Memorial Hospital Miramar Prenatal Yoga
Prenatal and postnatal yoga classes are taught
in small group settings and designed to meet
the needs of women during and after pregnancy.
Through these classes, women are able to
connect with one another, share stories, build
friendships and bloom as individuals.
Prenatal Yoga
Prenatal yoga is considered one of the best forms of exercise to participate in during pregnancy and the techniques acquired can assist in labor and delivery. It can be a safe way to stay fit and healthy leading up to childbirth. Prenatal yoga can help:
- Strengthen and tone specific muscles used during childbirth
- Increase relaxation
- Relieve back pain
- Increase energy
- Boost self-esteem
- Decrease sleepless nights
- Improve breathing techniques used during labor
- Prevent excess weight gain during pregnancy
Postnatal Yoga
Postnatal fitness is a key component to a healthy recovery after pregnancy and delivery. At Memorial Hospital Miramar, we want to help women get back into shape and stay healthy physically and mentally – this benefits mother and child. The classes are designed to help new moms regain their prepregnancy figures and feel great. Postnatal yoga can help:
- Decrease stress and anxiety
- Boost self-esteem
- Help shed weight gain during pregnancy
- Increase energy
- Safely teach stretching and flexibility techniques
- Decrease sleepless nights
- Prevent postpartum depression or anxiety
- Strengthen muscle groups weakened by pregnancy
The Birthing Experience
Memorial Hospital Miramar understands that the birth of a baby is one of life’s most treasured moments.

Leading-edge medical and nursing care delivered with a focus on patient- and familycentered care is the heart of our philosophy.
The warm, homelike private maternity suites provide comfortable accommodations so the entire family can share in the birth experience. Our boardcertified neonatologists, neonatal nurse practitioners, anesthesiologists, neonatal respiratory therapists, and specialty-trained neonatal and delivery room nurses are on hand 24 hours a day.
