There's a particular kind of stillness at Zilker before the day gets hot, when the lawn is still cool and the springs are at their glassiest. We're gathering for a free outdoor prenatal practice under the Monkey Tree, a slow morning together for pregnant students who want to move on the grass and maybe stay for a swim afterward
This is a gentle, accessible practice designed for any trimester. Bring whatever modifications and pace your body is asking for, with no expectation to keep up with anyone, including yourself. The springs are right there if you want to dip in after class, and the Monkey Tree is one of those Austin landmarks worth visiting even when you're not pregnant, so we figured we'd combine the two
What to bring A yoga mat, water, and anything else that helps you feel comfortable on the lawn: a towel, sunscreen, a blanket for after
Good to know The class is free. If you want to swim, Barton Springs Pool charges admission after 8 am, so plan to enter the pool area after our practice if you're staying. Sign up below so we can send the exact meet-up location and any weather updates the day before
Details Tuesday, June 16th @ 9 am Monkey Tree, Zilker Park Free, sign-up encouraged All trimesters welcome
Why We're Doing This
Austin Yoga Lounge is a prenatal and postpartum yoga studio in central Austin. We teach yoga classes, host birth and breastfeeding workshops, and build community for women at every stage of motherhood. Our studio is small on purpose, our teachers specialize in prenatal and postpartum movement, and we have snacks, hair ties, and even electrolytes waiting for you when you walk through the door.
But some of the best moments happen outside the studio. Community events like this one exist because we believe the village matters just as much as the practice. Motherhood can feel isolating, especially in the early days, and sometimes all it takes is an hour in the park with other women who get it to remind you that you're not doing this alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need yoga experience? Not at all. This class is designed for all levels. If you can breathe, you can do this.
Is this safe for pregnancy? Maggie is trained in prenatal yoga and will offer modifications throughout class. Let her know where you are in your pregnancy and she'll make sure you're supported.
What if it rains? We'll send a message to all registered attendees with weather updates. If it's raining, we'll reschedule for another date.
Is this really free? Yes. No catch. Just yoga in the park with good people.
