“I had been taking yoga class with Ruthann for over a year when I found out I was pregnant. I was thrilled when Ruthann was offering a prenatal yoga class as well. The class taught me to relax, focus and learn positions that were very useful to me while I was birthing my baby. I was even able to do the whole labor and delivery with out any drugs and I contribute a lot of that to Ruthann and the wonderful suggestions and support she gave us. The class was also a great way to meet other moms. We hope to stay in touch now that we have babies the same age“
- Barb Vincent 

Having a yoga class that focuses on the needs your body has during pregnancy was very beneficial. It was nice to have specific exercises while pregnant and the affirmation and instruction from Ruthann that related specifically to my needs. I really enjoyed the class!”
-Deanna Faubus

“Practicing yoga during my second pregnancy not only helped me to prepare mentally, physically and emotionally for the birthing experience, but it also helped me to connect with my baby in a more deliberate, meaningful, and purposeful way.”
- Elizabeth Wade

Yoga during pregnancy is a great way to strengthen the body, relax the mind and relieve minor aches and pains. Awareness and freedom in the hips and pelvic area is encouraged through specific postures and breathing techniques, allowing for an easier birthing experience. This is a wonderful way to help strengthen the bond between mother and child.  Come and have a relaxing time and meet other expectant mothers just like you! Each session includes guided body awareness, breathing practices, yoga poses and meditation.

Prenatal Support

In the Prenatal Yoga class, time is set aside for the sharing of what's joyful and what's difficult about being pregnant. Topics of importance to mothers-to-be are explored in a non- judgmental and caring atmosphere. Discussions are rich, genuine and informative. Many women find these supportive discussions to be invaluable for the information, shared resources and the sense of community and friendship they provide.
