Pregnancy is a wild ride. Week by week, you are transformed, shifting and shaping in new ways, creating space inside for your baby to grow and preparing for the intense physical and emotional experience of birth. Soon you will be a parent to someone you know and also don’t know. It is a fruitful time to step away and give yourself space and time to care for your body and spirit and to nourish yourself with movement, knowledge, rest, nature, delicious food and meaningful conversation.

Led by Sonia Reiter, the retreat will include daily yoga practice, a workshop on the core and pelvic floor and how to prepare them for birth and postpartum recovery, contemplative practices and more. Limited slots of prenatal massage will be available for an additional fee.

It will take place at Groundworks, a gorgeous and tranquil retreat center founded by legendary Brooklyn midwife Kristen Leonard and her husband Frank. Groundworks is located on 35 acres in Gardiner, NY (about 2 hours from NYC).  Enjoy unparalleled views of the Shawangunk Ridge while walking trails including the walking meditation path, sitting in one of the gazebos, or lying in a hammock with a good book. Sit on the deck to enjoy a gorgeous sunset , choose a fire pit to sit around, breathe the night air and gaze at the star filled sky.

You will be nourished with healthful, delicious, vegetable-forward meals and snacks prepared in-house using the freshest, most local ingredients possible including those from the on-site organic garden and eggs from the free ranging chickens.
