Let’s be honest. The idea of doing yoga becomes a lot less appealing when even putting on your shoes becomes too big of a chore. Pregnancy keeps your body working overtime, resulting in lots of aches, pains, and the general feeling of mehhh. And while yoga might seem exhausting, it will go a long way in relieving many of the symptoms. Plus, you’ll build strength and flexibility, which can result in a shorter labor and recovery period. As a Columbus maternity photographer and mom, I get to connect with so many lovely, expectant mamas out there! Here are some of their favorite spots to sign up for prenatal yoga In Columbus, Ohio.
