I am thinking of signing up for prenatal yoga classes. Is anyone currently taking them? Do you like the class? Are you planning on signing up?

    I'm doing the Jane Austin DVD at home since I have no time to work a class into my schedule.  I really like it!  At first I thought it was lame but now that I'm getting bigger I can totally feel it and was even sore after the last one.  Enjoy!

    I absolutely LOVE my prenatal yoga class.  It's at a regular yoga studio, but they take their prenatal pretty seriously, and offer all sorts of workshops and childbirth classes that incorporate yoga.

    It can be hard, especially as I am getting bigger, but I can definitely see how doing yoga helps my aches and pains now and how it will help during labor.

    FWIW, my 75 minute class usually includes:

    • centering + cat-cow (10 minutes)
    • a vinyassa-style flow with lots of lunges and warrior positions (25 minutes)
    • 2 discomfort practices - dolphin pose + wall squats (3 sets of 1 minute each for each pose).  DPs HURT, but they are the most beneficial part - they are designed to (1) strengthen a muscle group that you need (upper arms, thighs), and (2) teach you how to handle extreme discomfort for 1 minute (the length of the average contraction).  (15 minutes)
    • balance poses (5 minutes)
    • partner stretching (5-10 minutes)
    • relaxation pose + closing (5-10 minutes)

    I took my first class this week. While I was doing it I felt I wasn't doing much at all and wondered if it was worth it, but afterwards I was sore! I guess I was doing more than I thought.  I would suggest it for sure.

    I've been to two classes so far, and love it! It's also a great way to meet other expectant moms!
