What we’re about
The Yoga Womb at Sea Change Holistic Wellness Center offers pregnant and parenting moms a safe and nurturing place to explore yoga and to deepen the connection with themselves, with community and with their baby. The Yoga Womb is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School with RPYT teachers.
Why Practice Yoga?
The practice of yoga in pregnancy and parenthood encourages women to embrace their innate wisdom enabling empowered parenthood from the womb to the wonder years.
Yoga helps parents and children openly explore the mind, body, and spirit. Using a three-pronged approach good classes help women to increase their sense of well-being, while addressing the common aches and sensations of pregnancy and the postnatal body so students feel better each day; foster a compassionate community of friendship and support; and integrate childbirth education and parenting skills into classes to help the mother be more prepared and empowered for labor, delivery and motherhood.
Most healthcare professionals fully support women practicing yoga during pregnancy and beyond because they realize the countless benefits it has for the mamas-to-be and how it aids in a successful and safe birthing experience. Pre/Postnatal classes are appropriate and safe for all stages of pregnancy and practice and is a beautiful place for a beginner to commence their parenting and yoga journey.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that anything that turns our attention to ourselves is going to be healing for the body and really good for the baby
