prenatal yoga
Experience this wondrous time of your pregnancy more profoundly by learning how to be with your growing body and baby more consciously, in ways that build physical and mental strength and flexibility. In addition to deepening your body-mind-spirit connection to yourself and your baby, our Prenatal Yoga class helps you more easily manage the discomforts of pregnancy and maintain wellness as you prepare for childbirth and embark on the joyous journey into motherhood.
Colette (a registered nurse specializing in maternal/child health), along with Nisreen, Kim and Christine, offer more than asana (yoga poses) in the prenatal classes. Each class includes time for community, connecting with other women, asking questions on what matters to you most, breathing techniques for labor, meditation, visualization, prenatal anatomy information, labor preparation and much, much more. Come and join us so you can experience a class for yourself!
Please eat a light snack at least one hour before class to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Herbal tea and filtered water are also available for you in the studio.
This class is for women only (rate charged per woman). Whether you’re preparing for pregnancy, or in your first to third trimester, our prenatal class is safe and gentle for everyone. No previous yoga experience needed.

Colette
“I’m feeling awesome after prenatal yoga this morning! I ended up meeting so many of my best mommy friends at Sri Janani Yoga, and it has always been my safe place during those raw and frazzled (and magical!!) early weeks. My body, my births and my babies thank you.”
“I am so grateful for your yoga classes—both for the physical aspects and also all of the spiritually/mentally wonderful words you share during the classes. I was thinking about it in preparation for and throughout the labor. It’s been a wonderful 3 pregnancies together, with 2 culminating in successful natural VBACs!”
Parent & baby yoga
For Moms, Dads and any caregiver with Baby (Newborn on up)
Mothers love the physical and emotional support this class offers. Gentle yoga poses are taught to help you strengthen, energize and tone while deepening your sense of well-being. The movements are individualized to your needs and designed to be safe for moms and babies, especially postpartum mamas whose bodies naturally need extra support as they recover from the stresses of pregnancy and childbirth. We focus on aiding specific areas such as neck, shoulders and lower back, as well as building strength for your abdominal area and pelvic floor.
Together we also offer each other emotional support and share parenting tips. Discussions are held on feeding your baby, newborn/infant care, infant/child development and postpartum recovery. We invite you to come to class when you feel ready.
We weave in Baby Gym moves with exercises designed to help your baby’s growing mind and body during this incredibly influential time of brain development.
We rock and roll, move to the beat of lively music with exercises designed to help your baby’s growing mind and body during this incredibly influential time of brain development. Babies delight in loving skin-to-skin contact with mom and/or dad, being held and carried, and spending tummy time on your body, which helps to stimulate your infant’s nervous system and aid physical and cognitive development. Your baby gains more control and coordination while increasing strength, agility and flexibility for a beautiful foundation to grow on—and is likely to sleep more soundly, too!
Rate charged per adult.

“Sri Janani Yoga provides a beautiful, healing space for moms and babies. Mom and baby yoga renewed my spirit each week, and I loved seeing my daughter grow after being around other babies. I tell every mom-to-be, or new mom I meet, about Sri Janani!”
infant massage:
Full Body Sequence
For Parents and Babies (3 weeks to 1 year old)
Infant massage is one of the most rewarding and loving activities you can share with your baby. At Sri Janani Yoga, you learn a full-body massage sequence based on ancient, timeless Ayurveda massage techniques, accompanied by specific baby-movement exercises and playful songs that are fun for you and your baby. This wonderful combination helps to develop your infant’s brain and nervous system, improve visual acuity and stimulate the senses.
You also learn techniques that, with regular massage, can…
• help your child sleep better
• soothe and calm baby during teething
• enhance baby’s digestion and elimination, and relieve symptoms of colic
• prepare your child for rolling, turning and crawling
• help avoid torticollis (when an infant’s head turns mostly to one side) and plagiocephaly (flathead)
• foster more nurturing tummy time between you and your baby
Please bring an extra blanket, or soft towel or two, for your baby to keep warm and comfortable during the massage. Since we’ll be working with oil for the massage (complementary), an everyday blanket is best, rather than your treasured heirloom.
Rate includes parent and baby; spouse/partner welcome at no extra charge. A handout of techniques is given for your home practice.

Mothers village Gathering
Mother’s Village Gathering
For pregnant women, mothers, and their beloved elders
We gather in a circle of care to nurture, support, and uplift pregnant women and mothers. This special gathering offers a space to be heard, nourished, and held in community.
Together, we share a wholesome vegetarian meal, stories, a talking circle, meditation, and more—creating an atmosphere of warmth, connection, and deep listening.
Our “village” of supporters includes grandmothers, mothers, sisters, aspiring and professional midwives, doulas, nurses, doctors, yoga teachers, psychiatrists, pharmacists, body and energy workers, ministers, and other women who feel called to support birth and new life. We come in the spirit of selfless service, honoring and encouraging the instinctual wisdom of those bringing new life into the world.
Through this collective support, we offer:
Nourishment and inspiration for body, baby, and spirit
A deep sense of belonging and being held in community
Trust in one’s own intuition
Confidence in the body’s innate wisdom
Tools to recognize and follow inner knowing
Encouragement to walk one’s own path
Support in speaking one’s truth
A peaceful space for making personal decisions
All are welcome.
To join, please email Colette at colette@seattleholisticcenter.com to coordinate the shared meal.
If you would like to bring a beloved elder woman in your life, she is warmly invited. We ask that she also email Colette and contribute a potluck dish to share with the gathering.
