Prenatal Yoga

WEDNESDAY EVENINGS, 6:15 - 7:30 PM
You are: a pregnant person.
You want: a customized yoga class taught by an experienced doula (Alexandra) and prenatal yoga teachers (both of us!)
You’ll get: that and a priceless chance to connect with other expecting parents—think future playgroup! At the end of class, people say: “See you next week, unless I have the baby!”
Every class will begin with a brief check-in, so you can get to know your fellow attendees on the path of pregnancy. After that, we’ll move and breathe through a prenatal yoga practice, safe for all trimesters of pregnancy. We’ll end class with rest and stillness.
Preregistration is required. Carrboro Yoga offers drop-in classes, unlimited or 5x a month membership options, or a 10 class pass, so the price per class ranges from $15 - $30 a class, depending on how you sign up.
This class is co-taught by Alexandra and Mary, who generally alternate week to week.

If you're a new mom or birth parent, this is the class for you! During our time together, we'll check in, connect, move, and breathe. On the mat, we'll prioritize movement that feels good & work on rebuilding strength. It took many months for your body to build your sweet baby, and in this class, you’ll find care for your core, pelvic floor, shoulders, and hips. Meet other new moms and birth parents or reconnect with folks from prenatal yoga class!
Non-mobile babies are welcome to join—whether they are asleep or awake, calm or cranky. (It’s also fine for you to come solo. Attendees do both!)

You'll also have the opportunity to connect to other mothers, and share the joys and challenges of parenthood.
