Prenatal Yoga with Cassie

I went to Cassie’s prenatal yoga class throughout my entire pregnancy, which kept me sane and healthy and active. Can’t recommend Cassie and her class enough. The real magic is Cassie as a Doula…
Simply put, Cassie made our pregnancy and birth AMAZING.
As a Doula, she is 110% supportive, provides information from both sides of the topic in question, and just makes you laugh (because let’s be real, sometimes it’s all you can do is laugh).
My husband and I knew once we met her that we made a great decision to have Cassie as our Doula, but it wasn’t until after our son was born and we were able to look back on the entire pregnancy and birth that we finally saw how invaluable she was. There is no way we would have been as informed, as confident, and as positive without her (and when our labor and birth went the exact opposite of how we had dreamed of, she was right there, for three days, talking through every unexpected, scary, and confusing situation with us.) She really will support whatever YOU want, and she will make sure you have all the information you need to make your decisions.
When you are having a baby, you want the best, and even with all of our own good intentions and research, sometimes the most valuable thing you can do is have someone trained and experienced on your team; that is Cassie. She will be on your team and help you give your baby the BEST of everything!
Thank you forever Cassie!!! We love you!!!

I think I was around 20 weeks pregnant when I started taking prenatal yoga with Cassie at Forward Fold in Encino. I had just gotten into yoga months before I got pregnant, and I wanted to continue exercising throughout my pregnancy. Her class is amazing — she brings such a positive vibe and energy to each class and it’s the perfect combination of strength and stretching. I felt as good as I could physically until the end of my pregnancy, and bonus: she even put me into labor with some yoga moves and pressure point work. (Seriously, contractions started two hours after that class.) I’m now continuing with her class postpartum and still feel amazing. Thank you, Cassie!

My wife started going to Cassie’s class pretty early in her pregnancy. It’s been amazing for her. Each week she comes home incredibly relaxed and happy. Thanks, Cassie!

I started taking prenatal yoga classes with Cassie when I was 14 weeks pregnant and I am completely convinced that her class and our weekly Sunday practice is what has allowed me to remain so agile and pain-​free in my pregnancy! Cassie helps target areas that are troubling us expectant mothers so that we can enjoy our pregnancies and prepare for labor. I think her experience as a doula (which she shares freely in class along with laboring positions and tips) really informs her yoga instruction. Her energy and laid back style create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere where mamas-​to-​be can ask questions and get to know each other.
I’ve taken classes with other prenatal yoga instructors and they just aren’t as effective for me or my stretching body. I never miss a class because I always go into the practice feeling a bit stiff or with pelvic pain (which is something I struggled with a lot before Cassie’s class) etc. and leave feeling like I’m walking out in my pre-​pregnancy 10 year-​old-​body. Don’t question it for a second, try yoga with Cassie because it could be the best thing you ever do for yourself in pregnancy!
Thanks for helping me enjoy my pregnant body, Cassie!
PS: I also look forward to coming back to this class with my little one in tow:)

I attended Prenatal Yoga with Cassie through almost my entire pregnancy and loved it. The class is structured so that you’re challenged when you want to be, yet it’s completely feasible no matter your level (including if you’ve never done yoga before, and/​or are 40 weeks pregnant).
I definitely used techniques we discussed in the class during my labor, and am looking forward to going back and easing into a workout routine with some «post-​natal» yoga soon.
In addition to a great yoga session, Cassie’s class offers a sense of community. I made wonderful new friends I’m still in touch with now that my baby is born.

I started taking prenatal yoga with Cassie when I was 16 weeks pregnant. Up until then I hadn’t been able to find a class that worked with my schedule and met on weekends or evenings.
I am so happy to have found her class. I looked forward to it every Sunday throughout my pregnancy. Cassie is wonderfully energetic and creates a relaxed and fun atmosphere where I was able to continue my yoga practice, ease the aches and pains of pregnancy, and build new friendships with other mamas-​to-​be.
As I ease back into a workout routine, I hope to come back to Cassie’s class — maybe with baby in tow — to get back to my regular yoga practice in an environment I know will encourage, support, and make me laugh.
