I am so thankful for this yoga community and Marissa. Prana has been a huge part of my both my pregnancy journeys and chapters of becoming a mom, then a mom of 2. The prenatal classes, the workshops, meeting new moms and the yoga classes that are supportive of my postpartum body are everything to me.

Fantastic place to take both virtual and in person yoga. I began by taking the virtual classes, which were informative and restorative. I also took them in person outside. I cannot imagine a more beautiful setting for a prenatal yoga class. The outdoor classes overlook the water. I also recommend their birthing ball workshop. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite things to tell anyone pregnant about is this amazing resource! I didn't live in the area for my first pregnancy but was able to attend prenatal yoga here with my second and the difference was night and day. I took both Prana Birthing and Yoga for Labor and entered labor being able to tap into a level of relaxation I did not know was possible. Following delivery this group continues to have your back - with a variety of classes, work shops, a commitment to identify needs, and with an open and creative mind on ways to accommodate them. So grateful to have discovered this gem.

I started taking prenatal yoga to reduce my stress and the anxiety associated with preparing to become a first time mom. I’ve gotten so much more from these ladies. This yoga studio encourages a community of support and wellbeing. I’ve taken yoga classes with Dee, Allegra and Jillian so far, as well as The Breastfeeding Workshop and Yoga for labor workshop. I learned so much from these workshops. They are all wonderful, knowledgeable and very attentive instructors. I recently gave birth to my little one and I’m planning to return to Prana Yoga as soon as I can. I highly recommend this yoga studio.

Prana Prenatal is an incredible studio and resource for expecting parents, moms and dads alike. For mommas there are of course prenatal yoga classes, but for couples there are also workshops like Yoga for Labor that promote the union between birth partners and the laboring mother. Great classes, great teachers. I've been extremely impressed and have attended for the last 5 months of my 2nd pregnancy. With only 7 weeks to go, I will definitely be back for post-birth classes and offerings.

I cannot say enough good things about Prana Yoga. The classes offered helped provide me with the stress relief, relaxation and knowledge I needed to get through my pregnancy. From Prenatal, to Yoga for Labor and now Mommy and Me they have classes to meet every need. The teachers are welcoming, supportive and encourage a wonderful sense of community to let me know that I'm not alone in the journey of new motherhood. Do yourself a favor and take one of the many incredible classes offered and you will be hooked!

Hi! I just want to let you know how thankful I am for this community of mamas and yoga teachers. I wish I had started sooner! I have had amazing experiences with each of the teachers and leave with positive feelings about my (first!) pregnancy each time. Yesterday, after having my first “tough” pregnant day, I attended Roxane’s class, and left feeling like everything would be ok! She taught an amazing class, and I just felt so supported by her - physically and mentally. Thank you, thank you, thank you Prana Yoga!

Prana's classes are awesome. The instructors are so compassionate and connect with participants. The classes helped a lot with pregnancy aches and pains - they were an absolute necessity! I would recommend Prana and their classes to everyone, especially pregnant and postpartum moms.

I am so glad I found this yoga studio. I haven’t been to any of the in person classes yet, so I can’t speak to those, but I have been doing virtual pre-natal yoga for the last four months. It is really hard being pregnant during this time, it has felt lonely and isolating, but being able to connect with other pregnant people through this community has helped me so much. The classes I have attended are beginner friendly, and are a gentle restorative based yoga that really helps with the aches and pains of pregnancy. Marissa is wonderful yoga teacher and I highly recommend checking out her classes. Seriously have so much love and gratitude for this community!

I started taking Dee’s Saturday prenatal classes when I was 13 weeks pregnant until I gave birth at 39 weeks. I had taken a few yoga classes here and there before, but would classify myself as a beginner. The class was always taught with the notion that everyone is at different skill levels, and Dee would offer modifications to make poses more or less challenging. With that being said, we always worked at 70% capacity and were encouraged to take water breaks, child’s pose, or even nap whenever needed. From the beginning of my pregnancy, I learned skills to have a calmer mind and body which I attribute my speedy labor to. The class environment was always welcoming and tailored to meet the needs of the individuals as well as the entire group that day. If many women were feeling lower back pain, for example, Dee would ensure we did plenty of poses to help stretch and strengthen that part of our body. I always left class with a few new tricks up my sleeve that were easy to implement into my everyday life. I became more aware of my body than ever before. The hour long class was truly time to nurture our body and mind. I felt comforted in her class by learning what the other expectant moms were going through at different stages of their pregnancies and easily became friends with these mamas. The studio naturally fosters connections and relationships between all of the women. My husband and I also took Dee’s ‘Yoga for Labor’ class. We learned tips & tricks to help us if we needed to labor at home for long hours, how to help ease the pain of back labor, and how our partners could help us through the process. On the morning I went into labor, my husband really used some of the things Dee taught him about ways to help me breathe calmly. What I found most helpful about this workshop was the time we spent learning how to stay calm. Dee often says “1..2..3...Relax, relax, relax...” and I found myself saying this mantra to myself throughout my pregnancy (and still now!) Dee taught us about how our mind and body are connected- which for me reinforced how important it would be to stay calm. As soon as I was cleared by my doctor, I couldn’t wait to get to the Mommy & Me classes. I loved being reconnected with the familiar faces at prenatal yoga. Some days I did not get much yoga in, as it is encouraged to tend to your baby as needed (feed them, change them, etc) but that was okay because I got out of the house and did something for myself! I never once felt like if my baby was fussing I was ruining the class experience for others. The class is taught specifically to strengthen your post baby body in safe ways. Both Dee & Judi are wonderful with the babies- they have a calming effect on them I swear! Most days, all of the moms and babies will grab lunch after class together, which is a great way to bond and discuss the new challenges we all face as mothers. This has been invaluable to me. We asked them to add Sunday classes so we could still attend once we went back to work and they figured out how to do it- the instructors are truly always looking to help out the little community we have built and support our village of moms. I attend Mommy & Me classes with Dee & Judi, which all have been wonderful. (Judi gives the most relaxing little head massage at the end of class!) I also took Sarah’s Pelvic Floor workshop. This class was very informative and taught me more about my post natal body than I ever knew before. I found the class to be more discussion based than yoga based, but we learned how to use yoga poses and breathing techniques to strengthen our pelvic floors. Once you take a class at Prana, you are invited to join a private Facebook group. This is another way for everyone to connect, ask for advice/recommendations, share articles, or simply get some words of encouragement and support when needed. I cannot speak highly enough of the teachers, classes, or community at Prana!
