Prenatal
Prenatal Care
At Namaste, we offer a welcoming, safe, and accessible space for all students. Many of our teachers are trained in prenatal yoga and create an environment that’s supportive and inclusive for expecting parents.
If you're pregnant, we recommend the classes listed on this page. Let your teacher know you're expecting so they can offer you the best support during class.
Simply being present—breathing, moving gently, or resting—is yoga. Prenatal yoga can help you stay connected to your changing body, support your nervous system, build strength and stamina, and nurture your bond with your baby. There are no expectations—only the opportunity to care for yourself.

Somatic Hatha Yoga is an innovative blend of Hatha Yoga, Somatic Experiencing, Pranayama (breathing techniques), and healing meditations.
In this practice, we explore new movement patterns, referred to as “somatic movement flows” that combine classical hatha yoga postures.
This class begins gently and gradually expands into a fully guided practice. You’ll have the flexibility to customize your experience, whether you want to modify or intensify movements.
Somatic Experiencing can help you delve into the root causes of muscular pain, enhance your nervous system resilience, and empower you to reprogram outdated stress patterns stored deep within your body.
Through these therapeutic and corrective exercises, you’ll actively participate in your own whole-being wellness journey.
