A typical prenatal yoga class will include:
• Breath Work
You'll be encouraged to focus on breathing in and out slowly and deeply through the nose. Prenatal yoga breathing techniques might help you reduce or manage shortness of breath during pregnancy and work through contractions during labor.
• Stretching
You'll be encouraged to gently move different areas of your body, such as your neck, arms, and hips, through their full range of motion.
• Asana (Postures)
While standing, sitting or lying on the ground, you'll move your body in a way that is intentionally curated for a pregnant body to prepare for labor. Props — such as blankets, bolsters and yoga straps — will be used to provide support and comfort.
• Cool down and relaxation
Each class will end with a ten minute cool down to slow your heart rate and allow you to relax.
