Prenatal Online Yoga Classes on YogaVibes

Nov 21, 2011

Pregnancy can be an amazing, beautiful time as your body changes to meet the demands of nourishing and nurturing the life growing inside you. Along the way, you may discover a need to allow your yoga practice to change to accommodate your current energy level and expanding belly.

You may find that the hard-core Vinyasa class that you have been taking is no longer appropriate for how you are feeling, or that your home studio does not offer prenatal yoga classes. And some days, venturing out to your regular class may simply seem unappealing.

YogaVibes’ commitment to providing you with the yoga you need continues with our growing prenatal selection, designed to help you maintain your yoga practice in the comfort of your own home.

Currently, you can choose from one of Washington, D.C.-based Jenny Neuville’s prenatal online yoga classes, both focusing on relieving tension in the hips and lower back. Jenny’s classes are perfect for a day when you are feeling energetic and want to experience classic Vinyasa poses and sequences with a prenatal focus on relieving the everyday aches and pains of pregnancy. Check out Jenny Neuville’s Prenatal Yoga Videos.

Or, if your body is asking for a more restorative practice, try one of Los Angeles-based Ashley Albrand’s prenatal classes. Ashley’s classes combine all seated postures with a little bit of kriya and pranayama, focusing on fostering a deep connection between you and your baby. Grab a towel, blocks, bolsters (or rolled up towels) and enjoy these deliciously restorative Prenatal Yoga Videos with Ashley Albrand.

We wish you a healthy, happy pregnancy and hope that these online yoga practices will motivate and inspire you to explore this exciting new facet of your yoga practice. Enjoy!
