“I have been going to Stray Dog Yoga for around 5 years. It is the most wonderful studio to practice. I wanted to give a special review of the Prenatal Yoga classes, especially the instructor Laura Baker. I didn’t start taking classes until around 30 weeks pregnant. Even in just those last 10 weeks, I learned so much to help prepare me for a very intense labor and delivery. Learning different breathing techniques was extremely helpful, I found myself doing them even before after delivery. Laura does an amazing job helping you really tune into your body, ways to stay relaxed, and sending energy to the places it’s needed and conserving energy elsewhere. The exercises and stretches we did in class, I practiced at home, making my labor much shorter. We would discuss different positions to labor in and support equipment that can be helpful for labor/delivery. She has great insight, not only from her training, but from her own birth stories. I highly recommend anyone who is pregnant, to take the prenatal yoga classes and to start as soon as possible. The more you work on these skills and techniques, the easier they are to use in the heat of the moment. During my birth experience, I could hear Laura’s voice in my head, reminding me of how to breath and where to send my energy.
The class also is a great place to interact with other expecting moms, hear their pregnancy experience, and relate to those going through the same things you are. You do not need a yoga practice background to take these classes either, so don’t let that be a reason you don’t go.”
