For over 14 years, Gilbert Yoga has been the preeminent provider of Prenatal and Perinatal Yoga in the community, offering expertly designed classes that support the physical and emotional well-being of expectant mothers. Medical professionals and prenatal care providers frequently recommend yoga as one of the safest and most effective forms of exercise during pregnancy. It strengthens the body, alleviates discomfort, reduces stress, and prepares mothers for labor and delivery.
Beyond our group classes, we are also proud to offer Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training Certification, led by Mary Peralta (@frommyheart_to_yours), an experienced doula, birth worker, and yoga educator. Whether you are an expectant mother or a yoga professional looking to deepen your expertise, Gilbert Yoga provides the highest standard of prenatal yoga education and training.
The Importance of Prenatal Yoga: Backed by Science and Medical Professionals
Doctors, midwives, and physical therapists consistently recommend prenatal yoga because it is a gentle yet highly effective way to:
Strengthen the muscles needed for labor and delivery
Improve circulation and reduce swelling
Support spinal health and alleviate back pain
Reduce pregnancy-related anxiety and promote emotional well-being
Encourage better sleep and nervous system regulation
As we explored in our previous blog, The Shiva and Shakti Dance: Finding Balance in the Masculine and Feminine Energies, pregnancy is a time of both strength and surrender. Prenatal yoga fosters this balance, helping mothers build resilience while learning to release tension and fear.
