Deena Blumenfeld, RYT Certified Khalsa WayTM Prenatal Yoga Instructor Childbirth
Educator Deena has been practicing Yoga for more
than 10 years. She began practicing Yoga in college and fell in love with it.
Her experience as a dance instructor led her to realize that teaching Yoga was
on her path as well. While pregnant with her son, she experienced the joys of a
Prenatal Yoga class. The community created in that class, as well as her own
development, birthed a desire to teach Prenatal Yoga. She is an advocate of empowered birth for
women. Through teaching Prenatal Yoga and Childbirth Education classes, she
helps women be more confident in their choices regarding pregnancy, birth and
parenthood. In May of 2010, Deena embarked on her Lamaze certification program. Adding these credentials has strengthened her ability further help couples on their path to parenthood. She became a certified Yoga instructor
through 3rd Street Yoga in December 2008. She completed her Prenatal
Yoga training in February 2009 in Los Angeles at Golden Bridge Yoga with
Gurmukh. Deena has taken workshops with Doug
Keller, Max Strom, as well as from Ina May Gaskin, our nation’s premier
midwife. She continues to seek out appropriate workshops for enhancing both her
teaching skills and personal development. In addition, Deena teaches Bellydance and
Prenatal Bellydance. She is a Tribal Fusion dancer, having studied under
numerous instructors. Through dance she expresses the freedom to enjoy the
human body, to relax and to be in the moment. Deena is also a proud mom to Owen, April 2005, and Elaine, March 2009. Training "A Day With Ina May", Childbirth Educator training 3/28/09.
