The Power of Prenatal Yoga: Why Every Mama-to-Be Deserves This Time on the Mat
Pregnancy is a sacred journey, one that invites transformation on every level. As your body nurtures new life, it’s just as important to nurture yourself. That’s where prenatal yoga comes in.
Eugene Yoga is honored to offer a nurturing, community-centered prenatal yoga class beginning this September, led by the deeply experienced and compassionate Jennifer Jamieson. Whether you’re in your first trimester or nearing delivery, this class offers a safe, supportive space to care for your mind, body, and baby during this magical season of life.
What Is Prenatal Yoga?
Prenatal yoga is a specialized practice tailored to support the physical and emotional needs of pregnancy. Gentle and intentional, it incorporates breathwork, mindful movement, and relaxation techniques to promote well-being and prepare you for childbirth and postpartum recovery.
Classes include:
- Safe movement and alignment for growing bodies
- Breath techniques to ease anxiety and prepare for labor
- Gentle strengthening and mobility to support your changing body
- Pelvic floor awareness and support
- Time for reflection, connection, and deep rest
