Meet Your Ma Yoga Prenatal Instructor

Melanie Wachsman

I came to yoga in 2000 from a dance background, I have always been athletic. I quickly learned the powerful healing powers of yoga, especially from Anusara Yoga. As a birth and postpartum Doula I see yoga as an essential part of the birth process. My knowledge as a Doula influences how I teach my prenatal classes. My goal is to empower women and give them the skills to manage pregnancy and labor. It is an honor to be part of a woman’s birth journey. Questions about this class? I would love to hear from you! doulamellie@earthlink.net

Reviews of Prenatal Yoga Classes at Ma Yoga Culver City

(or other Ma Yoga classes taught by Melanie)

Prenatal yoga helped me prepare for birth

Honestly the hardest part was not the pain but resisting the urge to push as we waited for my doctor to arrive. My body was totally ready to give birth and fighting against the urge was challenging, but controlling my breath was the key to mastering it. Melanie, everything you taught me over the past six months came into play and helped prepare me for that wonderful night, I will never be able to fully express how honored and grateful I feel for all the wisdom you shared with me as I took your class, but my husband, my mother, and I agree that it all played into my ability to stay focused and have a wonderful and completely natural child birth experience. My family and beautiful son thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!

I highly recommend this to moms-to-be

These yoga classes are great. The space is cozy and homey and Jessica is a very warm and knowledgeable teacher. I often walk in feeling like my back and hips are all out of whack and then walk out feeling *amazing*. I love the community here too–it’s so helpful to hear how other pregnant woman are feeling and it’s a very supportive place.
Also–I wasn’t sure if this would be a place that would have a “you must have a natural home birth” vibe, but it totally isn’t. All choices are embraced and that feels really nice–it’s very nonjudgmental.
I highly recommend this to moms-to-be…I always feel looser and taller and calmer after these classes, and if you buy a 10-class pack it’s a very good deal.

My obstetrician recommended prenatal yoga

My obstetrician recommended prenatal yoga to help me with stress. I googled around and found Ma Yoga. I went to the first free class and enjoyed it. It was harder than I thought it would be, but I left feeling better. I kept attending until roughly 38 weeks, but returned a month later for their mommy and me classes. My instructor was Jessica and I really loved her attitude and the class. I’ve kept up with several of the mothers I met in class… Toward the end of my pregnancy, despite being the size of a small house, I was definitely getting better at all the poses and my balance.

Your class was like a lifeline

Hi Jessica,
I just wanted to drop you a line and express my gratitude for the confidence you’ve inspired in me as I approach labor. Your class was like a lifeline, with your words of wisdom echoing through me as I approach the big day and beyond!
Additionally, the learning and insightful instruction I’ve received has led to a much more comfortable last month than I anticipated. Daily I’m aware of my alignment and my inner/outer spiral! I also spend a little time each day with the restorative poses you taught in class.
My best wishes and gratitude! See you on the other side!
Blessings,

The best thing I could have done.

I started going to Ma Yoga when I was 16 weeks pregnant. It was the best thing I could have done for myself! After being so sick for the first 3 months it was so nice to have something to look forward to each week and to be around other women who could sympathize.
Prenatal yoga also helped a lot with the normal aches and pains of pregnancy. I felt myself getting stronger and overall feeling much better each time I went. It was also very soothing for my nerves and helped me deal with the general stress of being pregnant.
I’ve missed the past month due to conflicts with child care classes offered by my hospital but am looking forward to finishing out the last 4 weeks of my pregnancy at Ma Yoga! Hopefully I will be able to attend the mommy and me classes for a bit afterward as well while I am on maternity leave.

Relief from discomfort and pain

Yoga has relieved the discomfort and the aches of pregnancy and made the experience more enjoyable. It has made me aware of simple things I can correct on a daily basis to relieve common pregnancy symptoms. I learn something new every week. Highly recommended.

I was prepared for delivery day!

My Ma Yoga prenatal yoga class was an invaluable part of my pregnancy. Not only did it help prepare my body for the marathon of birth, but it was vital in helping me prepare mentally for the delivery day, as well as the postpartum period. Melanie facilitated discussions that were essential for the new mama to hear, and begin to think about long before meeting her child. Melanie is also such a gifted teacher that cares for your growing belly and your overall health. I know my baby and I became stronger, and flourished because of her instruction! I also loved that we became such a close knit group under Melanie’s care, and that each member of the class received such encouragement while in the class, and was truly celebrated once they “graduated”! I would say to any pregnant woman to give themselves the gift of Ma yoga, not only for the supportive community, but it may be the only 90 minutes in your week that you get to focus on your pregnancy in a way that is quite special.

Thanks for caring so much

All the techniques I learned and practiced in your yoga class also helped me to achieve this birth. I kept reminding myself to breathe and also used horse lips and low moaning sounds to get me through. I am definitely sad that I will no longer be attending class but am SO very thankful for everything you taught me and for having had the opportunity to be in class throughout my pregnancy. Giving birth is an amazing experience and totally worth it– we woman ARE strong & our bodies ARE definitely perfect and capable of birthing our babies– just as nature intended it to. Thanks for caring so much and for your amazing class Melanie!

Gentle, good workout with my baby

I took Andrea's Mom & Baby Yoga class and I will definitely be going again. I've also taken her pre-natal yoga classes and enjoyed those as well. I felt so comfortable to bring my 7-month baby, care for him and even nurse him while getting some blood flowing and stretching my body. It's also good to connect with other Moms and babies as well.
It not easy for me to get out of the house with my little one, but once I got there, the setting is so peaceful, it just felt great to be there. It's right near the ocean,, with the windows open, I got to feel that nice beachy breeze while doing my poses. Andrea's words were soothing, supportive and empowering. It was gentle, but I still feel like I got a good workout AND quality time out of the house with my baby.
I left feeling invigorated and energized to do more with my day.
