We offer weekly Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga in partnership with Rooted Blossoms for M.O.M Program participants. These classes are ideal low-impact fitness and introspective routines to both start when one is expecting as well as continue after giving birth. Through the practice of yoga, this program connects women in building a sense of community and support.
Women who do yoga — including breathing exercises, meditation and posture positions — for one hour a day have been shown to have a lower preterm labor rate, as well as lower risk of pregnancy-reduced hypertension, compared with women who spent the same amount of time walking. Equally, those practicing yoga and meditation have additional physical and introspective tools assisting in the post birth transitions.
