Perinatal Movement
Private and group classes, for prenatal and postnatal bodies alike — movement that meets you exactly where you are in this season.
We birth with our bodies, not with our brains. Movement is medicine and an underrated tool for pain relief, labor support, and postpartum healing. Come move, prepare your body for birth, and find joy and vitality along the way.
Ways to Move
❋ Prenatal Flow
a weekly, community-rooted class held every Wednesday at Wild Qi in Ojai. (See below for details.)
❋ Groove Together
a joy-filled babywearing and pregnancy dance class held at Illuminate Studios in Ventura. (See below for details.)
❋ Dance Baby Down
a 90-minute workshop filled with community connection, dance, and breath, integrating the four elements: earth, wind, fire, and water. Come find joy in your body, connect with your baby, and have fun in your pregnancy. As our Queen, the creatrix of Dance Baby Down says, “Birth is the dance of life” — get ready to dance with joy and birth with joy. Monthly workshops coming soon.
❋ Prenatal Groove
an experience built on a simple truth: motion is lotion. Through gentle stretching, diaphragmatic breathing, and a joyful, follow-the-leader dance, you’ll build muscle memory for moving through discomfort — so your body already knows what to do when labor, or any hard day, calls for it. Available upon request — no set schedule yet.
These offerings can also be brought to celebratory gatherings, like a baby shower or mother blessing.
Prenatal Flow
Wherever you are on your pregnancy journey — whether you feel strong and energized, or tired, nauseous, and heavy in the body — this class is for you. We open in circle with a breath or mindfulness practice, take space to check in with one another, and flow through restorative stretches, strength-building movements, and joyful dance.
Come build community and care for your entire being as you navigate the waters of this sacred time. Let’s take a breath, swirl our hips, and dive deep together.
