Prenatal yoga is a wonderful experience for students that are new or tenured to the practice. Because your body is experiencing so many changes: from hormone shifts, to your body making space for another human - prenatal yoga looks slightly different than your usual yoga practice.

These classes are designed to cater to all levels of experience, making them accessible and welcoming for beginners. Participants, regardless of their prior yoga background, can expect a focus on gentle stretching, easy-to-follow movements, and breathing exercises. We move slower , focus on the breathe for longer. The classes aim to create a supportive environment where everyone, regardless of their familiarity with yoga, can enjoy the benefits of improved flexibility, strength, and balance during pregnancy.

We encourage our students to practice with a naturally long and relaxed breathe, preparing the mind and body for labor. During a prenatal yoga class, you are in control the entire time. If something doesn’t feel right, you can get out of the pose at any time and find something that is beneficial to you and what you need.

Our goal at Austin Yoga Lounge, is to create a space where you meet yourself and your baby on the mat. We want you to work with your body and accept the various changes as they present themselves throughout the proceeding days, weeks, and months.

Additionally, these classes provide an opportunity for newcomers to connect with other expectant mothers, share experiences, and build a sense of community.

As with any movement program during pregnancy, it's advisable for individuals to consult with their healthcare provider before starting, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
