Prenatal & Postpartum Yoga: Guided by Experience, Rooted in HealingAt Om Rama Yoga, we believe in the power of movement to support and nurture the body through every stage of pregnancy and beyond. Led by Kristen, a certified holistic birth and postpartum doula with over 15 years of experience teaching yoga, our Prenatal and Postpartum Yoga classes blend these two worlds in a way that promotes healing, connection, and strength for both body and mind.
Kristen’s journey in this field is deeply personal—she has first-hand experience with pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. Through her work as a doula with Doulas of Marquette, Kristen has witnessed how tending to the physical and spiritual body during this transformative time can profoundly impact a person’s experience of pregnancy, birth, and recovery. It was this experience that inspired Kristen to merge the practices of yoga and holistic birth work, creating a space where pregnant people and mothers can experience ease, self-connection, and empowerment.
Prenatal Yoga: Strength, Ease, and ConnectionDuring pregnancy, your body is constantly changing, and it’s important to support these shifts with mindful movement. In our Prenatal Yoga classes, Kristen combines her vast knowledge of yoga and birth to offer:
  • Physical Support: Strengthen your body and alleviate common pregnancy discomforts like back pain, fatigue, and swelling.
  • Breathing and Relaxation: Learn techniques that help you relax, connect with your baby, and prepare your body for childbirth.
  • Postural Awareness: Through focused movement, Kristen helps you find alignment and balance that supports your body through the physical demands of pregnancy.
  • Mind-Body Connection: A holistic approach that honors the emotional, mental, and physical changes you’re going through, creating a deeper connection to your body and baby.
Kristen’s unique understanding of pregnancy and birth ensures that each class is tailored to meet your body’s needs at every stage, helping you feel grounded, empowered, and ready for the journey ahead.
