6 Week Online Session
August 10th - September 14th, Wednesdays, 6:00-7:15pm
Join birth and postpartum doula Rebecca Henry for her unique 6-week Online Prenatal Yoga Series that is an exciting and innovated collaboration between Roots & River Yoga and Lighthouse Yoga Center in Washington, DC.
Prenatal yoga is not just a regular yoga class adapted for pregnant people. At a time when everything is changing in your body, prenatal yoga helps moms-to-be reconnect with and build body awareness, stretch, strengthen and release the muscles most easily affected by pregnancy and foster a greater understanding of what is happening with our bodies during pregnancy and childbirth.
This series will give moms a chance to foster a sense of community with other moms, explore techniques for preparing for and coping with labor and help make space for baby to turn into optimal position for labor and birth. Each class will explore a different element of pregnancy, labor and/or childbirth, building knowledge and bodily awareness for this important time in your life!
Open to all stages of pregnancy and all levels of yoga experience. Accommodations will be provided for injuries or special conditions. However, if in doubt, we recommend that you consult your physician before signing up.
Cost: $108/6 week series
Rebecca’s journey with yoga and meditation began more than twenty years ago when she took precepts with the Zen Buddhist Society of Compassionate Wisdom, finding that a vigorous yoga practice was the only way to keep her chattering mind quiet on her meditation mat. As those practices expanded into helping her with the stresses of school, and, later, work and family life, she has been exploring the benefits of her practice on and off the mat ever since.
Forever a student, Rebecca brings a beginners mind and an awakened heart to her practice and teaching. Compassion, empathy, humor and joy are at the core of all of her classes. Her focus is on alignment and mindful movement with breath in both a traditional hatha as well as vinyasa style.
This series is offered online only. Join LIVE at class time or wait for the recording to enjoy at your own convenience.
