I find Prenatal class to be very relaxing and walk away with a wonderful sense of well-being. I love the pace of the class and the combination of slow, relaxing poses with guidance from Marnie. I sleep extremely well after class. I also found it to be an important time to help bond with my baby. With a 2-year-old at home, I have not been able to spend as much time bonding with this baby as I did when I was pregnant with my first. So this was a very special time for me to set some time aside to focus on the baby.
