Prenatal

Trainer: Sharon Bales Category: Level: ,

Our Prenatal Yoga classes help you to embrace the precious nine months of pregnancy and to feel a sense of graciousness and calm. You will find the space and peace to become aware of your body and the amazing changes taking place. You will be guided through practices that will help them maintain strength and suppleness, boost energy, and relieve minor ailments throughout pregnancy. This class is a time for the woman to begin bonding with her baby and release anxieties. An important part of the practice is releasing and breathing in preparation to transition the baby from the womb to the arms.

Sharon first discovered yoga during her first year of university in 1993. She explored various types of yoga and yoga classes throughout the years. She later began to seriously study the teachings of Swami Satchidananda, undertook an Integral Yoga YTT-200, and began spending time at Yogaville, Virginia. After many years of learning about female pelvic health, nutrition, and fertility through her own struggles, Sharon began using her yoga practice to help women struggling with infertility. She began studying Pelvic Floor health with Leslie Howard; Well Woman Yoga, Prenatal, Postnatal and Fertility Yoga with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli and Francoise Freedman; and Hormone Therapy Yoga with Dinah Rodriguez. Sharon's dharma is to help women tap into their own feminine wisdom, strength, and power through her specially designed yoga sequences, and breath and focus techniques.
