Take Time Out for Self-care
Who May Attend?
Pregnant women in any trimester may enroll if they have clearance from their doctor to engage in light exercise.
Treat yourself to some "me-time" in this 90-minute class designed to help you bring more comfort to both mind and body. With the special considerations of pregnancy in mind, this class emphasizes areas of the body that tend to be tight during pregnancy and stretches which can be helpful for a natural delivery. Poses are held for longer durations, similar to a restorative yoga class, to help find calm and relief from aches and pains. Every class will include an emphasis on breathing and finding a more meditative, relaxed state. Participants should have a yoga mat, chair, a few folded up blankets and a pillow.
Your registration fee covers two people - you and your support person.
Highlights
