Pre-Natal Yoga - NEW!

Pre-natal yoga helps strengthen the back, legs and pelvic muscles. It improves circulation, aids in digestion, exercises the spine and increase overall comfort. Yoga can also alleviate many of the discomforts of pregnancy: nausea, constipation, varicose veins, swelling, back pain and sciatica.

Taught by Randa Downs, M. Ed., E-RYT-200

Randa has taught yoga since 2003 and considers it to be the ultimate in physical, mental, and emotional therapy. Randa is certified to teach Prenatal Yoga and attributes her healthy pregnancies and natural deliveries in large part to her practice throughout pregnancy. She is truly grateful to have the two best jobs in the universe: raising her children and teaching yoga.
