TCHC introduces prenatal yoga for expectant mothers

Starting in January, Tri-County Health Care will host a new weekly prenatal yoga class for expectant mothers. Classes will be held Wednesdays starting Jan. 10 from 5 to 6 p.m. in Tri-County Wadena Clinic Conference Room B.

Prenatal yoga helps to reduce stress and anxiety while increasing strength and flexibility, which are beneficial for childbirth. It also helps improve sleep, decrease lower back pain and helps participants learn breathing techniques that will assist them during labor and delivery.

The classes are free to attend, and participants don’t need to be Tri-County patients. Because of limited availability, attendees must pre-register for each class on TCHC.org.

Classes will be taught by Pam Doebbeling, certified prenatal yoga instructor and registered nurse with 20 years of experience. Attendees can bring their own yoga mat, or one will be provided. All experience levels are welcome.
