“One of the most powerful and wondrous physical experiences a woman can have is being pregnant. Feeling life growing inside of herself makes her profoundly aware of the complexity of nature and the intelligence of her body. “

Karen Hill Miller, a master’s prepared RN with 35 years of maternity experience will begin the very first prenatal yoga classes at Mint Hill Yoga on Sunday nights at 7pm starting on June 7.

The class will focus on safe poses as well as  breathing  and relaxation.  The poses in prenatal yoga build strength and endurance (great for labor!), increase flexibility, reduce fatigue, and relieve some of the discomforts of pregnancy. (Don’t be surprised if  you sleep much better on Sunday nights after class). The breathing and relaxation are tools that will also serve you well in not only in labor, but also with the challenges of new motherhood! Students are invited to return to class 4-6 weeks after delivery to gently prepare  your body for the next phase of your yoga practice. 

As with other classes at MHY, drop-ins are $12 and a series of 5 is $45.  If you deliver or your doctor puts you on bedrest in the middle of a series, your series purchase will be put on “hold” and can use your remaining sessions after delivery.
