Prenatal Yoga

Support through pregnancy, labor, and recovery.

Having a prenatal yoga practice helps you build stamina, feel more at home in your changing body, and gather tools you'll carry right into labor & delivery. This class meets you where you are — whether you're newly pregnant, counting down the final weeks, a first-time parent or a seasoned one. We are here to support you through the anatomical and physiological changes of each trimester & empower you for your labor & delivery.

Every class sequence considers the individuals in class that day, their trimester and their particular pregnancy ailments. Class begins with a gentle warm-up — breath awareness, joint mobility, and a short check-in to see how everyone is feeling that day. No two classes are exactly alike; your teacher adapts to where the group is.

Each week we gather around a new topic and learn together across the whole journey — topics are not limited to: prenatal nutrition & common discomforts, the stages of labor & your pain management options, writing a birth plan, and postpartum recovery, feeding & caring for yourself once baby arrives. We even make room to talk through navigating the NYC hospital system. Bring your questions, your worries & your wins. Beyond yoga, this is a space to share, laugh & grow with other parents walking the same path.

We emphasize the building of community. Local recommendations for all baby & parent things. We have an ongoing community chat for prenatal & Baby & Me student support.

"Come as you are, move at your own pace, learn and grow alongside others doing the same."

How to Prepare

What to Wear & Bring

Wear comfortable, stretchy clothing you can move freely in. We recommend bringing a water bottle and a light layer for Savasana. Mats and props are provided — mat rental is available if you prefer not to bring your own.

When to Start

Many students join after the first trimester (12–14 weeks), once nausea has settled. However, you are welcome at any stage of pregnancy with your doctor's clearance. The earlier you start, the more time you have to build the skills.

Medical Clearance

Always let your OB, midwife, or healthcare provider know you are practicing yoga. Most uncomplicated pregnancies are well-suited to prenatal yoga — but your provider knows your specific situation best. Let your teacher know of any restrictions or complications.

Arriving for Class

Plan to arrive 5–10 minutes early for your first class. This gives you time to meet your teacher, set up props, and settle in without feeling rushed. Reservation is required — book through the schedule below or via MINDBODY.

Eat & Hydrate

Have a light snack 1–2 hours before class — low blood sugar during yoga is not fun, especially during pregnancy. Drink water before and after. Bring your bottle to class and sip as needed.

Listen to Your Body

Pregnancy is not a time to push your edge. Prenatal yoga is about working with your body, not against it. If something feels uncomfortable, skip it or ask for a modification. Your teacher is there to support you — not to challenge you.

"I started prenatal yoga here and loved it so much I kept coming back after giving birth. Erica is an amazing teacher — patient, encouraging, and clearly passionate about what she does. Highly recommend to any expecting moms in the area." — Jessica L., Owl's Head Yoga student
