This 4-week series is for people carrying and birthing a baby who are looking to connect with their bodies, their breath, and their pregnancy in a supportive environment. Each class will include time for community and connection and an exploration of the ways that yoga can support pregnancy and birth through movement, breath, and meditation. All bodies, sizes, and abilities are welcome and celebrated.

In this special series we will dedicate each class to an exploration of one of the Brahmaviharas, a set of four virtues or qualities that hold great significance in various Buddhist traditions. Often referred to as the “four faces of love” or “divine abodes,” the Brahmaviharas consist of loving-kindness (Metta), compassion (Karuna), empathetic joy (Mudita), and equanimity (Upekkha). We will explore these qualities through the experience of pregnancy, using them as tools to support our connection to ourselves, our baby (or babies, if you’re expecting twins!), and our community.

Sebastian has been teaching yoga with skill and care since 2018. Currently pregnant himself, he is passionate about creating supportive spaces for all pregnant people. His teaching is gender-affirming, body-positive, and trauma informed. He is a Certified Accessible Yoga Teacher as well as a Certified Prenatal Yoga Teacher.
