This Indieflow Partner Yoga Restorative class was originally created for expecting mothers and their partners to foster a deep sense of trust and connection before baby arrives. This class, however, is a beautiful practice for anyone wishing to create that deeper connection with their partner.

It is recommended that you watch this video in segments. See how to get into and out of one posture, listen to the instructions, then PAUSE the video to do the pose. Spend as long in each posture as you wish. Poses are intended for each partner to enjoy the more restorative part* so be sure to switch before moving on to the next posture!

* For a Prenatal practice, please note that the expecting mother is generally the one who enjoys the restorative aspect while her partner acts as the base.

** For a Postnatal practice, partners can switch, please be aware that a mother who has recently given birth is still working to regain core strength and stability.

Kristen loves to engage with yogis and to help you grow. As you practice this class, and any of the IndieFlow yoga classes on YogaDownload, if anything comes up for you, you are invited to leave a comment or question, in the reviews section and she will respond!

"Trust is a state of least resistance. I trust the intelligence of my body. I allow my pregnancy and my birth to unfold as they are meant to."

Yoga improves pregnancy, and not only at the level of the physical body; yoga transcends all levels of our being. Practicing yoga during pregnancy allows the mother-to-be to find strength in trust and acceptance of the course of her pregnancy and her birth. In this class, Kristen skillfully guides you through a well-rounded active class with postures that are safe and modified for your body in all stages of pregnancy. We build strength while preparing the body for birth. Planks and "mini-chatturangas" add an element of upper body strength, and a good amount of squatting is woven throughout the class. With precise alignment cues, you will enjoy sun salutations coordinated with breath to pick up the pace, some strengthening standing postures, followed by hip opening to relieve tension around the hips and low back. After your practice, you will feel stronger, more energized, more open. Your body and your spirit will thank you.

Do you want to practice yoga, but don't feel you have the energy? This gentle class will guide you to listen to your body, enjoy your baby and still move through yoga poses. Great for the first trimester if you're not feeling so well, and third trimester when you are moving very slowly but still want to practice. Give yourself the gift of slow breaths, gentle postures and time to bond with you and baby!

This prenatal class is designed for pregnant mamas of all stages. Create space in your body so that you can alleviate back pain, reduce tightness and tension, and minimize other pregnancy discomforts such as low energy, swelling and nausea. Work on strength and flexibility so that you'll stay healthy and balanced during your pregnancy.

Want a faster, safer birth? Want a more comfortable pregnancy? Some of the main causes of unplanned Cesareans are a tight Psoas muscle, a posterior baby, resting in a recliner, and an unbalanced pelvis. If you sit at a desk, drive in a car, or rest in your recliner, you need to take this class. Ease back pain, and help position your wombmate with hip openers, Psoas stretches, forward leaning poses, and a bit of Vinyasa flow. Tune into your body, your mind, and your baby.

Whether you're an experienced yoga practitioner, or you're brand new to yoga, this Prenatal Yoga Flow with Liza Janda gives you the poses, breathing, and practice to help you create and enjoy the healthiest pregnancy possible . This class is part of a daily practice, which can lead you to a more comfortable pregnancy. Practicing yoga 3 times a week in pregnancy can help ease back pain, shorten labor, lessen labor pain, grow a healthier baby and prevent some pregnancy complications in the mother.*

Whether you have desired this pregnancy for a long time or find yourself happily surprised, pregnancy is a time of great transformation and change that carries significance for our lifestyle, careers, family, physical body and identity. At times, these transformations help us connect to our creative power as a woman and we feel strong and deeply grounded. At other times, we are caught in a web of prenatal tests, concerned relatives, nausea and exhaustion and wonder how we will make it through. This gentle Matrika Prenatal Yoga practice is designed to nurture and support you at any stage of pregnancy. It’s just what you need at the start of a new day, the end of a long day or to help you refresh and rejuvenate at any time of day.

What is Prenatal Yoga?
Prenatal yoga is a carefully designed program of physical poses for strength and flexibility, breathing exercises, visualization and meditation techniques and relaxation skills that have evolved out of various yoga traditions through the innovation, experience and creativity of yoga practitioners and teachers. This practice is designed to address specific pregnancy issues and concerns: fear, anxiety, exhaustion, physical aches, relationships (intimate, family, career, etc.) and more. Finally, prenatal yoga practices are also designed to support a confident and intimate relationship between mother and baby before birth.

What does ‘Matrika’ Mean?
The Matrika is the vibration of truth that resides in the central channel of the body. The central channel is a line of energy that runs through the center of your body from the crown of your head to about three finger-widths beneath your navel. This is not a truth that can be spoken, discovered or refined. It is what you carry with you through all time. While you are pregnant your baby is literally bathed in this vibration creating one of the most intimate and true communications you will ever have with another human being. While the human ear is not capable of hearing the sound of this vibration, your baby can feel it and your yoga practice helps to open this space and bring you into alignment with that which is most true to you. Matrika Prenatal Yoga is designed to help clear the central channel so you can access this vibration, keep it clear and help connect with your baby through light, sound and feeling.
