WHAT PEOPLE SAY: “Love Ma Yoga! It’s individualized, calming, balancing, strengthening and nurturing for both body and the nervous 1st-time mom soul.” - Jacki A. “I started doing Ma Yoga when I was 16 weeks pregnant. It was the best thing I could have done for myself.” - Kali N. “Practicing yoga with my baby next to me is such a rewarding experience – even if I only get to do a few poses, a little goes a long way… Class is challenging, but gentle.” - Michelle P. “I highly recommend these classes to any pregnant woman, but especially yoga-nitwits like me… I always felt a lot better after class than before, more relaxed and with less aches and pains.” - Chelsey S. "I want to say how much I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the Ma Yoga program! I love its flexibility, and the mix of focus and intensity. 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. "I’d give 10 stars if I could! Ma Yoga was a lifesaver to me during the last trimester of my pregnancy last year. I had pretty intense lower back pain and used the 'Happy Back Practice' routine to help relieve the pain and regain mobility.” - Fatimah S.
