Prenatal yoga is more than just gentle movement, itโ€™s a supported practice that benefits both body and mind during pregnancy. By combining mindful breathing, stretching, and controlled poses, it helps reduce cortisol, the stress hormone, promoting a calmer and more balanced state. This reduction in stress not only supports the motherโ€™s well-being but also positively influences the developing baby.
Physically, prenatal yoga strengthens the core, back, and pelvic muscles, improves flexibility, and enhances endurance โ€” all crucial for labor. Conscious breathing techniques learned during yoga help manage pain and tension during contractions, allowing mothers to remain focused and calm.
Beyond the physical benefits, prenatal yoga nurtures emotional resilience and confidence. It encourages mindfulness, body awareness, and a deeper connection with the baby, helping expectant mothers feel empowered and prepared for the journey of childbirth.

Have you ever tried prenatal yoga?

Just playing" is serious business when it comes to child development! ๐Ÿงฉ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ

At Breathing Space, we believe playโ€”or Lilaโ€”is a core value that helps children experience joy and build resilience. For educators and specialists, incorporating games isn't just about fun; itโ€™s an evidence-based way to build a student's proprioception, social-emotional skills, and focus.

Join our upcoming Professional Development Workshop:
๐Ÿ“ Topic: Yoga Games & How to Create Your Own
๐Ÿ“… Date: This Saturday, Jan 10 | 2:00 PM โ€“ 4:00 PM
๐ŸŽ“ Who it's for: Current yoga teachers (earn CEUs!), occupational therapists, school counselors, or anyone interested in teaching kids yoga.

Learn how to design activities that meet kids where they are, whether you're in a classroom, gym, or studio.

Did you know that "play" is actually a core value here at Breathing Space? ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™‚๏ธโœจ

In Sanskrit, we call it Lila. While it looks like weโ€™re just having fun, our yoga games are evidence-based tools designed to help kids: โœ… Build emotional resilience โœ… Develop focus and body awareness โœ… Manage big feelings through movement

We don't believe yoga has to be perfectly still to be powerful. It just has to be joyful.

Happening This Week:
๐Ÿ“ Winter Semester Starts! We have a few spots left for kids crawling through age 15. Check our "Winter Classes" highlight for the full schedule.

Winter can be hard on kids โ€” disrupted routines, increased stress, and more exposure to illness.

Yoga supports regulation, rest, and resilience by helping kids manage stress, sleep better, and stay connected to how their bodies feel.

Tools that actually workโ€”grounded in child development, movement science, and real classroom experience.

Our Kids Yoga Teacher Winter Workshop Series is designed for new and continuing instructors, educators, and caregivers who want practical, adaptable ways to support childrenโ€™s focus, regulation, and joy through movement.

Across this series, weโ€™ll explore:

โ€ข Yoga gamesโ€”and how to design your own for different ages and settings

Each workshop is hands-on, developmentally informed, and immediately usableโ€”whether youโ€™re teaching babies, preschoolers, or school-age kids.

Join us this winter and leave with ideas you can bring straight into your classes.

As parents, itโ€™s natural to worry about our children. But sometimes, what feels alarming to us is simply uncomfortable for adults, not dangerous for little ones.
Understanding the difference helps us respond calmly, guide safely, and give our children the confidence to explore the world โ€” without unnecessary fear.

๐Ÿ’ก A gentle reminder: observation and context are everything.

12/24/2025

When everything feels heavyโ€ฆ return to your breath.

Peace doesnโ€™t come from whatโ€™s happening around you โ€” it grows from within โœจ

Practice breathing with your kids and watch how it transforms your entire day.
