Babies in utero are very sensitive to their mother’s thoughts, actions and overall well being. The benefits of prenatal yoga go beyond a healthy pregnancy, directly affecting the growth and development of the baby. The womb is the baby’s temple, by practicing prenatal yoga the mother is purifying and energizing this temple with love and light.

But most importantly, she has taught me to live with compassion for myself and for others." Heather taught me to get rid of my anxiety and fears of birth, and because I suffer from chronic asthma she was especially helpful in helping my with breathing techniques.
