Yoga + Community

At Cherished Life, yoga is more than movement — it is a grounding, embodied practice that supports you through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum season.

 

Our yoga offerings are designed to help you slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with your body during one of life’s most profound transitions.

Through mindful movement, breath, and intentional space, we support your well-being not just on the mat, but in everyday life.

Movement. Mindfulness. Community.

Perinatal Yoga as Embodied Support

Yoga is the heartbeat of the Cherished Life community from pregnancy through the first year postpartum. The practices offered here are rooted in ancient wisdom, evidence-informed care, and lived experience supporting birthing people for over 15 years.

Rather than pushing or striving, our approach invites you to:

  • regulate your nervous system
  • build trust in your body
  • cultivate presence and confidence
  • prepare physically and emotionally for birth and parenthood

This path is not linear — it can be tender, uncomfortable, and deeply transformative. You are not meant to walk it alone.

Benefits of Perinatal Yoga

  • Eases common physical discomforts of pregnancy
  • Reduces stress and supports emotional regulation
  • Improves circulation and reduces fluid retention
  • Builds functional strength and body awareness
  • Supports posture, balance, and mobility
  • Teaches breathing and relaxation tools for labor, birth, and parenting
  • Encourages connection with your baby
  • Supports recovery and reintegration postpartum
  • Cultivates intuition, confidence, and self-trust
  • Fosters community and shared experience

Prenatal Yoga On-Demand Library

For those seeking flexibility and continuity, Cherished Life offers an on-demand prenatal yoga library — a curated collection of over 35 prenatal yoga practices recorded over the past several years.

These classes are designed to meet you wherever you are in pregnancy and allow you to move, breathe, and reconnect on your own schedule.

This library is ideal for:

  • pregnant people who prefer home practice
  • those seeking consistent support between appointments
  • clients looking for nervous-system grounding throughout pregnancy

Access to the on-demand library is included as a complimentary resource for Cherished Life doula clients and prenatal yoga teacher trainees.

Legacy Work & Community Care

A core part of Cherished Life’s mission is ensuring that embodied support reaches those who are often overlooked. Vanya currently offers prenatal yoga programming for incarcerated women at a local women’s correctional facility — work that reflects a deep commitment to reproductive justice, dignity, and holistic maternal care.

This offering is part of Cherished Life’s broader legacy work and commitment to community wellness beyond traditional studio spaces.

Vanya is wonderful! She is so welcoming and made me feel like I was a part of her yoga family from day one. I really looked forward to her live classes every week. Vanya offers an immensely supportive space for mentally and physically preparing for birth but also for connecting with other moms-to-be. I gave birth to my daughter (my first child) in December and my birth experience was everything I wanted it to be. I truly believe that was in large part thanks to the preparation I did in Vanya’s classes. I am so thankful I found Vanya and the Cherished Life community!

On the day of my daughter’s birth, I used my yoga practice to get me through the pain and nervous energy. Squatting, cooling breaths, and surrendering to the pain were techniques that helped me tremendously to get through the labor. And my labor progressed well – and almost without medication – it was such a beautiful experience that I strongly believe that prenatal yoga prepared me so well! I’m a true believer of the practice! Thank you, Vanya, for inviting me to such a wonderful practice.
