About me

My name is Molly and I am the owner and instructor of Peaceful and Prenatal. As a perinatal yoga instructor, it is my goal to guide mamas find their breath, balance, and strength during pregnancy and postpartum to feel empowered and in control of their journey. My personal yoga journey started about 10 years ago and led me to taking my yoga teacher training. Along the way, I also become a Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPYT) when I realized there was a lack of perinatal options near me. Since then, I have become heavily involved in perinatal education to provide mamas the best tips, resources, and explanations I can to guide them to feeling empowered during all 4 trimesters.

Frequently asked questions

What does each class entail?

Our classes are designed to stretch, strengthen, educate, and bring peace to your being. Classes are structured to support you during your specific phase of pregnancy or postpartum.

How is this different from a normal yoga class?

While you might think the biggest difference from a traditional yoga class to a class with Peaceful and Prenatal is just avoiding certain poses, that is only one small piece. Each pose is picked specifically to stretch the parts of your body that are commonly achy and strengthen muscles to support you for the next part of your journey (birth, postpartum, parenthood). We include mantra and breathwork that will become a tool for you to easily access on your own so you you feel empowered in all situations in your life. The biggest difference is that these classes will teach you facts about pregnancy and postpartum that often aren’t shared with new and expecting mamas. The goal is to educate you about what’s happening to your body and why so you can take control of your journey.

Do I have to bring my own props to class?

You only have to bring a water bottle and a yoga mat, the rest is provided for you!

When should I start prenatal yoga?

As soon as you find out you’re pregnant, you are welcome to join. I understand that the first trimester brings on fatigue and other not-so-pleasant sensations like heartburn and nausea, and these are all things I can adjust for you into our practice. Most mamas join around 14 weeks when they enter their second trimester and have a return of energy. It all depends on how you feel - listen to your body and join when you feel ready.

I'm late into my pregnancy, when is it too late to join?

It is never too late to join for prenatal yoga! I encourage mamas to continue with classes until they give birth to keep their hips, pelvis, and minds open and ready. At the end of your pregnancy, I will offer options to you to make the practice more accessible to you as it becomes more difficult and tiresome to move.

When should I start postpartum yoga?

Most doctors give clearance to return to exercise around 6-8 weeks postpartum. Depending on your pregnancy and birthing experience, this will change when your body feels ready to return to the mat. Most mamas find themselves ready to return around 10 weeks postpartum, but it is highly individual to each person.

What if I have something I need to be careful of (SPD, diastasis, back pain, etc)?

When you fill out your waiver for class, please include anything you’re dealing with and I will make sure to include cues and options in class that will keep you safe. As a perinatal professional, I have the education, knowledge, and resources to make sure practice is still safe and accessible for you. If you’re working with a PT, you can have them send me your treatment plan and I will include some of the same exercises into our classes as they’ll likely benefit everyone involved.

What makes Peaceful and Prenatal different?

The support you will receive from this class is unmatched anywhere else you’ll go. I take your feedback and wants into consideration when planning each class. If there is something that I am not able to support you with, I will connect you with a local professional who can support you. Best of all, you are not just a participant in a class, you are a member of a community. The friendships that I have seen formed in these classes will help you feel connected to other mamas who are on the same journey as you. You have time to chat before and after class, and you’ll get an invitation to our private FB Group to stay connected outside of the studio.
