This is my second pregnancy and having a 19 month old at home means little time for any focus on the mind and body. However, if you can manage to get an hour and a half to yourself once a week to attend a prenatal yoga class it is worth it! Most of us suffer from backaches and leg cramps especially in the third trimester of pregnancy. Yoga is a great way to relieve some of these things as well as help clear your mind. I did yoga all through my first pregnancy and just the third trimester and if you are having a low risk pregnancy its worth trying. Saturday morning is daddy and daughter time while mommy sneaks out for a couple hours to yoga.
When I first started prenatal yoga in 2011 there were only a couple studios in Portland with regular classes of prenatal yoga, since then, they have been popping up all over. I compiled a short list of some local yoga studios in the area offering regular prenatal classes. I am sure there are other hidden gems in town as well. I have only attended Yoga Pearl but I have heard many good things about many of these others.
