Stressed, exhausted, or excited about an upcoming birth? Prenatal yoga just might be the place for you. Learn simple relaxation techniques, and helpful breathing exercises, or simply use a class as a “time out” before the big day. Ordinarily, you might even find a new friend while you’re trying not to pee yourself during Warrior Pose.
