The Motherhood Center has been offering prenatal and parenting education classes, yoga and fitness classes, massage services, baby doula services, and help to find childcare for more than 20 years.

Coming to the Motherhood Center was one of the BEST decisions I have made for me and my baby. I workout 4-5 times a week before pregnancy and do all kinds of things from kickboxing to yoga but when I got pregnant, I wanted to make sure the workouts I do are safe for me and baby and it will benefit me during labor and recovery. So after I tried out my first prenatal workout class with Karolina at the Motherhood Center I was hooked. I started to go there when I was 11 weeks pregnant and I am still taking the class virtually now when I am 37 weeks. The classes were great and I feel stronger and have more energy after the classes. Everyone at Motherhood Center has been so nice and friendly since day 1 when I first visited. They are resourceful, helpful and super knowledgeable about all kinds of pregnancy things. The facility is clean, cozy and neat and has everything you need for pregnancy. I am glad during this tough time, they are still open and provide virtual classes online so I can take it from home. Can’t wait for my baby to come and I will come back for Mommy & Baby yoga class!!!!

This place is a piece of heaven for expecting moms and ones with baby’s. The founder Gabriela and the staff are super knowledgeable and friendly, guiding you in everything you need to help you get more sleep more and stress less They offer pregnancy safe yoga classes, massages where they watch your baby while you get pampered, breastfeeding classes, sleep coaching and more! It is a great place to meet other moms that are on a similar journey, making lifelong friendships is the best!

Absolutely love the Motherhood Center!! I just had my first baby and all the classes, massages and resources helped me so much to be educated during pregnancy. I absolutely love Dena!! She has such a passion for all things childbirth and has a wealth of knowledge. I felt so comfortable going into labor and knowing what to expect or what could happen. The massages were incredible as well! I also purchased an incline pillow to help me sleep at night and it did miracles for me. I’m so happy that the Motherhood Center was recommended to me!

Working as a nanny with The Motherhood Center has been a wonderful experience. The staff is so diligent in finding me a job placement, making sure all my needs are met, and is always very professional. Couldn’t imagine a better experience elsewhere.

Dear Gabriela, Sonia and Davina, we wanted to take this opportunity and thank you for the amazing support that your wonderful Nannies and Newborn Care Specialists are providing. With 3 under 3 and within this pandemic it is simply a huge relief to have such professional, warming and caring people to help us with everything. We wouldn’t know how to function without them. Thank you so much, we GREATLY appreciate it! All the best and warm wishes,

4worldlovers:
Our Intermediate Class is for experienced students who have been through Ignite! classes or have practiced Iyengar Yoga before. Intermediate students are assumed to know how to practice Salamba Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand). Sirsasana (Head Stand) will be introduced, or appropriate substitutions if necessary. Intermediate 2 students should be proficient in Shoulder Stand, Head Stand, or appropriate substitutions.

In all Intermediate classes we begin seated with an invocation to the Sage Patanjali. This is a Sanskrit chant to pay homage to the tradition of Patanjali yoga which goes back for thousands of years. The invocation brings us inward and helps us cultivate humility and reverence for the sacred subject of yoga.
