I have attended dozens of classes with Alicia and can confidently say I can’t imagine a better prenatal yoga experience. Alicia really puts a lot of thought and care into every aspect of the class, including a really valuable theme or focus for the night that she incorporates throughout, the studio environment, the music, and the instruction itself. One of the things I love most about her approach is that it isn’t just about moving your body, it’s about opening up space for reflection, meditation, and real personal growth. Let me be clear that the physical movements and pacing of the class are wonderful, too. Alicia has so much experience and wisdom when it comes to helping women in pregnancy find the poses that will be most beneficial. She is very aware of the challenge of changing bodies and always offers grace, encouragement, and support while working to make sure the practice is effective. As a bonus, it’s helpful to have a place to get to know other people who are pregnant. Simply wonderful studio...

Alicia creates a very welcoming space and community of fellow expectant moms. Physically, the stretches, breathing exercises, and strength training have all benefitted me in lowering the discomforts/pains of pregnancy. Emotionally, Alicia beautifully balances giving space to the varied feelings you hold within -- frustration, excitement, exhaustion, gratitude, fear.

She does all of this with a good dose of humor and being able to laugh along the craziness that is life.
Even if you're someone who can name maybe only 3 yoga poses ... or may not get the "nap" at the end of class (which btw is my favorite part now), give this class a shot. It may just change...
Read moreI started taking virtual classes from the Utah Prenatal Yoga Studio when I was 13 wks pregnant...now I’m just over 30 weeks and feeling so strong! I’ve loved the community & the accessibility of the online classes, since I live about 45 minutes from Salt Lake City. Alicia and her team of yoga instructors are all so knowledgeable, kind and considerate of my growing belly. They are constantly offering up accommodations, challenges and positions to alleviate lower back pain and tightness in my hips. I take two classes a week and after every class feel incredible! I also love the ability to save some $$$ by buying a 10-class pass and the one time I had problems with a purchase Alicia responses within hours. Lastly, I was thrilled to know that they offer classes and support for after I have my baby, which I will be taking full advantage of. Utah Prenatal Yoga has been a total game changer for me and I HIGHLY...
