Nurtured Beginnings: A Prenatal Yoga and Birth Prep Series

This six-week series offers a supportive space to connect with other pregnant people while preparing your body, mind, and nervous system for birth and early parenthood.

Each class begins with a 20–30 minute educational conversation focused on a specific birth-related topic, followed by a 60-minute prenatal yoga practice. After class, you’re invited to stay for tea, ask questions, and share reflections in a relaxed, community-oriented setting.

The series is facilitated by Erica, a trained doula with experience supporting clients through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Her approach blends practical education, embodied awareness, and compassionate support.

This class is suitable for all bodies and all stages of pregnancy, including those with no prior yoga experience. The movement practice focuses on functional, pregnancy-safe strengthening of the core and pelvic floor to help reduce the risk of diastasis recti, bladder leaks, and prolapse. You’ll also learn how to safely modify other yoga classes or movement practices you may participate in outside this series.

Throughout the program, we’ll work with breath to regulate the nervous system and calm the mind, explore yoga postures that ease common pregnancy discomforts, and use meditation to support the emotional transition into parenthood. Each class concludes with a guided relaxation and visualization designed to reduce fear, build confidence, and deepen connection with your baby.
