    Imagine
    Imagine entering the birthing process with a set of powerful techniques that give you a new found freedom to transform the experience of labor and child birth by tuning into and accessing your body’s innate wisdom. These techniques are based on ancient teachings and modern scientific practices that support the psychology and physiology of the birthing process.

    By preparing for the birth of your baby with yoga, you will:

    • Become an empowered part of the process
    • Reduce the discomfort
    • Tap into your bodies innate wisdom effortlessly and instinctively during the birth process

    No Experience is Needed
    Abigail can work with you whether you are an experienced yoga student or totally new to yoga. Prenatal yoga does not require any special training, flexibility, strength or skill. We work with each individual at her own pace.

    The series is open to all stages of pregnancy.

    Additional Benefits
    Prenatal yoga strengthens and tones muscles that are stressed by the physiologic changes of pregnancy. It targets muscle groups specific to the childbearing process, teaching you to relax and work with your body. You will experience and get comfortable with positions that will ease your labor and help you work with gravity. Pregnancy discomforts such as nausea, low back aches, constipation and swelling will lessen. Your sleep patterns will improve and general feelings of well-being will increase.

    What's being said about "On Being and Becoming" Yoga Seminars:

    Abigail is an accomplished yogini with a sublime artist's sensibility. I left her workshop "On Being and Becoming" feeling nourished, and enriched with insights and tools to help me continue to nourish myself and my family. Her explanations of physiology and brain science added a unique dimension to the yoga workshop, and practical wisdom that I have found useful in my daily life and relationships. I am looking forward to continuing my studies with Abigail for years to come! CW 2011

    Abbie's workshops and classes go to the heart of yoga. She takes a multi-dimensional approach -- through alignment-based asana, pranayama, mantra, meditation, spiritual and personal reflection -- to the task of seeking peace and unity in life. She is gentle and challenging at the same time. Abbie is an inspiration. TJ 2011

    Abigail provides the most nourishing and nurturing environment for her On Being and Becoming Series. This series is a profound combination of inner work allowing grace and movement to stimulate our core feminine qualities. This is something I've needed to cultivate and understand at a deeper level so it can flourish in my life and life's work. Abigail holds each of us in such a loving way that I feel enriched with each session beyond words. Abigail's wisdom and knowledge in yoga, health and wellness, mudras, sound healing (to name a few areas explored) is filled with the deepest integrity while honoring each and every one of us as we explore and grow at our own unique level. This is true nourishment at it's best. ..... Katherine Stein Veritas Healing 2011

    What Mothers say about Yoga Birth Right Prenatal Yoga and Yoga Based Childbirth Classes:

    ...Thank you for all your support and guidance through this process. It is funny, I am not fearful anymore, but looking forward to this incredible journey with my baby, that is not what I thought a few months ago. I can’t really put into words how much impact and help you have been – it has opened me up to an amazing path with my birth and beyond. You have inspired me to a new level and I am so thankful to have you as a resource, Thank You!" L. D. 2010

    ..."We made it through 100% natural! The prenatal yoga sessions that we had with you were the key to our success! That Saturday (couples) session was so relaxing and intimate for both of us. It turned out to be our last weekend before delivery, and it was the perfect way to transition to our role as new parents. Once my water broke, we put in to practice so many of the things you taught us during the private couples course. I was in active labor for over six hours and pushed for almost two. The relaxation techniques and the various positions we learned really helped us to focus and work past the pain....... it was a beautiful experience that the two of us shared." Louann Hodges 10/2010

         ..."While he couples class was informative and entertaining, I felt that Abigail gave us so many new tips and ways of thinking about labor and delivery that I am much more prepared than I ever would have been from a standard childbirth education class." C.L. 2009
