Prenatal/Pregnancy

Jivamukti New York occasionally offers prenatal yoga workshops. Please check our New York Workshops page for the latest information.

We recommend consulting your physician before practicing yoga during pregnancy. If attending a Jivamukti Yoga class while pregnant, you are encouraged to  ask the teacher before class for assistance with options and modifications.

Through the use of props and a wide spectrum of asanas adapted for the ever-changing pregnant body, modifications and variations enable the pregnant yogini to safely practice sun salutations, standing poses, balances, twists, forward bends, and even backbends. Emphasizing breathing along with stretching and strengthening the body, these challenging but relaxing classes can be empowering for pregnant women.
