Starting in May 2016 the yoga movement will be offering prenatal yoga
This class is open to both pregnant bellies and postpartum moms with babies!
Belly Mommies: Open to women in all stages of pregnancy and yoga experience, the class will focus on poses and techniques that can ease the common ailments of pregnancy to help prepare for childbirth.
Baby Mommies: Open to women who are feeling fine at 6 weeks postpartum. Mommies who had a Cesarean-section should wait a little longer—8 to 10 weeks; check with your doctor or midwife. Babies can begin any time, and tend to enjoy the class until they are up and moving. You are welcome to feed your baby (by breast or bottle) any time during class in the studio, and to change baby’s diaper any time, too. Please bring a blanket for baby to lie on.
About Erica White
Erica’s journey to the mat started in the ballet studio. After dancing classical ballet for 19 years and teaching for 7, she found her love for yoga after graduating from Texas A&M University in 2008 as a way to continue the movement but also relax the mind. When she was expecting her first child in 2014, her doctor recommended she take prenatal yoga classes in place of her regular practice. She instantly fell in love with not only the way it made her feel and how it helped during labor, but the sense of community with other new moms. Erica felt compelled to bring her teachings and experience to her local community by getting her 200 HR Yoga and 85 HR Prenatal Specialty Yoga Certification. She opens her classes to pregnant and postpartum moms with their babies as she knows first-hand how difficult it can be to find time for yourself to practice.
