After 12 years of birth work I’m finally becoming a part of this amazing team of mothers in a brand new way. I’m crossing the threshold, entering a new world.
I plan to pause weekly Prenatal Yoga Classes for a few months after class on Friday November 15, 2024 and come back to teaching weekly Prenatal Yoga classes as of spring 2025.
