I went to my first prenatal yoga class last night. It was a pretty small class, maybe 7 women. There was one other woman who was probably between 4-5 months and everyone else was quite pregnant (looking, at least). I was not really sure what to expect, but it was surprisingly enjoyable. It definitely wasn't physically challenging in the way the classes I usually take are...but it was nice to get a stretch and time to relax. The owner of the studio is due next week, so we chatted a bit about being pregnant and active. The most enjoyable aspect of the class was being able to chat with other pregnant ladies.
The teacher was a substitute, and next week they go back to the regular prenatal yoga instructor. Apparently the regular teacher does a lot of exercises focused on breathing and holding things for a long time in order to get used to pushing through the pain of childbirth. Sounds intriguing, so I am definitely going to go back next time.
