Written by: Dr. Aliya Visram, Chiropractor at Yoga Mamas  Whether this is your first or your fourth pregnancy, it is important that you take time to appreciate and take care of the changes your body is going through while it prepares for the baby. The chiropractors at Yoga Mamas are specially trained in women's health and in particular, prenatal and postnatal care. Here's why you should see a Chiropractic Care Doctor: 1. Aligning the pelvis and lumbar spine allows for optimal baby positioning and growth. Chiropractic care during pregnancy is not only beneficial to Mamas, but also helps with the positioning and growth of the baby. 2. Shorter labour and delivery times after pelvis and spine are in correct alignment. By making the proper adjustments, those who have undergone Chiropractic care during their pregnancy have experienced shorter labour and delivery times. 3. Increases the ease in which the body adapts to the natural changes related to pregnancy. Beyond back and pelvic pain, Chiropractic care assesses the entire body as a whole and creates alignment throughout the body to help ease the transition to pregnancy.
4. Reported greater ease and comfort during birthing, reduced need for pain relief medication and medical intervention (forceps, vacuum) during childbirth.
Chiropractic care helps to maintain spinal and pelvic alignment which may help to reduce labour and delivery times as well as decrease the need for medical interventions. 5. It helps to alleviate back and pelvic discomfort and pain. These spots can become particularly tender during pregnancy. Chiropractic treatment can help relieve areas of discomfort.

We have created a few special workshops dedicated specifically to this and invite you to join us as we turn inward and focus a bit more on self discovery and self care.

 FREE PRENATAL TEA: EXPLORING EMOTIONS SURROUNDING YOUR PREGNANCY SAT FEB 23RD 11:15AM - 12:15PM Come join us for tea and guided conversation with Danielle Hulan (MSW, RSW) on how mamas-to-be can move through the emotional and mental hills of pregnancy.
This event is open to all mamas-to-be looking to understand more about the following:
Learn, share and connect with mamas-to-be like you as you acknowledge some of the complicated, pleasant, or sometimes unpleasant emotions that can surface in pregnancy. This workshop will allow you to explore the full emotional and physical experience of pregnancy (the one that may not be always be captured in media). 
Invite newness and clarity into the change of season with a night of guided meditation and soothing sounds of crystal bowl vibrations. Immerse yourself in the freshness of spring with every inhale as you set a loving intention for the upcoming season. Experience a night just for you in a relaxing and cozy environment where you will be guided to set a loving intention that you can bring off the mat long after class is over. Each participant will walk away with an intention crystal. This beautiful night is led by Sound Therapist and Healer Megan Marie Gates.  Not sure what a Sound Bath is?
Sound Baths are intuitive vibrational journeys that allow participants to lay back, relax and become immersed in soothing sounds from crystal bowls. They are meditative experiences that can provide deep relaxation, stress release and are powerful experiences for our bodies, minds and hearts. For more information on Megan and what you can expect, check out her website meganmariegates.com Submitted by you, Yoga Mamas' Community  Ahhh baby names ♡ Thousands and thousands to choose from and so many places to draw inspiration from as well. When we heard that Jamie (our founder) was going to have a babe of her own, we couldn't help but wonder what she'd name her little one. Which got us thinking about you, our community and your little bundles of joy. We thought we'd put together a little survey showing us the top baby names of 2018 from mamas in our studio. Can you help us? If you had a baby in 2018, what did you name them? Share your baby's name in the form below.
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet."
