Yoga and Movement

Yoga is a science-backed way to support new and expecting mothers experiencing any perinatal mood symptoms alongside any physical discomfort associated with pregnancy and postpartum. Our teachers have special certifications in pregnant and postpartum yoga and teach in small, intimate classes in The Alliance Center’s Great Room.

Movement can provide relief from depression and anxiety, reduce the effects of PTSD, boost concentration and focus, and improve mood. Learn more about the benefits yoga has on mental health.
