The Root: Birth, Babies, Beyond

If you are looking for community during pregnancy and the transition to parenthood, this is the place! I took pre-natal education and yoga here in the second half of my pregnancy (which was great for a first-time parent who hadn't really been around babies in years), but the real gift has been the membership in post-partum. The community as a new parent has also been invaluable! They do a great job of including partners in the classes and are queer and poly friendly.

I started at The Root with Prenatal Yoga and absolutely loved the class! We ended up taking all of our birth prep classes here as well and I'm so glad we did. Kelli is super informative and gives you the information to help make your own decisions around what you want your birthing experience to be like. I've also enjoyed the postpartum classes (in a virtual environment) and love the community aspect of The Root. Highly recommend The Root to any new mamas!

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.

I started going to The Root when I was a few months pregnant. I participated in prenatal yoga, tea talks and labor/delivery courses. From day one I found myself immersed in such a supportive, informative, experienced community of woman. All my prenatal anxiety was just not normalized but accepted. I learned so much from the owner Kellie and other moms. Now, my little one is 5 months and we love to go to baby and me yoga, postnatal sculpt and participate in groups. Parenthood has so many unknowns and The Root has been my sanity. I would highly recommend this community to anyone who is a parent or expecting.

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!
