Staying active and healthy throughout your pregnancy isn’t always easy. Your growing baby may prevent you from participating in programs or lessen your motivation to exercise. Southern New Hampshire Medical Center offers a unique yoga program designed to meet the specific needs of expecting moms.

This program meets once a week and is designed to help you learn postures, breathing, and relaxing techniques tailored to pregnancy and the postpartum period. Core strengthening, flexibility, and self-care techniques are also incorporated throughout the session.
