Bend & Bloom offers classes, workshops, and groups to help you care for yourself and your family through the childbearing years. Whether you’re contemplating pregnancy and parenthood or are well on your way, we offer you a serene setting in which to gather information and support, to practice yoga and to build community. All classes are taught by certified instructors who are well prepared to guide you with the utmost care and attention.
Meet other future mamas and indulge in the benefits of Bend & Bloom prenatal yoga. Our gently flowing practice will help you to improve circulation, ease digestion, maintain a limber spine, strengthen your uterus and pelvic muscles, and simply make you more at ease throughout your pregnancy. We take plenty of time to share and address common challenges we face over the prenatal journey including nausea, constipation, varicose veins, swelling, and back pain. Through yoga, breath work, meditation, and discussion you will develop confidence and nurture your innate wisdom to connect with your baby and enjoy the magical process of pregnancy and birth.
It is our intention to make you feel well cared for, more calm, comfortable and confident with every class. Our prenatal classes are for women at all stages of pregnancy. No previous yoga experience necessary.
Focus on restoring balance and health to your new life as a parent through a gentle yoga practice. Our postpartum class focuses on rebuilding core strength, toning back and pelvic muscle, and releasing tension in the shoulders and chest. Our community of new parents will share common concerns and challenges in this new chapter of life. Open to all parents and infants up through crawlers.
We offer one-on-one private yoga classes designed to meet your personal needs.
We also offer postpartum care to help you rejuvenate your body and mind after birth. To schedule an appointment call the studio or email us at info@bendandbloom.com.
