Have a healthy pregnancy!

Kelowna Yoga Hub welcomes expecting mothers to join this Prenatal Yoga and Maternity Support Series, where we’ll explore a variety of topics surrounding pregnancy, labour, and motherhood – with the guidance of maternity specialists – along with a gentle yoga class.

Each class starts with an invitation to ask questions and share experiences. Sessions will be guided by yoga teacher (and new mom) Stephanie Mathura and/or maternity specialists (see below for details). Then we’ll find our space on the mat to engage in gentle movements and poses – safe for all stages of pregnancy.
