Prenatal Yoga in Orange County

My belly is growing bigger daily, my body is starting to ache a bit more & my "normal" exercise routine is getting more uncomfortable daily. Luckily, one aspect of of exercise regime doesn't have to change... my yoga practice. In fact prenatal yoga is often encouraged because it helps you learn to breathe deeply & relax - something that will come in handy in the next the couple of months!

Baby Center has some great tips regarding prenatal yoga: "Seek out an instructor who is specifically trained in prenatal yoga, but if that's not possible, make sure your instructor knows you're expecting... Be aware, that your slowly expanding girth will affect your sense of balance. Don't try to hold poses for a long time, and remember to sink into yoga positions slowly & carefully to avoid injury. Take your time and don't overdo it. During the second-trimester avoid lying flat on your back now, too, to keep blood flowing properly to your uterus."

Looking for something you can do from home? Check out THESE yoga poses that are recommending during pregnancy, or try THIS DVD.

I did Bikram Yoga in Costa Mesa during my pregnancy - it felt great!

my name is Dana Sara. I have been teaching yoga for over 28 years. I have been teaching pre-natal yoga for 13 years.
I have two children of my own, amazing pregnancies and deliveries. Labor for my son was less than an hour.

I have opened a yoga/martial arts school in Laguna Beach,

Can you let me know how to move forward together.
