Are you meeting that goal?
*The American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists

Exercise in pregnancy helps to reduce backache, constipation, bloating, and swelling, increase your energy, improve your mood, promote muscle tone, strength, and endurance, improve circulation and digestion, and help you sleep better. But it's not just about feeling good--research shows that regular exercise during pregnancy may also help to prevent complications during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes, and can increase your calcium absorption and healthy blood flow to your baby.

And now we know that the benefits are not just limited to pregnancy. Overall, women who maintain a regular program of exercise during pregnancy enjoy increased comfort in labor, shorter labors, and a reduced need for medical interventions (such as forceps and vacuum delivery). And staying active in pregnancy pays you dividends postpartum as well--speeding your recovery, reducing postpartum depression, and making it easier to get back in shape after your baby is born.

A consistent prenatal exercise program is essential to staying low risk and growing your healthiest baby.
At Baby Moon we make it easier than ever to meet this recommendation, with prenatal offerings nearly every day of the week. Because our classes are designed specifically as a preparation for birth, our mamas report that our program helped them more than anything else they did to prepare for labor and a positive birth experience. Commit to your healthy pregnancy now--it is never too late to start with a safe and effective program designed to meet your needs during the childbearing year.

We recommend 2-3 classes per week during pregnancy. You will still need to round out your week with another 3-4 days of walking, swimming, or other safe exercise options for pregnancy. If you are not engaging in activities outside of the studio much, bump up your schedule to 3-4 classes per week and add 2-3 days of walking to your schedule. We offer a complete range of classes from gentle and restorative to strength building workouts. Both pieces are important for balance and stress relief, and both pieces count towards this ACOG guideline. Do this for your baby and for yourself--these 9 months determine so much about the rest of your life!

Our Prenatal Fusion class is a specialty mat class combining elements of yoga, pilates, and prenatal fitness, and is safe and modified for all stages of pregnancy. This blended class will have a faster pace than our Prenatal Yoga classes, and will include breathing, stretching, modified and safe strengthening postures, and core work to strengthen and tone belly, pelvis muscles, low back, and hip stabilizer muscles in particular. Focusing on the stability of the spine and pelvis, Prenatal Fusion may be just what you need to ease discomfort and protect those loose pregnancy joints.

You'll also learn valuable childbirth preparation skills and natural pain coping techniques that will build your confidence in your own birthing abilities. Birth can be active, transformative, and empowering! Dancing for Birth prenatal and postpartum class participants report low levels of discomfort in labor, and high levels of satisfaction during their births.

Dancing for Birth classes are a perfect prenatal and postpartum exercise, improving abdominal tone, control, and awareness, and strengthening hips and pelvic floor. These movements are natural and intuitive for pregnancy and childbirth, and can be useful for moving baby into a good position and relieving the discomfort of labor.

Our postpartum mamas are welcome too, come dance with baby in a wrap or sling (or solo, if you prefer), and get back in touch with those post-pregnancy muscles to dance your way back into a healthy shape.

The best part is, you can't help but have fun!
