PreNatal Yoga Classes
Monday's 6:45p
Laughing Dog Yoga Studio, Wellesley
All Classes are drop in based.
Early in 2003 Marissa realized there was a major void in the yoga community and in a specific style of class. She looked around and noticed there was a population of yogis in the Boston area underserved at a most relevant time in their lives.
Marissa was one of those women and was 6 months pregnant at the time. Laughing Dog's 1st prenatal yoga class was formed out of this necessity and the desire to teach what Marissa knew and what she was crafting for her own practice.
After almost 20 years, this very popular class has served hundreds of women, sometimes through 2 & 3 pregnancies, on Zoom during Shutdown and in person at Laughing Dog Yoga Studio, as their bodies and lives changed.

This very unique class blends community Childbirth Ed and the Prenatal Yoga Practice. It is full of laughter, some tears, and lots of support.

"I am so happy I found Marissa Farrell's prenatal yoga class! With her expertise and experience I felt safe practicing yoga during my pregnancy- I was able to continue to build strength and stretch the key areas of my body that are important during pregnancy. Being able to connect with other expectant mothers and hear from Marissa on tips and recommendations for pregnancy and childbirth was invaluable."

This prenatal yoga class is at once a movement class, a childbirth education class (Marissa is a CAPPA certified childbirth educator), and a community for moms to spend time with each other. It has a most unique feel and is often sited as Marissa's favorite class to teach all week.
