Join us for yoga at The Wild, a chill boutique in Greenpoint, Brooklyn offering premium, eco-friendly baby, maternity and nursing items.
Note: Please arrive between 10-15 minutes before your scheduled class.
Our prenatal yoga classes go beyond simply modifying yoga poses. We celebrate community, incorporate childbirth education, and strive to make your pregnancy as comfortable as possible by addressing any aches or pains in your body. Each class includes poses that bring balance and alignment to the pelvis, pelvic floor and pelvic & uterine ligaments. This encourages your baby into a more optimal birthing position so you may have a more functional, less complicated birth.
You’ll explore poses that allow for safe, strong sensation to learn what coping skills you may gravitate toward, as well as how to use them when you are experiencing physical and mental discomfort (like in labor and early parenthood). This mindful exploration of poses will leave you feeling prepared for whatever lies ahead in your pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
The final component to PYC prenatal classes is how childbirth education is integrated. This empowers you to learn about pregnancy, the birth process and early parenthood in a very digestible, non-intimidating way.

Claire has taught at gyms, boutique studios and in office and residential settings across NYC.
“Claire’s prenatal classes at the Wild have been a major highlight of my pregnancy. I started around 22 weeks and continued to show up to class all the way through 39 weeks. I’m grateful for everything she taught me and feel super prepared as I await labor to begin. Not only was Claire’s class extremely educational, she also creates a safe space to share any physical, emotional or mental thoughts and feelings in a welcoming and comfortable environment. I would highly recommend Claire for any expecting yogi!”
