Make yoga your pregnancy superpower

Expecting mamas who want to keep moving through pregnancy, and new mamas rebuilding afterward. You don't need any yoga experience — every class is taught from the ground up, with options and props for whatever your body needs that day. And if you've practiced for years, there's still plenty here. Pregnancy changes the practice more than most people expect.

Not primarily. Healthy Mama, Happy Baby is built for practitioners, and it isn't a certification for prenatal yoga. That said, teachers who go through it tell me they learn a lot about how pregnancy changes a body and how to work with a pregnant student.

Yes, we recommend that you get the green light from your doctor or midwife before you start. Most people are cleared without a second thought, but it's important to double-check. If anything about your pregnancy is complicated, that conversation matters even more.

Whenever you're ready. The classes are designed for all three trimesters, and I show modifications as your belly grows. If you're already at 32 weeks, there's still a lot waiting for you: the birth prep classes, the ones for back pain and sleep, and the whole postnatal library on the other side.

Yes. There are eight postnatal classes, including one built around the first 40 days, one for breath, core, and pelvic floor, and one you can do with your baby on the mat beside you. Recovery is slow work, and these classes treat it that way.

A mat, or a patch of carpet. Two blocks, a blanket, and a bolster will make almost every class more comfortable, but a couple of thick books, a beach towel, and a firm pillow from the couch do the same job.

Most classes are around 30 to 45 minutes long. The meditations are shorter, usually 5 to 20 minutes. On the days when a full class is too much, take one meditation and call that your practice.

You'll get invited into the program immediately after checkout, and everything is in one place. Access is yours for life, so the program is still there for the next pregnancy. It's a self-paced library rather than a live course, so there's no group to keep up with, no calls to schedule, and nothing due except your baby.

The evidence behind prenatal yoga is strong. It's been studied for pain, sleep, anxiety, and stress in pregnancy, and the findings point consistently in the same direction. But every pregnancy is its own thing, and I won't promise you a specific outcome. What I can promise is the practice itself: yoga that's safe for the body you have right now, and something useful to do with the hard days.
