Prenatal Yoga for Women

Trauma-Informed Prenatal Yoga

Pregnancy and TTC (trying to conceive) can be times of immense personal and spiritual growth, along with the obvious physical transformation occurring. Sometimes the journey into fertility can awaken past or present trauma, which is why every prenatal class with Effloresce is also trauma-informed and accessible to all levels of yoga experience. Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned yogi, the benefits of participating in prenatal yoga are limitless!

On a personal note…..

I came to realize the importance of prenatal yoga and its breadth of benefits through my own experience with TTC (trying to conceive) and pregnancy (as well as pregnancy losses). 

I trained with Shanti Mom prenatal yoga school, which began my journey to becoming a passionate advocate for natural birth and home birthing. My daughter was born using HypnoBirthing techniques in a hospital setting in 2012 and my second child was born peacefully at home in 2014. Both pregnancies received a rich prenatal yoga experience, and I am now an active member in Cincinnati's homebirth community.

I thoroughly enjoy introducing other women (and their partners) to the powerful effects of prenatal yoga during pregnancy, as well as the benefits of planning for natural birth whenever possible.

The powerful sangha created through prenatal yoga classes assists women in expanding one another’s wisdom (as classes are always begun with an optional brief circle of sharing), while exploring their bodies’ immense capacities to expand as well.

Consider this a personal invitation to join our sangha if you feel called!
