Gentle Yoga for Fertility & Beyond

Class Description

Join a community of folks in various stages of their reproductive journeys. All classes begin with group dialogue and community building where participants share questions, concerns, and celebrations concerning their path of exploring gentleness, womb care, and/or expanding their family. Then, we explore stress-reducing breath practices (pranayama) and gentle movement (asana) focused on the pelvis, lower back, hips, groins, chest and shoulders. Meditation, visualization, and yoga philosophy is also woven into the fabric of each class, guiding participants into slowing down and cultivating a deeper connection with Self. The class commences with a period of integration through guided relaxation and practices for positive focus. Gender-inclusive language. No yoga experience necessary.
