Posted by admin in Yoga , Williamsburg , Health Tip
Prenatal yoga classes are more popular than ever. Doing prenatal yoga can be a wonderful way to put time aside for yourself and your baby. Participating in a group prenatal class provides a community of support from new friends who understand what you are experiencing. Some programs may even include discussions about pregnancy-related topics such as doulas, nursing, and birth plans.
The benefits of practicing prenatal yoga will positively impact your pregnancy as well as your labor:

DF_yoga1_325Contributed by By Kerri Cushna

Thinking of Trying Hot Yoga?

HOT Yoga is a series of Yoga poses done in a heated room. The room usually has a temperature of 95-105 degrees to allow for more flexibility, less injury, and - you guessed it - more sweating.  The best part about Hot Yoga is that you don't have to be an expert to try it. You don't even have to have done Yoga before. The Hot Yoga classes are recommended for everyone from first day beginners to advanced students. The beauty of it is that everyone is practicing the same posture at different levels of ability.
