What some of my Prenatal clients have said about the
Yoga that I teach....
From Amy, a prenatal client. "I did thoroughly
enjoy your prenatal yoga classes--the physical activity was wonderful.
Also, I truly enjoyed the community of pregnant women in tune with our
bodies and so positive and hopeful about the tiny bodies, minds and
spirits of the babies in our tummies. I think attending your classes
made the L&D (Labor and Delivery) of my second baby even easier
and smoother than that of our first baby."
From Lynn, a prenatal client. "I used the various yoga postures
that Gail taught us in class, to help manage the contractions. I had
to be induced, and was able to walk around, sit on the birth ball, and
use my Yoga breath, to ease the severity of my contractions. I didn't
need to use any narcotics or pain relief. My pelvis was so opened up,
that she came out after 4 pushes! After the birth of my baby, the nurses
were so surprised how quickly I recovered. I was ready to go home that
day! This was my smallest baby of 8 pounds and 4 ounces."
