Last week was a tough one. It was filled with work and personal struggles, on top of not being able…read moreto sleep due to being 18 weeks pregnant. So on Thursday, I decided that something had to change. I needed to do something for myself and my baby to help get me back in a better place. Enter: Modern Mama Wellness Center. I had heard about the prenatal yoga offered by Jackie and her business from a friend of mine, and considering the first class is free, I thought it couldn't hurt. I signed up for and attended Saturday morning's class. And wow, did it help me refocus my energies and feel better. I love yoga and have taken part in several classes through the years, but this one was different. It started with the seven of us in the class going around and introducing ourselves, saying how far along we are and what our biggest obstacle from the last week was. The entire class is low impact, which you can imagine for prenatal yoga. But even being low impact, I could tell immediately that it was making a difference. First of all, I had difficultly even keeping my eyes closed for the relaxation exercises at the beginning. That's how tense I was to start. But this got better throughout the class. Jackie included tidbits about pregnancy and labor throughout the class, such as how you can sit differently and use yoga poses to get the baby in a better position. And then at the end of the class, she came around and gave everyone neck and scalp massages with essential oil and placed warm rice packs on the back of your necks. I didn't have any trouble relaxing especially after that. Modern Mama is in a small building behind Louisville Family Chiropractic on New La Grange Road, near the malls on Shelbyville Road. Definitely know that before you go. And my one suggestion to Modern Mama would be to provide class prices on the website, social media or even on a pamphlet. I want to signup, but it's hard to keep the different price levels straight. Jackie also is a doula, I believe, and Modern Mama offers infant massage, childbirth classes and other wellness workshops, including a "comfort class for dads," which goes over how dads can comfort moms in labor. I can't wait to go back for another prenatal yoga class and for these classes to help me get stronger and prepare for having this baby.

I have been coming here about once every other week for the past couple of months. The classes are…read moreaffordable and small/intimate (with a max of 8 students each time). I kind of wish all yoga was this chill, with plenty of reminders to go at your own pace. I especially dig the Monday class when Ester works in some restorative poses towards the end of every class, along with some adjustments and lavender heated rice bags at the end. The sign up and payment process is super easy (online sign up, Venmo or cash payment). Every class has a short intro/sharing time at the beginning and the instructors are really kind and empathetic about the woes of pregnancy. It's a good way to get into the right head space. Also, I always always feel better after in terms of low back and hip pain, so that's a big plus!
