Love Child Yoga & Midwifery | Manhattan, NY

Love Child is truly an amazing resource for pre and postnatal folks! The prenatal yoga classes were a great way to stay active and prepare my body for birth, prenatal massages with Brandy were absolutely wonderful and significantly helped my pelvic dysfunction (LIKE WOW, THANK YOU BRANDY), and the new parent circles have been a great source of support and information. I look forward to their baby and me yoga classes next. Love Child has really been such a lovely and intimate experience, something hard to come by these days. THANK YOU, NEELU. I highly recommend!

I have been going to prenatal yoga since I was about 12 weeks pregnant and have had the best experience! I am now 26 weeks and plan to continue through to the end of my pregnancy. Highly recommend Love Child! Adding to my review since giving birth! I continued attending classes up until two days before I went into labor! I did various yoga poses throughout labor and know it helped my little one come into the world safely (and swiftly!). In addition to regularly attending classes, I saw Brandi (magician or masseuse, unsure) for prenatal and postnatal massages and Connie for acupuncture. While I loved all of the classes and supports, the best part of Love Child is the camaraderie, support and friendships with other moms as I navigated new motherhood. I so recommend all the supports LoveChild has to offer during such a transformative time. We love LoveChild!

Cannot recommend this studio enough. Neelu is an incredible instructor and so knowledgeable. Classes are the right balance of low impact but still make you feel like you’re getting stronger. We loved our birthing class as well. Any pregnant mama to be should come here!

Neelu, Holly and the team at Lovechild have been the most wonderful and supportive community for me throughout my prenatal, postpartum and parenting journey. Lovechild is SO much more than just Yoga and I don’t know how I would have prepared and survived the journey that is new parenthood without them! From amazing prenatal yoga which truly helped me to not only prepare for birth but through all the aches and pains of pregnancy to acupuncture, new parents circles, postnatal strength, baby and me yoga and other baby and children’s activities Lovechild is really a one stop shop for any new or expecting parent. The incredible, high quality services offered at Lovechild are really just the tip of the iceberg I feel so grateful to be a part of the amazing community that Neelu has created. Her true passion for Lovechild clearly shows every day through the genuine care and concern she has for all members of the community. I feel so fortunate to have met so many like minded people and have a warm, caring and open place to go that truly feels like an extension of my own home. I truly could not recommend Lovechild more!

Cannot say enough great things about this studio!! Highly recommend for all expecting mothers. So much more than a yoga class— Neelu does an incredible job of fostering a community for both pre and post baby. She really cares about each person in class and I felt this was a great resource for each stage of my pregnancy. A great way to meet other mom friends and you cannot miss baby and me yoga. Thank you so much, Neelu!!

This is EXACTLY what I needed while pregnant. These classes made me feel so strong as well as being a huge relief from the pains and stresses of being pregnant. I made some great new friends as well! And the baby and me classes are so fun! Almost makes me want to have another baby!
