PRENATAL YOGA IN CHARLOTTE

One of the many questions I hear as a postpartum doula is, “Do you know where to find prenatal yoga in Charlotte?” You bet I do!

The first thing pregnant women should know is that all yoga is not created equal when you’re pregnant. If you’ve never taken a hot class, now is not the time to start. If you’ve been taking hot classes religiously for 5 years, that’s a totally different story. You know your body better than anyone, but definitely give your doctor or midwife a head’s up.

A prenatal class is a great, gentle way to help prepare your body for labor. But please don’t wait until your third trimester and expect to be “labor ready” after 3 classes. Start as soon as you find out the news that you’re having a baby (or babies!). Here’s where to find classes, in no particular order:
