Ma Yoga Anytime Prenatal Yoga

Ma Yoga is a uniquely strengthening, therapeutic, and uplifting method of yoga of pregnancy, postpartum & beyond.

Because its alignment based and was developed in a hospital setting with OBs and Midwives, it's infused with simple but transformative cues to help baby move into optimal position, and help mama prepare for labor.

It helps moms reconnect to their core and release tense shoulders and neck.

And it helps anyone relieve aches and pains, support healing, and transform anxiety to calm, clear, connection to your true self.

Our highly trained and experienced pregnancy and yoga experts will gently challenge your body while stabilizing joints, aligning your spine and grounding your energy so you feel stronger and steadier - even as baby and body get bigger and heavier.

We'll help you make space for baby in body, mind and heart so your transition is empowering and transformative.


WHAT MAKES MA YOGA DIFFERENT?

Ma Yoga classes are so different from youtube - we know that you can be hurting yourself on the mat, or healing while you're driving.

Ma Yoga for Pregnancy, Postpartum & Beyond is based on biomechanical and energetic alignment principles that apply to ALL bodies - but especially women's changing bodies.

It's rarely the pose that matters, it's what you're doing inside that makes the difference. As you move your thighs back you'll bring watery energy into the pelvis and release tight hip muslces; as you hug your shoulder blades you'll find strength and an open heart.

THE ROOTS OF MA YOGA

More than 18,000 women have experienced a transformative journey to postpartum and beyond in "Ma Circles" in Southern California, as well as online.

Developed in collaboration with OBs, midwives, breastfeeding consultants and others at Kaiser Permanente, Ma Yoga® incorporates both Western biomechanics and Eastern practices that will help you reconnect to your power and wisdom.

The “Ma” in Ma Yoga means “mother” in just about every language.

In Sanskrit, it also means the highest, most powerful and wise - like “Ma Kali”, the mother of all goddesses.

Ma Yoga isn’t just about learning to become a mom to a baby - it's about learning to mother yourself, and embodying highest, most powerful & wise "Ma" Self.

My first video was a simple 15-minute moon salutation and, on a night where something longer felt overwhelming, having that option to do just a little helped so much." - Emilie C.

“When I became pregnant a second time, as a working mom with a 1 year old at home, I knew there would be no chance of making it to 5:30 yoga practice so I joined the Ma Yoga Living community so I could practice at home after my son went to bed. i really appreciated the ability to pick a session based on length of time I had to practice.” - Elizabeth R.

“The instructors are knowledgeable and confident. I only wish I had this when I was pregnant!” - Kelsey D.
