About Utah Prenatal Yoga

How I ended up here…

Yoga provided a powerful and peaceful respite during my adventure into motherhood. Taking time for a yoga class that I loved helped me stay steady and focused on the big picture. I started teaching prenatal yoga when I was expecting my second son because I was inspired by how yoga had played such an important role in my transition through motherhood and pregnancy. I wanted to create a dedicated space for expecting people to fully connect with the physical and emotional changes that take place during the birth years. My wish is that everybody can find a place that offers support and preparation, an intentional time to connect with strength and intuition while navigating the experience of birth.

I took my first yoga class in 1998 and I have explored and enjoyed various styles of yoga in the years since then. Over time I morphed into a mom and a yoga teacher. My yoga classes incorporate my formal training in Anusara ® (alignment-based hatha) with my appreciation for many other styles of asana and an emphasis on honoring the traditions and philosophy of the yoga practice. Finding the humor in having babies is essential to my sanity, and I sincerely believe that a consistent yoga practice can improve the experience of pregnancy, birthing, and parenting. You can expect a well-rounded and (safe!) practice as well as ample relaxation in my prenatal and postnatal classes.

I’ve been privileged to have many amazing teachers, and I am grateful to every one of them. I am honored to have witnessed so many beautiful humans embrace the fullness of the birth transformation. Most of all I am thankful for the support of my family– I love you bigger than the universe.

I acknowledge that the land on which I live, teach studio classes and conduct virtual trainings from, is the occupied/unceded/seized territory of the Ute (Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱), Goshute , and Eastern Shoshone People.
