Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) July 23, 2014

YogaVibes, the premium source for streaming online yoga classes and free yoga videos, is excited to present new prenatal yoga videos with Yoga Trees popular teacher, Jane Austin.

Passionate about yoga and the transformative power of motherhood, Jane Austin specializes in working with prenatal and postnatal mamas. For two decades, Jane has worked with mamas, not only as a yoga teacher but also as a midwife, doula (labor assistant), and childbirth educator. Informed by years of experience working in the field of womens health, she is uniquely suited to instruct yoga to women as they transition into motherhood.

"I'm thrilled to be able to offer my prenatal yoga classes online with YogaVibes, says Jane. It can be challenging to find a studio that offers prenatal yoga at a convenient time or any class at all that is appropriate for pregnant women. With these online yoga classes, you can do yoga when you want and where you want. With this online format, it is my intention to make yoga more accessible to more mamas everywhere."

Janes recent prenatal yoga class, filmed live at Yoga Tree Hayes, is designed to help women transition in body and mind from waking to sleeping. This calming practice focuses on slowing down and moving deeper into a place of rest and rejuvenation. With a focus on hip and back stretches, the yoga postures instructed will assist in unwinding, letting go, and preparing for sleep.

To practice more prenatal yoga with Jane, check out her on-going collection of yoga videos featuring Prenatal Yoga at the Wall and Childbirth Preparation Yoga options.

Lehigh Valley Yoga Festival Highlights

Yoga and music and wellness om my!

The inaugural Lehigh Valley Yoga Festival on July 26 presents a full day and evening of mindful experiences for the body and spirit at the Nurture Nature Center in Easton.

The festival represents a coming together of the Lehigh Valley's fast-growing yoga community and showcases the expertise of 40 presenters representing many different fields.

This synthesis sprang from a simple Facebook post by Jo-Ann Temple-Hindon, a yoga and meditation instructor. "I put up the simple status: 'Lehigh Valley Yoga Festival 2014. Anybody with me?' It turned out a lot of people were in favor of that. The response was overwhelming."

Temple-Hindon says the goal was to "keep everything as local as possible and spotlight all the different schools and teachers in the Valley and bring them all together for a celebration of yoga."

The festival is for newbies and experienced practicioners, adults and children. Attendees can sample different styles of yoga to find "what they're most comfortable with. Then they can seek that out after the festival," says Temple-Hindon. For example, beginners looking to address stress, anxiety or insomnia might target "Restorative Yoga," and thrill seekers can bring a partner to try the dynamic "Acro Yoga: Learning to Fly" class.

The event launches at 10 a.m. with an Opening Prayer of Harmony led by festival board members Hindon, Alicia Rambo Wozniak, Prahba Sinha and Deva Vidya. It concludes with a concert by Sean Johnson & the Wild Lotus Band, a world music trio based in New Orleans. The group merges ancient mantras with rock, funk, gospel and world grooves. Wozniak, owner of Easton Yoga, says that tickets to concerts by the group, which headlines regularly at nationwide and international music and yoga events, typically sell for as much as or more than the festival's general admission price of $50.

Between these events, there's a diverse array of workshops, lectures, musical performances and, of course, yoga classes in a variety of styles and difficulties. In "Quiet Heart Yoga: The Secret of Breath-Raja Yoga" you will explore the simple act of breathing. "Balance for 55 and Better" demonstrates that the flexibility of a Russian gymnast is not a requirement. Already a yoga enthusiast? Then rev things on the mat with an energizing "Firecracker Flow" class. A Kids Yoga Space delivers child-friendly presentations that include "Family Laughter Yoga" and "Teen Yoga."

In fact, getting kids involved in yoga is at the heart of the festival, which is presented under the auspices of the Pratyush Sinha Foundation. This nonprofit organization, founded by Sinha in 2012, brings the benefits of yoga to at-risk youth in the Allentown School District, Boys and Girls Clubs, The Caring Place and other area locations. Proceeds from the festival will help continue and expand these programs.

"The goal of yoga, whether for kids or adults, is the same: It brings balance to our inner minds. It's all about the mind. But, of course, we use physical postures to kind of get our mind into place. With kids, we need to engage them in a way that's interesting and makes the yoga postures seem like a game," Sinha says. "Even little kids feel a lot of stress, from family, from peer pressure. After a class I always ask what they get from doing yoga, and they say, 'I feel more relaxed, I feel calm.' The next time they're upset they can focus on their breath to calm their mind down."
