About The Class

The Shakti Prenatal Yoga Method doubles as a prenatal fitness class, and a birth readiness program. Moms are prepared to approach birth and motherhood with calm and confidence. Each class begins with a birth preparation topic, followed by a series of yoga movements and breath practices, and ends with a guided relaxation session. These calming and strengthening prenatal classes are designed to optimize expectant mothers’ physical and mental health while promoting the bond between mother and child. Breathing exercises are emphasized throughout the class to calm the mind, and prepare the body for delivery. Each movement is carefully chosen to stretch and strengthen muscles needed to support the body during pregnancy and childbirth. Yoga maneuvers to encourage baby into ideal birth position, and to tone and create range of motion in the muscles that support the pelvis, including the pelvic floor, are highlighted. The Shakti Yoga Method’s combination of carefully curated physical, mental, and emotional preparation techniques is an extremely effective and proven program for enhancing quality of pregnancy and birthing experiences. Bobby now trains Shakti Yoga Method teachers worldwide to help women and parents everywhere prepare for beautiful, comfortable, and yes, even enjoyable, birthing. Bobby draws on more than 15 years of experience teaching prenatal yoga, providing birth doula services, and instructing childbirth education programs. She uses educational topics, and visualizations to deepen the impact of yoga postures and breath practices. This multi-faceted program was developed as she observed what skills, and birth preparation techniques were most effective in helping her birth doula clients to intuitively and joyfully birth their babies. Meet other birthing women and parentes, share your own experiences, and go home to the most deep and delicious sleep with baby.

This class provides:

Yoga poses designed for Mom’s blossoming figure
Birth preparation techniques
Breathing exercises
Guided relaxation
A community of mom’s to be with whom to share experiences

Who’s This Class For?

Neurogenic Yoga™ is especially suitable for those experiencing chronic pain, daily stress & long held tension, PTSD. It is also however an opportunity to simply shake off the stress from your day or week as a means of maintaining healthy nervous system balance.

About The Class

Neurogenic Yoga™ is a revolutionary technique to heal trauma and reduce stress. It combines yoga poses and breathing with the body’s body’s natural therapeutic shaking response. The human (and animal) nervous system has an instinctual shaking response that is genetically coded to help us discharge long-held tension and trauma. It is an unconscious muscle contraction that restores the body to wholeness after stressful or traumatic events.

Vibration and shaking in the body automatically occurs when the nervous system identifies threat. Unfortunately the negative social constructs that see shaking and tremoring, as showing vulnerability or weakness, mean that this innate release mechanism is conditioned out of us at a very early age. Neurogenic Yoga reawakens the body’s intrinsic release mechanism to optimize health and wellness.

Class will begin with a 30 minute series of movements. Modifications are offered to ensure this portion is suitable for all bodies and experience levels. Absolutely no yoga experience or ability is needed. These poses will stretch and tire the psoas, and other muscles that are involved in the contraction response that occurs when the nervous system experiences stress, or feels unsafe.

Yoga movements are followed by a lying posture that safely introduces neurogenic tremoring to release physical and emotional stress and tension. Vibration usually begins in the legs and may spread throughout the entire body to release long held tension. This method is based on Dr. David Berceli’s technique of Trauma Releasing Exercises® (TRE®).

This class provides:

Six 60 minute classes in a calm and supportive environment.

Private Sessions

Written by Bobby Bessey on January 11, 2022. Posted in Hatha Yoga, Neurogenic TRE, Prenatal Yoga.

Private sessions are an opportunity to participate in a yoga class that is tailored to fit your needs. If you have a specific condition or goal that you would like to work on, questions about your regular practice that you would like to clarify, or if you would like to get an overview of the basic poses before joining a regular class then this might be an option for you. Please contact Bobby@ShaktiYogaMethod.com to discuss specific details.

Hatha Yoga Private Session

Hatha Yoga private sessions are an ideal opportunity to ask questions and work on specific goals. Some prefer to join a private session for some time before joining group class sessions, others are looking for a specific style of class that requires more individualized attention. Whether it is a hatha, yin, or restorative class you are looking for, a private session is the best way to ensure your yoga practice is tailored to your specific needs.

Private Yoga Sessions

Prenatal Yoga Private Session

Prenatal private sessions are a great way to spend time connecting with baby. Classes can be planned to work with special conditions, or discuss birth plans and preparation. A semi-private with your partner can be a fun bonding experience as you prepare to support each other more effectively during your pregnancy and birthing time.

Private Prenatal Yoga or Birth Education Sessions

Neurogenic (TRE) Private Session

Neurogenic private sessions allow for a more personal exchange. Because neurogenic yoga may sometimes trigger emotional responses (which is good!) some prefer to tremor in a private class setting. Others prefer to experience neurogenic tremors a few times before joining a class or beginning a home practice. It is recommended that you practice with an instructor 3-5 times before practicing on your own.
