Tonight was my first prenatal yoga class at IU North. It's taught by Mimi, she's a doula as well, and has been teaching Prenatal yoga for over 10 years.
It was a small class of 6 of us ranging from 18 to 34 weeks. Mainly first time Moms. I enjoyed talking with all the other Moms and getting to know them and discussing our pregnancies.
I have done yoga before but it's been awhile since I have done some of the moves and it felt different in this body. It felt great to stretch and loosen up my hips. My lower back is very tender. Mimi is bringing me Magnesium Chloride gel to put on my back next week to relieve some of the tenderness. I'm excited to try it.
This is a 6 week course and its really going to be good for me not just for stretching but breathing too and we learn techniques to use during labor as well.
Mimi also teaches Mommy and Baby yoga classes. I hope to bring Evan to some classes in October.
Yoga Momma :)
Namaste
