Prenatal Yoga is specifically designed for the pregnant woman. The class is appropriate for all stages of pregnancy. No previous yoga experience is necessary. In prenatal yoga you can expect to practice poses and breath to:

• Ease the discomforts of pregnancy

• Improve the ability to relax and concentrate

• Tune in and respond to your body’s needs

• Get to know your baby and build confidence in your ability to give birth

• Help prepare you for the childbirth process

Ann Fautsch is a certified yoga instructor with an additional certification in prenatal yoga. In her own words: "I came to the practice of yoga as a means to relieve stress. Along the way I discovered a practice that engages me mentally, physically and spiritually. I find the practice of yoga to be a natural complement to my 39 years of work as a Registered Nurse in the Dubuque Community. As a yoga teacher I hope to share my passion for yoga through practices that engage the students to find their breath, mental focus, physical strength and spirituality. I completed my Yoga Teacher Certification in 2009 and an additional certification in prenatal yoga in November 2015."
