Stressed, exhausted, or excited about an upcoming birth? Prenatal yoga just might be the place for you. Learn simple relaxation techniques, helpful breathing exercise, 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. As of September, 2020, these studios are offering classes virtually.
Try out one of ten studios we’ve listed below, or let us know a favorite we may have missed. Namaste.
