Prenatal
Prenatal yoga helps pregnant folks build strength, improve flexibility, and create community during pregnancy. We explore movement and breathing techniques that can help prepare both body and mind for childbirth. Torrey studied with Jane Austin, and enjoys teaching prenatal classes weekly in San Francisco, Berkeley and Oakland. Her strong knowledge of anatomy and her experience as a birth doula creates a space for pregnant people to connect with their babies, and with themselves.
Postnatal
Babies welcome!
Postnatal Yoga presents new parents with an opportunity to reconnect with a movement practice after the transformative experience of giving birth. The Postnatal yoga practice can cultivate strength for new parents both physically and emotionally. We practice with a focus on opening the shoulders, releasing tight backs, opening the hips, toning the pelvic floor and increasing core strength, and parents are invited to bring their babies! We do baby yoga and infant massage in every class, which can increase bonding and attachment. We foster community and create support so that new parents can thrive.
