Prenatal fitness classes

Hey ladies, I'm in the Oakdale/Woodbury area.  I'm looking for a prenatal fitness and/or yoga class.  Anyone have recommendations?

IMO, just stick with the classes that are available at the gym you attend and do things at your own pace which can change depending on the day (most instructors are fantastic about this). That way you're also more likely to stick with it post-partum.  I'd also recommend more individual training than group classes since your needs will change over the course of the pregnancy. 

When I got pregnant with our little guy, I was an Elite Level lifter and stayed at a pretty high competitive level until a complication changed things.  Above all else, take the attitude of "don't train like a knucklehead!  Your body will tell you what you can and can't do on any particular day, listen to it!" which is a good attitude to take whether you're pregnant or not!

If you don't mind driving to St. Paul, I've heard really good things about Blooma. https://www.blooma.com. They have prenatal yoga along with some other interesting mom/baby related fitness classes. They have a bunch of other services and programs for pregnant women as well. I'm going to try the prenatal yoga class next week - I can let you know how it goes.

Please do, and no St. Paul would be a bad drive at all!
