Kellie is a gem of a human being with a gigantic heart. She is a leader, visionary, activist and champion of equal rights. She is a community builder, educator and holder of safe space for all those navigating pregnancy and parenthood. I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with her on different projects in our local birth community. Not only does she give a wealth of information and care to every project she works on, she is brave & guided by her moral compass to create an equal, safe and supportive environment for those she serves. I highly recommend getting involved in any project she spearheads in the birth community!

The Root is the best pregnancy and new mama resource that everyone needs to know about! The classes and instructors are so knowledgeable and welcoming. I’ll definitely be going back when baby #2 comes around!

Started coming to The Root for prenatal yoga last year and it was clear early on the owner Kellie was not only offering many kinds classes and groups but also helping build a community for pregnant women, their partners and then for families and babies after delivery. It was so wonderful to be around other pregnant women make friends. Kellie and the other yoga teachers are so amazing helping me feel strong and empowered. I took my child birth class, postpartum care and baby care class here and Kellie is so knowledgeable and the classes interactive and fun. I really appreciated taking my classes from someone with a lot of experience in the Sacramento area birthing community and is not following a prescribed lesson plan like you might get at a hospital.

The Root is a unique and invaluable prenatal and postpartum resource for parents. I loved the postnatal strength and yoga classes during maternity leave, and the community Kellie, the owner, fosters provided both my husband and me a lot of support as we adjusted to being new parents. Can't recommend The Root enough!

What kind of childbirth classes are offered here?

This studio offers both Lamaze style classes and Birthing From Within Classes. Our "Must Have Tools for Labor" class is the ideal childbirth class for couples who want the “need to know” when it comes to Labor and Delivery in an efficient, concise and information packed half-day class. You will learn and practice many productive labor positions, massage and breathing techniques and other comfort measures to use during childbirth, the difference between true and false labor, when to go to your birthing place, and strategies for navigating informed consent/refusal decision-making when it comes to communicating with your healthcare providers.

Can prenatal yoga help you have an easier labor?

Yes! Strength and softening are both needed to move through your labor experience. Our Prenatal Yoga classes are consistently praised for offering the best physical and mental preparation for labor and childbirth.

When should I start Prenatal Yoga?

Kellie Edson | Sep 25, 2021

You can start Prenatal Yoga at any time! I find that many pregnant folks want to wait until they are past the morning sickness of the first trimester, but really, the sooner you join, the sooner you start building a community. There is no too early - Or too late!
