THE ROOTS OF MA YOGA
The “Ma” in Ma Yoga means “mother” in just about every language.
In Sanskrit, it also means the highest, most powerful and wise - like “Ma Kali”, the mother of all goddesses.
Ma Yoga isn’t just about becoming a mom to a baby - its about learning to nurture yourself, and in doing so open the door to your highest, most powerful & wise "Ma" Self.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY:
“Love Ma Yoga! It’s individualized, calming, balancing, strengthening and nurturing for both body and the nervous 1st-time mom soul.” - Jacki A.
“I started doing Ma Yoga when I was 16 weeks pregnant. It was the best thing I could have done for myself.” - Kali N.
“Practicing yoga with my baby next to me is such a rewarding experience – even if I only get to do a few poses, a little goes a long way… Class is challenging, but gentle.” - Michelle P.
“I highly recommend these classes to any pregnant woman, but especially yoga-nitwits like me… I always felt a lot better after class than before, more relaxed and with less aches and pains.” - Chelsey S.
"I want to say how much I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the Ma Yoga program! I love its flexibility, and the mix of focus and intensity.
My first video was a simple 15-minute moon salutation and, on a night where something longer felt overwhelming, having that option to do just a little helped so much." - Emilie C.
“When I became pregnant a second time, as a working mom with a 1 year old at home, I knew there would be no chance of making it to 5:30 yoga practice so I joined the Ma Yoga Living community so I could practice at home after my son went to bed. i really appreciated the ability to pick a session based on length of time I had to practice.” - Elizabeth R.
“The instructors are knowledgeable and confident. I only wish I had this when I was pregnant!” - Kelsey D.
"I’d give 10 stars if I could! Ma Yoga was a lifesaver to me during the last trimester of my pregnancy last year. I had pretty intense lower back pain and used the Happy Back Practice routine to help relieve the pain and regain mobility.” - Fatimah S.
