YOGA FOR BIRTH

Yoga for Birth is a prenatal yoga class specifically intended to help you prepare for your birth.

This summer we're offering a special series of prenatal yoga classes specifically focused on birth preparation.

In these classes we will practice yoga postures, movements and breath work that you will be able to draw from to use during your labor and birth.

These classes are safe for all trimesters, no prior yoga experience is necessary. Modifications will offered as needed to help everyone feel safe and comfortable throughout class.

These classes are not sequential, you can attend one, some or all of these classes.

Any of our yoga passes can be used for these classes. Learn more about all of our regular prenatal yoga offerings here.

If you have further questions, please email us at yoga@bbcroc.com.
