“Our task must
be to free ourselves… by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature
and its beauty… Nothing will benefit human health
and increase chances of survival for life on Earth as much
as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.” -Albert Einsteinn

If not before, now is the time to start a healthy lifestyle. With a growing baby inside of you, there is nothing more powerful you can do than take good care of yourself and perhaps replace some bad habits with good ones.
Yoga is an excellent way to "train" for the marathon of labor and motherhood. Practicing Yoga in pregnancy helps to strengthen and stretch muscles, release tension and maintain good posture.
Prenatal yoga also teaches you to relax on command and keep a positive outlook while clearing the mind of the stresses associated with pregnancy and motherhood.
Pre-registration necessary!
