About the project
NYC Prenatal Fitness is thrilled to be offering a second session of our incredibly popular BILINGUAL prenatal yoga class in the Bronx. We started this class in January 2013 as the only prenatal yoga class in the Bronx outside of Riverdale. The class has thrived, and we are seeking support to continue for another 3 months.
The Steps
1. Seek generous donors to give small donations
2. Notify our amazing instructor the funding to support her teaching has been secured
3. Outreach to hundreds of low and moderate income women through community and medical providers, text, email, and facebook
4. Repeatedly thank our wonderful partners/hosts at New Settlement Community Center for providing the amazing space completely free of charge
5. Take pictures and share the beauty of this amazing class with the world
Why we‘re doing it
Prenatal fitness has incredible benefits for physical and mental health. Group prenatal classes also offer an important space for community building, as pregnant women have a chance to connect with other moms-to-be in a relaxing and envigorating environment. Despite these important benefits, many women across the city, particularly lower income women and immigrant women, have very limited access to prenatal fitness programs. We seek to facilitate partnerships to expand access to quality, prenatal fitness programs.
