Best, Julia
Saraswathi Devi at Yogalayam on Adeline & Alcatraz (approximately) has a pre-natal yoga class on Wednesdays & Saturdays, from 10 to 12. It's not heavily aerobic, but she knows everything about a pregnant body and the yoga really manages to stave off those aches and pains. (I know because I only had them when I missed a week of classes!) It's a really nice community of pregnant women, too. Definitely on the funky side, though starts a little late, chanting, etc. But it really, really helped me with both pregnancy and labor. Ilana
Saraswati Devi runs an excellent pre- and post-natal yoga excercise class at Yogalayam on Alcatraz near Adeline in Berkeley. Last I checked, these classes were 10a-12N on Wednesdays and Saturdays. You can go to both or either. You pay one fee for six classes, and can use them up as rapidly or as slowly as you wish. I don't know what the current cost is, since she restructured the fees after I went through.
You didn't say how old your baby was, but Saraswathi Devi at Yogalayam has a couple of baby/mom classes with childcare providers at hand. On Monday mornings at 9:30 to 11:00, she has a class for moms and toddlers (over a year). The kids are in the same room as the moms, but an adjoining room has toys and scarves and a childcare person, so the babies stay with mom or go off and play as they please. Her post-partum yoga class is for babies under a year and I believe it is on Thursdays from 10:00 to noon. -- Ilana
