Prenatal Fitness/Yoga classes near Columbia?

mllehmann · April 2011

I am 21 weeks and am looking for a Yoga/fitness prenatal class near Columbia - preferably in the evenings and at a place that doesn't require me to "commit" since we are moving in July. I don't mind paying, I just can't make a long term commitment to a gym. Any ideas? I am getting tired of doing it in my living room!

I know there's a place in Columbia but I can't remember the name. Honestly, it's worth the drive into the city to go to Heather Brown's class at Charm City Yoga. You can do one month for $40 with unlimited classes.

There is a yoga center in Columbia: https://www.columbiayoga.com/ClassSchedule.html Looks like it is $16/class. I've heard mixed reviews of Columbia Yoga. But, like PP, I've heard very good reviews of Charm City, if you're willing to drive up there.

I took a prenatal yoga class @ Columbia Yoga off Rt. 100; I thought it was good. I havent' heard of Charm City. You could probably take almost any Level 1 yoga class though and it could be adapted for you.

And actually I'm moving to Columbia next week so you're welcome to carpool with me if you want to try it out.

I would be interested in hearing how it goes!! I am in Columbia as well and thinking that it might be a good way to loosen up the body

. Any insight to the class would be great! Thanks!

My friend told me about Columbia Yoga and said she liked it a lot. I was going to go, but I never got around to it.

I love my pregnancy yoga class. I haven't had any swelling or achiness (except when I sleep since I can only sleep on my side) and I think the yoga has really helped. And you're never too far along to go; there's women in my class that are fully active in class right up to 41 weeks! It absolutely amazes me.

Columbia Yoga is nice, but it's a 'boutique' yoga studio. You're going to pay more no matter what, but the quality is higher. You can get a package of classes, which is probably the way I would go since you're moving. You can get like 10 classes, and get a discount that way.

Otherwise, there are tons of yoga classes offered through the Columbia Association gyms (there are 3). You don't HAVE to be a member, and you don't HAVE to be a CA resident, but obviously, you'll pay a little more if you are. There are 3 gyms, so it's nice that you can find a class offered at one of them near you.

We just joined CA, and I'm a yoga junkie myself, so I'm looking forward to trying them out. Here's the link to the CA activity guide.

Wow... I just stumbled upon this thread, and what a big coincidence. I'm 16 weeks along, and I've just taken my 3rd prenatal yoga class at the Yoga Center of Columbia. I take the Saturday morning class (11:45-1:15pm); but there are also Thursday and Friday evening classes. The instructor is really friendly. The classes, which are $16 each, are extremely relaxing and are really helping me to be constantly mindful of my breathing and posture- even with this growing belly.

I registered for the full Spring session, 12 classes, but I do believe you can attend any class as a "drop-in," by just paying the per-class fee.

Good Luck!

I did this at Columbia Yoga a few times. My best friend is still going. I really liked it and it was nice that people were at all different stages of pregnancy. I had never done yoga before and while I am still not a huge fan, it was fun for a bit. You can do drop ins for $16

Thanks for the ideas. I wouldn't be opposed to getting downtown for a class, I actually work in Hunt Valley and live in Columbia. I looked at the charm city schedule and I dont know that I can get down there by 5:45. I might look into the one off rt 100 as well. I appreciate all the feedback!
