Prenatal Medical Therapeutic Yoga
Hello yogi-mamas!
I’m thrilled to be teaching a Prenatal Medical Therapeutic Yoga (MYT) class starting October 24th!
If we haven’t had the chance to meet yet, my name is Roma and I’m a physio-yogi at OC3! As a yoga lover, I’m passionate about guiding my clients to a deeper level of healing and prevention through mindful movement.
I chose to study Medical Therapeutic Yoga (MTY) because of its one-of-a-kind evidence-based teaching for medical professionals who all share a foundation of knowledge in the human body. The training combines modern research in anatomy, biomechanics, physiology and eastern medicine to create a safe and sustainable practice that will evolve and grow with you!
Why do yoga during pregnancy?
Pregnant women who practice yoga :
- Improve their labour and delivery outcomes
- Reduce their perceived pain, stress, anxiety sleep disturbances
- Lessen their risk of premature birth, and
- Enjoy shorter labor duration

Details
The Prenatal Medical Therapeutic Yoga class will consist of both strengthening and deliciously relaxing postures together with breathing techniques and meditation. My intention is to create a practice to nurture and prepare your body through the seasons of pregnancy and that feels good so you can be your most vibrant self. Small class sizes will allow for personalized modifications and guidance.
