Ma Yoga San Juan Capistrano – Align Pilates Center

Jaime Hanson is a skilled and personable prenatal yoga instructor. I highly recommend the facility and this instructor.

I took the prenatal yoga class with Jamie and she was great! She is well versed as an instructor, and recently had a baby, so she is aware of the different stages of pregnancy and moves that are appropriate physically. She always makes you feel comfortable from the start, and will help you with achieving poses by adding modification blocks or blankets. I would definitely recommend it to those mamas-​to-​be or even postpartum!

I am absolutely loving Jamie’s Ma Yoga classes! I started taking her yoga classes when I was about 8 weeks into my pregnancy. There was even another gal there that was earlier in her pregnancy than me! So, regardless of what stage of your pregnancy you are in, this is the yoga class for you! Jamie is so knowledgeable and very hands-​on. The classes are very small and intimate which allows you to really get to know yourself, your body, Jamie, and the other expectant mothers you are taking classes with. Jamie focuses on poses that will help strengthen your muscles and that will help once you have to deliver your little one. These classes are after work (5:15), which is great as you can unwind after a hectic day. They are over an hour, which is also awesome. I am planning to continue with Jamie throughout the duration of my pregnancy!
New and continuing yoga practitioners welcome!
I highly recommend her classes for pre-​natal yoga!

I started Jamie’s prenatal yoga class at 11 weeks into my pregnancy until nearly the end of my third trimester. I was hesitant to start yoga again due to previous knee injuries from running. My fears were wiped out on the first day! Jamie made me feel so comfortable and taught me modified poses to accommodate my knees. I highly recommend this class to all pregnant ladies. Jamie is truly passionate about yoga. She understands all the changes us pregnant women go through, both physical and emotional, and incorporates how to deal with these changes (whether it be yoga poses or simply chatting with each other) in her classes.
I also had the pleasure of taking classes taught by Jamie’s substitute while she was out. Jenny was also an amazing prenatal yoga instructor.
Ma Yoga definitely has the best yoga teachers. If you’re looking to unwind, prepare for labor, or seeking a community of other soon-​to-​be mamas, this is the class for you.
