Beneficial in all stages of pregnancy; all levels and trimesters welcome. Pregnancy Yoga is an all-levels class that helps expecting moms to develop the flexibility, concentration and strength needed during the transformative time of pregnancy. Through yoga, breath awareness and relaxation, moms experience the special connection they have with their babies while developing trust and confidence in their body's resources for birth. Suitable for beginning yoga students. Pregnancy Yoga II is intended for students with previous yoga experience, and helps expecting moms to modify their practices, connect with their babies, and prepare minds & bodies for birth. Includes active asana practice, breathwork, meditation techniques, and vocal toning. Doctor’s or midwife's permission note required for both classes.

Integrative and Transformational BreathWork - Lauren Chelec Cafritz
[email protected], 301.221.8278
Breathwork is a safe potent way to optimize breathing and lower stress. It will bring energy and peacefulness to the birthing process. Breathwork boosts the immune system and oxygenates every cell in your body. We will work to get the breath low in the belly which is also wonderful for birthing. This breath prepares mother and baby for a beautiful birth. Classes held at The Mindfulness Center Mondays 6-7:15pm. www.TheMindfulnessCenter.org. 4963 Elm Street, Suite 100 Bethesda, MD 20814 301-986-1090
