Prenatal Yoga

An awesome little studio in SW Portland

Yoga has become the thing to do. But I can tell you, as someone who usually avoids fads, I love going to yoga. If you know anyone who is pregnant, whether they are 39 weeks or two weeks, tell them to get their butt to a yoga class. Yoga is just stretching and breathing; but when's the last time you stretched and took nice, deep breaths for 90 minutes straight? When you're pregnant your body goes through so many changes and often you're muscles feel tight and achy. Yoga is like a little reward. Stretching the hips, pelvis and back can not only help during labor, it feels sooo good. So ignore all the hype around yoga (unless you want to study the spiritual and philosophical practice around it) and sign up for a class. We all deserve a good stretch.
