Prenatal Yoga
Practicing yoga during pregnancy helps women embrace this life-changing event and adjust to their rapidly
changing bodies. It brings specific attention to the most neglected - yet most important muscle groups in a
pregnant woman’s body: the abdominals and the pelvic floor. Yoga postures strengthen the spine to counterbalance
the growing abdomen, open the chest in response to the shoulders rolling forward with the weight gain of the
breasts, and increase strength, stamina and flexibility to prepare the body for labor and delivery. Women who

"Jessica saw me through my first pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Under her instruction I was able to
move through my pregnancy with confidence and very little discomfort. My prenatal yoga practice with Jessica
was the only instruction I used to achieve the drug-free natural childbirth I had envisioned. Her manner is calm
and reassuring and her enthusiasm for her work is unparalleled."
