Prenatal Yoga
Make-up Policy

Make-ups for classes missed due to student absence are offered within the session in Sandy Courtney’s Svarooopa classes on Mondays mornings 10:30 to noon, and on Mondays evening from 5:45 to 7:15 pm.

Prenatal with Svaroopa Yoga:
(Newcomers always welcome.)

Svaroopa Yoga decontracts areas of habitual tension and holding, especially in the sacrum, tailbone and low back. It facilitates flexibility by releasing the body into support rather than by exertion. Poses are held with emphasis on skeletal alignment, awareness and breathing. This inward focused, meditative approach to yoga uses props to bring you into deep angles that open the body at its core. This style of yoga is especially suited for pregnancy due to its emphasis on spinal alignment, hip opening, and stress reduction.

We are wishing Carol a speedy and thorough recovery from her shoulder injury.

Prenatal Yoga will be taught by Sandy Courtney on Thursday night at 5:45 pm, still 1 1/2 hours, $15/class, in the Svaroopa style of yoga, which is highly beneficial for pregnancy, very inward and calming, and focusing on spinal alignment and hip opening.

About Svaroopa® Yoga with Annette Bongiorno

             Annette was first introduced to Svaroopa® Yoga in the spring of 2000 as a result of a quest to find something that would quiet her mind and help relieve stress.  After the first class she realized that she found what she was looking for.  The yearning to learn more led her to become a teacher.
In 2006 Annette completed the teacher training program and became a Certified Svaroopa® Yoga Teacher (CSYT).  She is also a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance at the 500 hour level.  She has trained extensively with Rama Berch, the originator of Svaroopa® Yoga and is currently enrolled in Advanced Teacher Training. 
Annette teaches at various yoga studios in the Boston Metro West area.

Helpful Information and Policies for Prenatal Yoga:

Congratulations on your pregnancy! We welcome you.

This class is offered for those who are at least 12 weeks pregnant. We recommend that you speak with your health care provider about your desire to participate in prenatal yoga before attending.
The studio is fully equipped, so you do not need to bring any props or supplies unless desired. Please wear comfortable loose fitting clothes and dress in layers. Spring water is available in both studios.
The standard recommendation is that students refrain from eating 1-2 hours before practicing, but please honor your needs and snack lightly if desired.
We ask that students refrain from wearing perfume and other scents in the studio, as some of our students have chemical sensitivities.

Please check the directions page for landmarks as there is no sign on the street level. We are across the street from the red Sovereign bank sign at 186 Main Street in Marlboro. Main Street is between East Main Street and West Main Street.

Fees will be pro-rated for due dates within the session. If you would like to visit and do a one-time drop-in before registering for the class, the fee is $18. You can then join the remainder of the session at the regular prepaid rate.
If you need to miss your class we encourage you to tune in to the group during class time as you will still be able to reap some of the benefits of being in community with others, and help your body hold on to the habit field of your weekly practice. Make-ups for missed classes are available in Sandy's Monday daytime and evening classes within the session, and not carried over into subsequent sessions.

Please see our policy page for more information about class practicalities before you register. Cancellation policies apply.

Be a Light to the World.
