As a serving “mother to be” I thought I would share with all of you the wonderful experience I had, after Kelly’s excellent referral, at Breathe and Flow Yoga. Breathe and Flow is a fairly new, family run, Yoga studio in Freeport . They have an abundance of classes offered each week in two beautifully tranquil Yoga studios. I am a Yoga newbie and therefore, was a little apprehensive that my first Yoga class would be when I am 14 weeks pregnant. I arrived last night for the 7:15 class and was greeted with students from the previous class exiting the studio expressing how much they enjoyed their class, a great sign.
Lea, the owner of the studio made me feel extremely comfortable right away, they showed me around the studio where the prenatal class was held, pointed out the props I would need for the class and let me get settled. Lea entered the studio and advised me that even if I was the only person to show up she would give me a private lesson. This is something Kelly had pre-warned me about, she knew Lea was someone who catered to anyone who came out to take a class even if you were the only one. Of course, I might not always get a private lesson, but it sure was nice especially for my first class. Lea was amazing, she is kind, and was an extremely knowledgeable Yoga instructor. She is reassuring and supportive; two things I really needed as I ventured out into this new Yoga world. She taught me so many of the positions that can be modified when pregnant and made adjustments to my positions when necessary. It is evident that Lea is dedicated to establishing her Yoga studio as a place that grows with the families of her patrons.
I really needed this experience…first for nourishment of my body, but most importantly for the nourishment of my soul and peace of mind. It was nice to just have something for me and my baby to share alone…for in a few months I know there will be rare opportunities like these. During our session Lea gave me so many opportunities to connect with my baby; it was a wonderful experience. I can not wait for my class on Saturday morning.
