Urban Mamas

Hello PORTLAND-PREGNANT ladies! I am starting a PRENATAL WORKOUT class on Monday afternoons! We will focus on strength, flexibility, balance and a bit of cardio. Please check out my website for more information about me. www.urbanfitnesspdx.com

I have room for six or seven pregnant ladies so please let me know ASAP if you're interested?!?

Hi Mamas!

My name is Danna and I am a certified yoga instructor, as well as a mama to a two-year old boy and currently 3 months pregnant with baby #2! I teach vinyasa flow at a studio downtown, as well as regular one-on-one sessions with clients, but I would love to start teaching a prenatal yoga class out of my home! We live in the Murrayhill area of Beaverton and since learing I was pregnant, it has come to my attention that there aren't a whole lot of choices when it comes to prenatal yoga in the Beaverton area. 

Prenatal yoga is a great way to build strength and flexibility, as well as cultivate a little bit of peacefulness during your pregnancy. The class would be 75 minutes long and I would ask for a donation of $10-$15 per student. We have a nice big den area with hardwood floors to hold practice on. I am thinking that Saturday mornings at 10 would be a good time, if I could find a few other ladies who would be interested in attending! I would love to get some feedback on this, and if this sounds like something you would be interested in, please send me an email at dannaheydorn@me.com

Hope to hear from some of you Mamas out there! Namaste :)
