Prenatal Yoga Center is here to guide you through the bumps and uncertainties of pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. We understand the physical and emotional challenges you face during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Our classes are designed to ease your daily pregnancy aches and pains and help prepare your body and mind for a smoother, more efficient birth.
No prior yoga experience is needed. Our prenatal classes are designed specifically for pregnancy and meet you where you are. Many students are brand new to yoga.
You can join us at any point in pregnancy. Some students start in the first trimester, others join later. Our teachers offer options so you can practice safely and comfortably no matter where you are.
Our classes are designed to be accessible without being simplistic. You will be guided through options so you can adjust the practice to your energy level, experience, and stage of pregnancy. Classes include yoga asana, functional strength training specifically chosen to support the changing pregnant body, along with mobility, breath work, and relaxation. Many students are surprised by how supported and appropriately challenging the practice feels.
That is very common and exactly what our classes are designed to support. We focus on functional strength, mobility, and relief for areas like the hips, pelvis, back, and shoulders.
Absolutely. Many students come in feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or anxious. Our approach emphasizes education, nervous system support, and community so you feel more informed, supported, and confident over time.
Yes. Community is a core part of the PYC Method. We intentionally create space for connection so you are not just attending a class, you are joining a supportive group of people going through pregnancy alongside you.
Prenatal Yoga Center was the first yoga center in NYC dedicated exclusively to pregnancy and postpartum. Our classes focus on three core elements: building community, preparing your body for birth, and integrating childbirth education so you understand why you’re doing what you’re doing.
