The Ma Collective's mission is to establish a nurturing community for pregnant women and new mothers, and help them transform the challenges of pregnancy into opportunities for growth and empowerment. At the core of our “Ma Circles” is a unique, alignment-based yoga and birth prep curriculum that not only promotes physical health for pregnancy and postpartum, but also nurtures inner strength and emotional well-being.Our commitment extends to providing wellness education for pregnant women and new mothers nationwide, regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds. We are dedicated to ensuring that every pregnant woman can access yoga, lifestyle education, and a nurturing community, all of which are vital components of a transformative journey to postpartum and beyond.Since our inception in 2009, Ma Yoga has been deeply committed to community empowerment and providing tools to help teachers change lives. Through our trainings and coaching, the 'Ma Circles' program has provided yoga and birth preparation classes to more than 18,000 moms-to-be. Our approach combines the physical benefits of alignment-based yoga with the emotional support of a compassionate community, complemented by a non-judgmental birth choices philosophy that encourages expectant mothers to both "educate and meditate."We envision the Ma Collective as a catalyst for positive change, fostering healthier and happier mothers, thereby contributing to healthier families and a more interconnected, nurturing society. With the invaluable support of the FC-Maternal grant, we can make a profound impact on the lives of countless women and their families.

In 2009 I founded Ma Yoga for Pregnancy, Postpartum & Beyond, a school of yoga specifically for guiding and inspiring mamas. After seeing growing to more than 10 Southern California locations, I saw how life-changing just a little of the right kind of guidance, support, and education can be for moms-to-be everywhere.After Covid we moved our prenatal yoga and postpartum recovery classes 100% online, and we've loved getting to support mamas all over the world, in an accessible, affordable way.The "Ma" in Ma Yoga means "mother love" in just about every language. And in Sanskrit, the ancient language of yoga, it also means the "highest, most powerful and wise" - like Ma Kali, the Mother of all goddesses.After working with pregnant women for more than 20 years, I've seen over and over again how when we slow down, listen inward and honor what we hear, turning the same kind of mother love toward ourselves that we usually reserve for little humans we care about, we begin to reconnect to our innate power and wisdom.That's why Ma Yoga isn't just about being pregnant with a baby.It's learning to co-create whatever's gestating with us - whether that's an idea, a vision, or a new way of showing up in the world.We'd love to have you in the Ma Yoga Zoom Room - drop by for a free class! 💗🧘🙏

Developed and ran a program of group medical visits and yoga for pregnant women at the Los Angeles Medical Center. Worked with doctors, midwives, nurses and staff to schedule 8 groups of pregnant patients at all times. Visits included group discussions, quick one-on-ones with the practitioner and then medical discussion with the doctor or midwife. And then 45 minutes of Prenatal Yoga (see study for satisfaction results).
