The practice of Hatha yoga, when specially designed for the pregnant body, prepares the mother-to-be for the birthing and postpartum experiences.

Prenatal yoga develops strength and stamina, and increased bodily awareness deepens the bond between a mother and her baby.

The regular practice of yoga while pregnant supports those desiring a natural birth. It has been shown to relieve many common discomforts durning pregnancy, and can reduce complications during the birthing process.

Birth, when aided by yoga, can become a relaxed, focused and positive experience.

Throughout her second pregnancy in 2006, Holly maintained her regular asana practice. Relaxed and comfortable, Holly gave birth to her baby daughter naturally and at home, without medical assistance.

Holly views pregnancy as a natural bodily state, and brings calm assurance to her pregnant students.
