep relaxation. Mentally and emotionally, it helps us recognize and release uncomfortable habitual patterns. Spiritually, it is a guide to answering the big questions like “Who am I?” Ultimately Yoga Nidra offers us an unshakeable peace that remains even in the most difficult times of physical pain, interpersonal conflict and current events.
