Prenatal Yoga Classes in the USA
Pregnancy yoga that changes as your body does
The body at twelve weeks and the body at thirty-four weeks need very different classes. Prenatal yoga here is planned trimester by trimester: gentle movement and rest while energy is low early on, more space and support as the bump grows, and breathing and relaxation throughout. It runs only with your obstetrician’s go-ahead.

Pregnancy yoga that changes as your body does
A regular yoga class, even a gentle one, includes lying on the belly, deep twists, hard core work and long periods flat on the back, many of which are unsuitable in pregnancy. Following a video means guessing which to skip. In this track the mentor knows your stage and any advice from your doctor, and every pose is chosen for it.
The USA is our largest community outside India, and it is spread across four time zones, which shapes everything about how we schedule. Most families who write to us are second-generation parents whose own Sanskrit came from a grandparent, and who have realised their children have no equivalent person to learn it from.
Practice adjusted to your trimester, and re-adjusted as you move through it
Only with your obstetrician’s clearance, and within any limits they set
Breathing and relaxation practices for calm through pregnancy
Practise at home, without travelling to a class while pregnant
Batch timings for the USA
Live classes on PST/EST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekend mornings Eastern and Pacific are the two slots that fill first, because they land in the Indian evening and work for both coasts. Weekday batches run at 6:30 to 8:00 PM local on the East Coast. We do not ask a child in California to attend at 5 AM, and if the only slot we can offer you is a bad one we will say so.
Families join us from the Bay Area, New Jersey, Dallas, Seattle, Atlanta and Chicago in the largest numbers. Several batches have ended up entirely North American, which children like, they are learning alongside others in exactly the same position.
What you walk away able to do
A safe, gentle routine suited to your current stage of pregnancy
Slow breathing practices to use when you feel anxious or tired
Awareness of which movements to avoid, and why

Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us who the class is for
Call or WhatsApp us and say who is joining and where they are starting from. For prenatal yoga classes that matters — the mentor pitches the first class to their age, body and experience.
2. Personal guidance from a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with you for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class and batch of ours.
3. Pick a slot that fits your week
We place you in a batch scheduled for PST/EST, around work, family and daily routine rather than across them.
“Living in California, we worried our kids would lose their roots. The online Shloka and Gita classes changed that. They chant every morning now, and understand what the words mean.”
Prenatal Yoga Classes in the USA, FAQs
No, and no class can promise that. Many women find gentle movement and breathing help them feel calmer and more comfortable, but delivery depends on many factors your medical team manages.
