All women, including pregnant women, are welcome in the Monday night Women’s Class. The Alcove offers a unique opportunity for pregnant women in Houston. Stretch and strengthen your growing body safely in the company of other women. Pregnant women from the Women’s Class report that prenatal yoga helps them lessen back ache and fatigue, aids digestion, and improves the quality of sleep. Many have used the techniques from pranayama to put themselves into a meditative state during labor and delivery.
The women’s dinner circle offers freshly prepared, tasty and nutritious vegetarian fare. Some of the recipes are found here, by popular request, on our Blog. Many of the women form friendships in class that extend beyond the births of their children.

- Introductions and Updates ,10-15 minutes
