Barefoot Movement is dedicated to helping pregnant people prenatally and in postpartum. During pregnancy we wish to provide you with a practice that assists you through pregnancy, in preparation for labor and in parenthood.
Prenatal Classes
Prenatal classes involve a gentle flow through poses aimed at increasing flexibility, strength, and stamina. Breath and movement exercises to focus the mind and stay calm in stressful situations help prepare you for whatever arises in your pregnancy, birth, and beyond. It’s recommended that students who are new to Yoga start prenatal Yoga in their second trimester. Of course, consult your midwife or doctor if you have any questions.
To keep a safe, private environment, we respectfully ask that only pregnant people attend.
Postnatal Classes
Post-natal classes for new parents can assist with physical recovery after birth and provide a supportive environment for parents re-engaging in self-care. We focus on strengthening and restoring alignment of the body postpartum, with poses that work to relieve tension, create energy and re-strengthen the core. We will also do poses to help relax and rejuvenate your body.
Supplemental Practices
To supplement a regular prenatal yoga practice, we offer services aimed at enriching your experience through pregnancy.
