Join Jane Austin, Perinatal Yoga Teacher and Trainer for over 30 years and Founder of Mama Tree, for a special 3-hour workshop designed for expecting parents!
Pregnancy is a powerful and transformative time, and yoga can be a deeply supportive practice throughout the journey.
In this workshop, you’ll go beyond the usual “dos and don’ts” and gain a clear understanding of why certain practices are encouraged (and why others may not be). Jane will guide you through the anatomy and physiology of the pregnant body so you can feel more confident and safe on your mat.
You’ll learn simple modifications and variations of postures that meet your body where it is, support your changing needs, and help you build strength and resilience for birth and beyond. Along the way, we’ll debunk some common myths about movement during pregnancy and create space for discussion and community.
The workshop includes a yoga practice that will nourish your changing body, an informative lecture, and community building conversation tailored to pregnancy. Whether you are brand new to yoga or a longtime practitioner, this will be an informative, empowering, and maybe even mind-blowing experience. The only prerequisite: bring your curiosity and an open heart.
Cost: $155 (10% off for Metta Yoga members applies automatically at checkout).
