Registration & Flexibility:

Registration for the full series is included with the purchase of an 8-class pass.
We recognize that schedules can be unpredictable; therefore, our series are designed with flexibility in mind. However, to maximize the benefits of the program and the community experience, we highly recommend attending from the initial session

Having said that,  should you need to miss a session, your class credit remains valid. You may apply it toward a future 8-week series or redeem it for any of our Movement and Meditation classes. 

 

Class Topics

Pregnancy is a wonderful time of growth and change. Each weekly session focuses on a specialized prenatal topic, followed by dedicated time for participants to connect and build lasting relationships. 

Throughout the 8-week series, we will also welcome special guest speakers such as a pediatrician, sleep coach, pelvic floor therapist, and infant massage therapist, offering additional expert guidance and support.
Weekly Topics
(in no particular order)
  • Preparing for baby
  • Changing relationship
  • Communicating needs to partners and family
  • Managing discomfort (sleep, back pain, nausea, swelling)
  • Boundaries with well-meaning relatives
  • Letting go of control and perfectionism
  • Excitement vs. fear (and feeling both at once)
