QNRT is a powerful modality for people who feel stuck despite “doing all the things” for their mental health. It explores the connection between our brain and our body, as it relates to trauma. Any unresolved emotional stress—past or present—affects the nervous system in an adverse way that may lead to physical, mental, and emotional breakdown.
QNRT may also support the mind/body changes that naturally occur postpartum including the chronic feeling of being in “go, go, go mode” or the inability to fully relax. If this sounds like you, feel free to reach out to learn more.
In our prenatal classes, we strive to build community, educate, and make your pregnancy as comfortable as possible by addressing any aches or pains in your body. Yoga postures are used with a mindful exploration to leave you feeling more prepared for whatever lies ahead in your pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
These classes are open to all trimesters, and are offered three times a week. Whether you are new to yoga or have an established practice, you will enjoy specific movements designed to bring energy and stability to the pregnant body. For the most up-to-date class offerings visit our studio schedule.
