How to Keep Your Practice During Pregnancy
When we get pregnant our life rapidly changes. While it's a beautiful time, it can also be unnerving, intimidating and sometimes even a bit painful. This series is developed for experienced yoga students with a consistent practice (or who have been practicing casually for years) who want to maintain the sense of peace and sense of self their practice provides.
This is not your typical prenatal class. It's a series to empower YOU to learn about your body and tailor your regular practice to fit your needs. Why? Because this allows you practice when and where you normally might but without compromising your safety or pushing yourself too far and too hard.
Join {sacred} founder Annelise on this 20-part journey through tutorials, mini-practices and specially designed sequences that teach you modifications and inspire a sense of self-trust. Some tutorials may be "one and done" teaching you exactly what you need to incorporate into your regular classes. Others are great mini-practices that will guide you through a series of exercises...and they may feel so good you want to do them weekly.
You'll get tutorials and practices for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th trimester from someone who has been teaching yoga for over 20 years and modified her own practice for the duration of her pregnancy. Join us here and you'll get access to our private facebook group...a support system of sorts for local, eclectic mamas just like you. This program is yours to use as often as you like with a one-year rental of $159.00. It will see you all the way through your pregnancy!
