Be a Centered Mama-to-Be
Prenatal Yoga classes are specially modified for women in any stage of pregnancy. Yoga is a wonderful way to stay fit and relaxed during pregnancy, and increases energy and vitality. You will learn how to breathe more fully, and prepare your body and mind for childbirth. Classes include time for sharing with the other women in the class.
Classes are held at the Prana Center, 21 Charles St., Holliston, MA, which is located just minutes from surrounding towns, including Ashland, Framingham, Hopkinton, Sherborn, Medway, Millis, Medway, Medfield, Milford and Natick.
Teacher: Courtney O'Regan (pictured right and below)
Courtney, a new mom, writes: Every pregnant woman ponders how she will welcome the ultimate challenge of childbirth. Epidural? Morphine? Lamaze? For me, the secret was yoga. I practiced yoga all throughout my pregnancy. The stretching, breathing and centering helped me stay limber, strong and calm through the nine months. On May 4, yoga also helped me during labor. I delivered my baby Camilla naturally with the help of a good midwife - and yoga! I found my drishti (focal point) and used my breath to manage pain. It was amazing how focusing and breathing (as I'd learned in yoga) helped me through some very powerful contractions. As a new mom, I continue to benefit from yoga to manage stress and gently/safely get back into "skinny jeans" shape.

"I have taken two prenatal yoga classes at the Prana Center and it has
been a great experience. I able to build strength and flexibility in a
safe way and connect with other moms. Roberta and Courtney are welcoming
and supportive instructors. I would recommend the prenatal yoga series
to any expecting mother." - Jocelyn Winzer, Holliston
"Courtney's
Prenatal Yoga class has provided me with the ideal environment for
relaxation and opportunity to connect with my new baby. This is my
second pregnancy and "me time" is hard to come by when you're chasing
around a 16-month old all day, every day! This class is just what I
needed to ease and release the stress, tension, and "pregnancy aches"
that come along with the mommy territory, with the added bonus of
keeping my body in shape throughout my pregnancy. I feel calm and
refreshed at the end of each class, which is a direct result of
Courtney's gentle approach and guidance. I enjoyed the prenatal yoga
sessions so much, that I am signing up for the next round!" - Meaghan
A., Holliston
"Thank you so much for all the
time and effort you have put into the prenatal class. The class Sunday
was wonderful; I am still telling people about it today. It is such a
warm, friendly and peaceful environment and I love the sense of
community the center as a whole emanates. I am so grateful to have found
you and your studio.”

I’ve been taking Yoga for
the past few years with Roberta and grown to relish that quiet
meditative state she has created for us in her studio. For that brief
time, I am transported to a place when I am at peace with not only
myself but the world. Now that I am pregnant with my second child it has
become my refuge, the only place where I can feel totally connected to
my body, my mind and my new baby. I am able to fully concentrate on the
other women and share my thoughts, hopes and fears with people in the
same situation as me. We have formed a great bond and I eagerly
anticipate class each week. Thank you Roberta, for
bringing us all together for this amazing journey.
