Nothing could have prepared
Your heart to open like this.
From beyond the skies and stars
The echo arrived inside you
And started to pulse with life
"Blessing for a Mother-to-Be" by John O'Donohue
Prenatal yoga is a beautiful way to move, stretch and strengthen your pregnant body while building a heart-centered connection to your baby (and to your community!). Join us for prenatal yoga to learn practices, tools and techniques to help you connect with your growing baby, address the common physical symptoms associated with pregnancy, prepare for labor and birth, and relax and calm the mind. More specifically, you will learn:
- A full range of adapted yoga postures to provide comfort, build stability and support the physical changes happening in your body.
- Breathing practices to promote calm or boost vitality as needed to support you during this time.
- Pelvic floor practices to promote healthy tone and flexibility.
- Physical movements including hand gestures/mudras and simple but profound meditations to tend to your emotions and spirit.
- Deep relaxation and healing practices to relieve exhaustion.

Amélie Gislot
Amélie is a French mom who moved to the USA in 2018. After a decade of trying to conceive with the assistance of hormonal treatments, she decided to attend a yoga retreat. Upon returning home her body re-established its natural rhythms and a month later, she was pregnant. Since that transformative experience, she has continued practicing yoga through pregnancies, postpartum challenges, and even postpartum depression. Yoga has been her constant companion, whether practiced alone or with her children, whenever she can find a moment amid the whirlwind of motherhood. Her goal is to help others find balance and strength in their lives through the power of yoga.
As a certified yoga instructor and fitness professional, she is deeply committed to promoting the mind-body connection and supporting others on their personal journeys. She holds certifications in 200-hour yoga teacher training, 85-hour prenatal yoga teacher training, and a 20-hour postpartum yoga teacher training.
