With a passion for helping women through their pregnancies, Brittany Pires, 200 E-RYT, offers an empowering and personalized approach to Prenatal yoga. As every body has a different yoga recipe, her style is a blend of teachings that focus on the individual's experience and body awareness, allowing students to tune into sensations of the body rather than the chatter of the mind. While she will offer a general guideline to practicing or teaching prenatal yoga, every woman and every pregnancy is different, and she stresses the importance of using a yoga practice to serve the body and what it needs. Brittany will offer systematic ideas and approaches to empower women in their practice, specifically throughout pregnancy, and for teachers to be well-prepared to offer modifications for pregnant women in their classes.
