Prenatal Yoga
Has anyone been to a prenatal yoga class?
I went last Saturday and it was FANTASTIC!!! I highly recommend it to all my fellow mommies to be.
We did a lot of stretching and partner squats to help each other balance and a few other poses that made me realize I'm totally NOT flexible at all!!! LOL We also did a lot of breathing and relaxation techniques that are supposed to really help out with delivery. At the end of class we did a nice relaxation pose with our backs on pillows and your feet elevated. The teacher played nice relaxing music and the words were all about how you and your baby are one soul .. I couldnt stop crying.. I was very emotional. The teacher after class said it's very natural during her class for the women to cry, it makes you feel one with your little baby, she also is very patient and if you have any soreness or questions before or during the class she is very helpful, she's a sweetheart!
I took the class at a yoga place in Rockville Centre on the corner of Park (by the Fantasy Movie Theater) and Merrick Road. It was $15 for a single session or you can pay $165 for 8 weeks of classes. They are given every Saturday @ 10:30am. I cant rave about this enough. They also hold partner classes, that's when you and your hubby do the yoga together.![]()
I cant wait to go tomorrow!!! I hope some of you look into prenatal yoga.. it's really helpful and helps keep you fit and relaxed.
