BEHAVIORAL

yoga classes

There will be 6 total yoga classes (one introduced per week for a 6 week period). Each yoga session will be divided into three components, which will vary in duration based on a curriculum designed specifically with the post-partum state of mothers in mind: 1. Yoga postures (Asana) = low impact gentle postures meant to be done individually 2. Breathing techniques (Pranayama) = deliberate modifications of breath such as rapid diaphragmatic breathing, slow/deep breathing, alternate nostril breathing, breath holding 3. Meditation (Dhyana) = guided meditation
