Empowered Pregnancy & Birth LLC

Empowered Pregnancy & Birth LLC In these Ankeny-based prenatal yoga classes, I empower pregnant people to tune into their body. I share tips for labor as we move through gentle yoga poses.

I, Melissa Schnurr (she, her), am a certified prenatal yoga teacher, childbirth educator, and birth doula. In these Des Moines and Ankeny-based prenatal yoga classes, I empower pregnant people to tune into their bodies, babies, and breath. Each 75 minute class begins with time to chat with others about a topic related to pregnancy, birth, or parenthood. Each class ends with a few minutes of relaxation. EVERY (pregnant) BODY can benefit from participating in these prenatal yoga classes.

Research has moved away from the idea that sugary snacks and cold drinks are a good way to get your baby to move. A baby’s movement is best monitored without interventions like juice, candy, ice water, etc.

If your baby isn’t moving like normal, you should get checked out right away.
