Prenatal Yoga

No experience necessary.  If you’ve been curious about yoga, now is your chance to experience the many benefits.

We offer a prenatal yoga class for expectant moms.  This class is designed to prepare your body and mind for labor, birth, and motherhood.  The poses are safe and beneficial throughout pregnancy.

Prenatal Yoga meets on Saturday mornings 9:30-10:30.
The cost for an eight week session is $70.

Yoga for Women

This is a yoga class especially for women.  This class is designed to help women build strength, increase flexibility, reduce stress, and generally feel better.

Yoga for Women meets on Saturday mornings 11:00-noon. 
The cost for an eight week session is $70.

Lamaze Childbirth Class Series

We also have a new option for childbirth education in the Wabash Valley!

A six week Lamaze childbirth class series takes place at the KinderCenter. This class is designed to help you become confident about giving birth.  Tuition is $100 and includes the text:  Prepared Childbirth:  The Family Way.

Here We Go Again, a class for women and their partners preparing to welcome another baby.  This short class will focus on the role of the support person, hands on comfort measures, positions to help labor progress, using your breath effectively in labor and Lamaze’s six health birth practices.  *Note:  if you are pregnant for the first time and have already completed a prepared childbirth class, you are welcome to attend.

Lamaze is so much more than the breathing techniques we are known for.  Lamaze promotes a natural, healthy and safe approach to pregnancy, childbirth and early parenting practices.  Lamaze serves as a resource for information about what to expect and what choices are available during the childbearing years.  This helps to simplify and clarify the childbirth process and alleviate fears.
