lounge now offers prenatal yoga

January 4, 2010 · Posted under Asana and Breath Review 

A regular yoga practice is a great way to find balance in your life.  Benefits include building strength and flexibility, and reducing stress; a necessity for everyone, and particularly in those looking for a healthy pregnancy including the time before, during, and after the entire birthing process.  Calm and flexibility achieved through yoga ease the birthing process, thus reducing pain and increasing the joy of giving birth.  
                  Smooth pregnancy and a natural childbirth are just some of the benefits of pre-natal yoga.

But more importantly, yoga does wonders on the physical and mental development of the fetus.  Our experienced instructor (P.VanMeter) will guide you through a gentle pre or post natal yoga practice enhancing relaxation, comfort, and serenity for this transformational time of life.  Combining breathwork, meditation, and gentle postures designed to adequately open and prepare your body will enable you to have a safe and intimate experience with your unborn child.  After delivery post natal yoga can help heal the body, reducing pain from tension, and breast discomfort as well as help restore the uterus, abdomen and the pelvic floor.
Classes offered in six week sessions on Thursday evenings from 6:30-7:30pm at the yoga lounge. Total cost for six weeks, $72. All students are required to receive written permission from their physician and sign a liability waiver prior to participation.

(Pre & Post Natal class series is non-refundable and non-transferable. There are no credits for unused classes. Consistency and commitment are the only means of achieving true benefit for mother and baby. Should you experience complications or deliver your baby during the series, supply the lounge with a note signed by your health care practitioner stating that exercise is no longer advisable, and you may use the balance of your classes after the birth of your baby to attend our regularly scheduled weekly classes. Unused prenatal classes expire 90 days after the birth of your baby.)

    Hi,
    I was planning to sign up for the pre-natal yoga class, but just noticed tonight that a consent is due before starting. I probably won’t be able to make it to my practitioner’s office tomorrow for the signature. Would it be OK for them to call your office with the approval? They could possibly fax something as well. What is your fax #?
    Another idea…
    Would an email indicating approval pass until I get the signature?

    I am looking forward to the class. Julie Gardner
