Prenatal Yoga
The Prenatal Yoga classes provide an opportunity for expectant women to develop greater vitality and awareness of your body that is home for two, as well as to deepen your relationship with your baby. Gentle postures, breath work, visualization, vocal toning and meditation are learned to cultivate flexibility, calm and confidence in preparation for labour and childbirth. Women are empowered to enhance their ability to access greater relaxation, comfort, and enjoyment. Calm and flexibility ease the birthing process, thus reducing pain and increasing the joy of giving birth. With prenatal yoga, women prepare an active and natural birth.

Janice is available for private yoga sessions for individuals and couples, and for yoga therapy. To book an appointment: janice@urbanyoga.ca or 604-739-6664
