Pre-Natal Yoga

with

Carol Penn, O.D.

Thursdays, 5:30-6:30 pm, $20 drop-in

Carol Penn, Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Yoga Instructor, Dancer and Doula, holds a vision of wellness that includes integrating the healing aspects of both traditional and non-traditional health care. When Carol became pregnant with her son 14 years ago she continued practicing her yoga right up to and during labor using pranayama, mantra and gentle asana to have an ecstatic birth experience.

Pre-Natal Yoga, guided expertly by Dr. Carol Penn, will include:

· Asana practices to strengthen and build stamina in the muscles used during childbirth

· Meditation practices that connect mind, body, and spirit as a woman makes the journey to motherhood

· Pranayama (breathing) practices and visualization to release tension and manage pain during labor

· Learn to build trust and confidence in the innate capabilities of your body

The American college of Obstetrics and Gynecology supports and recommends 30 minutes of daily exercise during pregnancy. Current research is showing that babies born to exercising mothers are healthier and experience fewer fetal complications during labor, and may even receive neurobehavioral benefits as a result of their mom’s exercise regime while in utero.

Before beginning any exercise program, check with your licensed health care provider.
