What families say

I started taking Melissa’s prenatal yoga classes when I was 24 weeks pregnant and it was by far the best decision I could have made during my pregnancy! I even continued to take her classes until I was 41 weeks.

★★★★★ — Missy, 2017-08

I enrolled in prenatal yoga at around week 15 and went through week 39. Every week, I looked forward to coming into class to take time for myself. I learned so much about my body and the changes it was going through and met some amazing people. Melissa is an amazing resource for all things pregnancy.

★★★★★ — Christina, 2018-07

I signed up for Melissa's prenatal classes when I was eight weeks pregnant and took them right through week 39 (when I delivered). While this was my second pregnancy, I feel like I forgot what it was like to be pregnant and her classes taught me to take time for myself once a week...

★★★★★ — Rachel, 2017-10

I’m so thankful for having gone to Melissa’s prenatal yoga classes. In my childbirth experience, I was able to keep my breathing controlled during contractions and during my c-section, which really helped me to stay calm and focused. I also did my best to monitor my body for tension points to better relax myself.
