Prenatal Yoga Center

PYC is the first yoga center in NYC to focus on the needs and interested of new and expecting parents. Pregnancy is a unique and wondrous time in life.

We offer pre/postnatal yoga, Baby + me and other classes and workshops to help prepare the path into parenthood. As a yoga center we help parents and children openly explore the mind, body, and spirit. Using a three-pronged approach to our teaching, our classes address the aches and pains of pregnancy so students feel better each day, we foster a supportive community of friendship, and we integrate childbirth education into our classes to help the mother be more prepared and empowered for labor, delivery and motherhood. We value:
Physical comfort: Highly trained and educated instructors cater to the anatomical, hormonal, and muscular changes which occur normally in the pregnant body by creating sequences which lessen discomfort so students feel better after each class. Community: We start each class with “circle time”, a time where the women introduce themselves, say how far along they are, and discuss any aches and pains they would like to address in class. Pregnancy and postpartum periods carry such enormous physical and emotional changes;and this bonding time creates a springboard for long lasting friendships among students. Childbirth Education: We interweave childbirth education themes and current birthing trends into our classes. Our intention is that the new mothers will feel more confident and prepared to make conscious, educated decisions during pregnancy, labor, delivery and motherhood. As a resource center, we provide information and education for new parents as their family expands, offering various workshops and lectures that addresses common issues related to pregnancy, early childhood parenting, family dynamics and alternative healing. We look to create a quiet sacred space and community where you and your family can step out of the busy New York lifestyle to find warmth and comfort.

✨Use your BRAIN to help you make decisions about your pregnancy and birth!✨

Throughout pregnancy and labor you will likely face decisions about how your care will progress and be managed. BRAIN is an easy acronym to remember to help you gather information to make informed and empowered choices that are best for you and your baby.

✨Benefits
What are the benefits of this choice? How will this best serve you? What problem will be resolved from the procedure or test or choice you are being offered?

✨Risks
What are risks that come along with this procedure or option? Don’t be shy about asking for information from the medical team to fully explain short term and long term risks.

✨Alternative
If you don’t chose this procedure, test or option, what are the other options? For example, your care provider may offer an induction but you may prefer to try acupuncture first.

✨Intuition
What does your gut tell you about the situation? Nobody knows your body and baby like you do.

✨Nothing
What would happen if you do nothing? What are the risks and benefits of more time? Sometimes just having more time is all your body and baby need.

Have you used the BRAIN acronym? If so, tell me, did it help you?

❤️Learn about other ways to support your body in labor in our Childbirth Education Classes and prenatal yoga classes!

Preparing for birth is a physical marathon, and our prenatal yoga classes are designed to make your pregnancy more comfortable while giving you the functional tools you need for the big day.

By focusing on movements like squatting, which opens your pelvic outlet approximately 28% wider than lying on your back, we help you work with gravity rather than forcing your baby to move “uphill”.

We break down every pose to prioritize your stability and comfort, ensuring you aren’t overstretching ligaments or carrying unnecessary tension in your hips and calves. Whether we’re refining your Warrior I or learning to lift & support your growing baby, every flow is intentional preparation for an active birth.

Check out this preview to see how we move, then click the link in our bio to sign up for a class and start prepping your body for what’s next! If in-person isn’t an option for you, we also offer virtual classes as well!

How do you know when it’s time to push?

Transitioning into the pushing phase is about more than just a cervical check. Your body has an incredible way of signaling when it’s time to bring your baby into the world. Watch for:

The “Grunt”: Involuntary, guttural sounds as your body bears down.
The “Reach”: Instinctively pulling on a squat bar, a headboard, or your partner.�The Pressure: That unmistakable feeling that it’s time to... well, poop💩!

Trust your instincts, they know exactly what to do! 🕊️

For more resources, we offer Childbirth Education classes at PYC both IN PERSON & VIRTUALLY. We’d love to have you!
