Prenatal yoga at a breastfeeding store

iluvivy · October 2012

I am getting ready to start prenatal yoga at this breastfeeding store in Montgomery. Has anyone taken prenantal yoga before? I have never taken any yoga classes but they say you do not need any experience. This is my 4th pregnancy and I want to do the best I can as this is my last! My goal is to stay in shape and prepare for what I hope to be a natural childbirth. I am what they call AMA (old pregnant mom) Surprise my sisters find it funny that I am considered old. I keep telling them I am still younger than they are! Stick out tongue

Wish me luck as I start this class in a few weeks. I am super excited. I have gained weight already and this will be all I WILL gain! This mama is taking prenatal yoga...and getting in shape for this long pregnancy. I am just now turning 8 weeks. Seems like I have been pregnant fr years now... No energy, no get up and go! Any advice? I hope yoga will do the trick.

I started doing yoga (not prenatal just regular) around the same time that I found out I was pregnant and I really enjoy it. I will agree that you don't need any experience to get a lot out of it and I really enjoy having that time to relax and meditate for a while. Our studio is nice and dark w/ lavender oil sprayed for a nice calm scent and its just really calm and nice. I've just been modifying as I go and it's important to remember to not over stretch though- when pregnant your body releases more relaxin hormone which makes you more prone to overdoing it on accident.

As for the no energy- I still have none and don't think I will get any back until I'm done having kids haha Between the pregnancy and taking care of a very active toddler and infant I am exhausted regardless of how good I eat or how much I exercise. I hope you enjoy your class though and if nothing else have an hour to relax by yourself!

I don't mind that you post about this store, as I'm sure it's a great resource for local mamas (in fact, I intend to check it out, myself) - but please fess up as to whether or not you're working for them. I know you started posting about them a really long time ago when we still had an active board, and that seems to be all you talk about.

Again, I don't care if you're a vendor here, because BFing support is very important, but it drives me batty when they try to hide it.

Try myYogaCo in Hyde park off Erie. It is the former Shine location which is now run by one of the teachers. Kate is amazing and I love how I feel when I get finished. She also takes the time to ask each person what they need to work on and makes it a point to hit as many aches and pains. I feel it in my body if I miss a week of class. Pre-natal classes are Wednesday nights and Saturday. It has been a great escape to be in a class with others going through similar aches as I am. It truly is a 'community' which is what the CO stands for in the name. Love it!!
