Yoga @ Birth Roots
Birth Roots is pleased to
offer Prenatal Yoga and Baby & Me yoga classes.
Why Yoga?
During pregnancy, childbirth and
parenting, we do not know what will unfold.
Yoga provides an opportunity to
deepen awareness, understanding, and enjoyment in the
integration of body, mind and spirit for pregnancy,
childbirth and parenting. This Yoga is gentle and
restorative, allowing anyone to practice it.
The style of yoga taught by Heather
McDermid is gentle to the body, allowing anyone of any age to practice and
flourish. There is always an emphasis on breath, and
on the energy and alignment of the body throughout. Classes are taught
intuitively, being guided from the heart, with the intention of meeting the
needs of all students.
