Prenatal & Postnatal Dance for Easier Birth & Smoother Recovery

You’ve probably heard that movement is “good for pregnancy.”
But what you might not know is that it’s not just about moving — it’s about moving with purpose.

When you move in ways that are designed to work with your body’s natural design, you build more than flexibility — you build awareness, strength, stamina, and muscle memory that support you through birth and into motherhood.

Here’s how Mamma Jamma Dance prepares you — for labor, recovery, and life after baby:

These classes are designed to give you what you actually need for birth: stamina to sustain you, strength to support you, balance to create space for your baby, and the ability to get out of your head and into your body.

We’re building mind-body awareness, so you instinctively know how to move, breathe, and support your body when labor intensifies.

This isn’t just about flexibility — it’s about functional movement that stacks the odds in your favor for:

• Faster, more efficient labor

• Supporting optimal baby positioning

• Moving with your contractions instead of against them

• Feeling strong and confident in your body’s abilities

Every class helps you trust your body more deeply, so you enter labor feeling prepared and powerful.

What you do now lays the foundation for how you heal later.
In Mamma Jamma Dance, you’re creating muscle memory for the movements you’ll rely on every single day as a new mother — lifting your baby safely, getting up from the couch with ease, bending for diaper changes, and protecting your core as it heals.

These classes support:

• Safer, instinctive lifting patterns to protect your back and core

• Better circulation to promote healing and tissue recovery

• Reduced risk of postpartum depression through movement and mood support

• Daily habits that continue to support your well-being long after birth

You’re not just preparing for the day you give birth — you’re preparing for every day after.

Back pain, hip tightness, pelvic discomfort — they’re common, but not inevitable. By focusing on posture, alignment, and tension release, you can relieve back pain, hip tightness, and general discomfort as your body changes.

When you move, you release feel-good hormones like dopamine and oxytocin — both essential for labor progression and postpartum wellness. Regular movement during pregnancy has even been shown to shorten labor by up to two hours, while improving your recovery after birth. It’s not just about feeling better today — it’s about setting your body up for success.

Pregnancy and postpartum can leave you feeling disconnected and like a foreigner in your body. Through joyful, purposeful movement, you’ll come home to yourself — building trust in your body’s capabilities while deepening your connection with your growing baby.

Daily movement matters. These classes teach you small, simple habits that create space for your baby, support optimal positioning, and prepare your body to work with you during labor. You’ll feel more confident knowing you’re doing your part.

The way you prepare now influences how you move, recover, and feel as you step into postpartum life. You’ll carry not only strength and stamina but also a lasting mindset of connection and care for your body as you care for your baby.
