Pre-natal Yoga: A Gift to Expecting Mothers Elevate Yoga of Hazlet is excited to announce their offering of prenatal yoga to the community. While pregnancy can evoke much worry, anxiety, and nervousness, prenatal yoga can transform pregnancy into a positive and tranquil experience. There is no better gift than the feeling of empowerment and serenity, and a supportive community to share the experience of this special time.

Physically, prenatal yoga will help build lower body strength, increase blood flow to the mother and her baby, and alleviate back pain often associated with pregnancy. It can also improve lung capacity by teaching mothers to breathe into their side ribs. Mentally, prenatal yoga will create a balance of emotional and spiritual peace. Elevate Yoga offers prenatal class at 10:30am every Sunday morning with Cornelia Mazzan.

“I believe the body, mind, and spirit of the mom affect the growing baby, and since the word yoga means union–a flowing connection between our minds, bodies, and spirits–pre-natal yoga can foster this connection between the mom and baby as well,” explains Mazzan, who is certified in both pre-natal and baby & me yoga, and is a Reiki Master.

Pregnancy is a very special, transformative time in a woman’s life. In her pre-natal classes, Mazzan shares this knowledge with women, reminding them not only of their strength but also of their calm center, and encourages them to share their experiences. Cutting through ingrained cultural messages, her classes teach moms to tune into what their bodies are telling them, to connect with their babies on a physical, emotional and spiritual level, and to feel empowered as they prepare for the birth of their child.

The intention of Elevate Yoga is to create a safe and welcoming community supporting the ongoing practice of yoga. Whether a student is just beginning or is an experienced yogi, our offerings will inspire their journey. Elevate Yoga is located at Bethany Crossing, 82 Bethany Road, Suite 5, Hazlet, NJ.
