Welcome to the YogaSpace Pre/Postnatal Program
The remarkable journey of preparing for, giving birth
to and caring for a new life is a positive, transformative
experience.
Pregnancy offers expectant parents the opportunity to prepare
physically, mentally and emotionally for what is perhaps the
most important work of their lives – parenting. Making
informed decisions about childbirth, newborn care and parenting
practices is a critical investment in the relationship between
parent'(s) and child. This lasting investment of preparation
involves becoming informed so as to create a peaceful, loving
environment in which to grow, birth and care for a new life.
Our prenatal Yoga classes offer women the opportunity to connect
with other pregnant women in a nurturing environment as they
gently and safely support their changing bodies, minds and
spirits under the careful guidance of wise, experienced and
knowledgeable Yoga teachers/doula's. Connecting to community
in this way supports mother and child through this important
development in their lives, both individually and together.
Our pre/postnatal program offers not only Prenatal Yoga, but
also birth and parenting education to new mothers and their
partners, inviting parents to build supportive relationships
which will take them through the incredible journey of pregnancy
and birth into parenting.
When new mothers return to their Yoga community with their
newborns after the profound experience of birth and early
parenting, they are greeted by the teachers and peers with
whom they have built important personal relationships. Sharing
birth stories with friends and mentors who care, as women
regain their physical, mental and emotional strength in Postnatal
Yoga provides a continuity that supports the early parenting
process while erasing the possible physical and emotional
complications that can arise when early parenting takes place
in isolation. Our unique Mom's and Mobile babies class welcomes
mothers to continue their Yoga practice alongside their toddlers
in a relaxed, Mom and baby friendly environment.
The YogaSpace pre/postnatal program advocates education and
choice in a responsive, supportive environment, providing
a strong and stable foundation for the most profound work
of your life.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Beet, Director, YogaSpace
