Testimonials

Yoga can transform a pregnancy and the expectant mother. Former MotherWise students have great things to say about their positive experiences.

“Go to Camille’s prenatal yoga class! This is the first thing I tell any friend (or even acquaintance) that I find out is pregnant. I attended Camille’s prenatal yoga class faithfully from 14 weeks all the way up through the end and it was wonderful. I met amazing women. I learned to trust my body. I got connected with all the resources I needed. I looked forward to the classes. Towards the end, they became more and more important. I was able to see the changes in myself and my body as the class went from super easy to much more of a challenge at the end of my pregnancy. I credit Camille and this class for making my pregnancy, labor, and delivery not only bearable, but enjoyable, spiritual, and magical. I can still hear Camille’s voice saying “Trust in the wisdom of your body…the wisdom of your baby.” These are very reassuring words, especially when everyone around you is telling your horror stories about birth. Don’t try to be pregnant alone. You need other women. You need to hear their stories. You will get that in this class, not to mention a great workout and a great space to de-stress and relax. I can’t say enough good things about this class.”

“I have recommended Camille and Motherwise Yoga to all of my pregnant friends. Camille has an amazing warmth about her, a great sense of humor and makes you feel like you are the most beautiful pregnant lady in the room! She genuinely cares about and listens to her students. I found the class gentle yet invigorating. It was so nice to connect with other moms who are going through pregnancy. I’ve made some wonderful friends from this class as well! Camille Rocks! You won’t be disappointed!”

“I have been to a few other classes around town and there has been no comparison to the type of class that Camille, of MotherWise Yoga teaches. This class not only flows really well so you feel like you get a good warm up, but it moves through the poses in ways that are both stretching and strengthening. Camille also provides a useful dialogue in class that describes the benefit of each pose and how it helps for birth preparation, during labor, and for recovery post partum. I go away from that class feeling relaxed and stronger both mentally and physically. I also feel a tremendous amount of support from the camaraderie shared with other mamas in class. It is the one time during my busy week that I feel like I get to focus on taking care of myself and my baby in a really nurturing environment.”

“I went to MotherWise Yoga throughout my entire first pregnancy and most of my second (tried a class closer to my house at first while Camille was out on maternity leave herself, but didn’t connect with it like I did to Camille’s class). The class is gentle enough — and Camille’s instruction thorough enough — for Yoga novices, but she encourages more experienced Yogini to make it their own and go deeper into poses if that’s what they want. I appreciated this approach, along with Camille’s wonderful calming energy and unwavering support for expecting and new mamas. I also attended Camille’s birthing workshop during my first pregnancy and am sure that the resources I learned are what saw me through a very trying labor.”

“LOVE LOVE LOVED this class. I was a regular to Motherwise yoga through my entire pregnancy and was even in class the day before I gave birth! I feel this class helped me a great deal in being flexible and confident to get through the birthing process. I also attended postnatal classes with Camille and was so grateful to have a place to connect with other new mothers. Camille is kind, gentle and obviously loves what she does. Highly recommend this class!”
