Prenatal Partner Yoga Workshop
This 75-minute prenatal yoga workshop is designed for parents-to-be. It is a great way to spend some quality time with your partner and celebrate your growing family.
Galina has prepared a fun and educational class that equally engages both parents with moves that are beneficial and safe for the pregnant body. This workshop was inspired by Galina`s own pregnancy journey and her husband's desire to be helpful during those months.
This is not a birthing class, it is a class that shows partners how to play an active role during pregnancy, especially the last bits of it, which typically are the hardest. Couples will leave with knowledge of yogic pain management tools, poses to target achy lower backs, shoulders, and sides of the body for better breathing and more.
No yoga experience required. Unless noted, all classes are from 10:30 - 11:45 AM.
Upcoming Dates:
October 18th
November 15th
December 20th
Investment: $40/Couple for non-members
$15 for Root Member couple (email admin@sacroot.com for discount code)
About the Instructor: Galina has been a yoga practitioner since 2007. For years she has relied on yoga to support her physical and emotional well being.
In 2015 Galina was going through major life changes and needed a fresh start. She took a trip to the Himalaya mountains with her local yoga community and stayed in a little village surrounded by a forest full of curious monkeys. For a month Galina worked through a deep body and mind cleanse at a local Ayurvedic clinic, and attended morning chants at an Ashram followed by yoga practice. That trip was truly transforming.
The planted seeds sprouted after Galina moved to California and took an opportunity to complete a 200-hour “LEVITYoGA” YTT taught by Peter Sterios in 2019. Her own teaching journey began shortly after with a weekly all level class at The Space yoga studio in Visalia, CA.
2023 was another year of change. Galina and her husband were expecting their first baby. During the pregnancy Galina completed Prenatal and Postpartum yoga teacher training and offered prenatal yoga workshops. After the baby boy arrived the family moved to the Sacramento area where Galina continues to teach prenatal yoga.

Hi, I’m Lindsay — a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps couples feel more connected, supported, and understood in their relationship. I’m trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which means I focus on helping partners strengthen their emotional bond, communicate more effectively, and break out of the patterns that leave them feeling stuck or disconnected. I’m especially passionate about supporting couples as they prepare for big life transitions like becoming parents. Because while bringing home a baby is beautiful, it can also be overwhelming — and your relationship deserves just as much care and attention during that time. I'm especially passionate about this not just because of my professional training but because I've lived this. I'm a wife and mom to two little kids and I understand how quickly the mental load, exhaustion, and shifting roles can impact even the strongest relationships. My goal is to help you feel more connected, supported, and like you're truly on the same team as you navigate this next chapter.

Reframing our Stories Workshops with Kara Haug
Holding Space
A Support Group for 7th and 8th Graders on Relationships
Middle school is the time when we really start to change and are easily influenced by others. Our youth today have a lot to navigate around screens, expectations from schools, increased awareness of our greater world, and figuring out relationships. This is why I wanted to create a monthly space for youth to come and talk all about it. In this time together we will focus on social/emotional wellness, relationship skills, and help them learn about their own values and what matters to them. From my work with youth, when you give them time and a chance to talk about what matters to them, they appreciate the opportunity. This space will be a chance for them to sort through their confusions and wonderings, and help them navigate relationships with others.
Upcoming Dates: 2nd Wednesdays of the month, 6:30 - 7:30 PM
November 11th
December 9th
January 13th
Cost: $25 per session
