History
Established in 2009.
Elise Bowerman started teaching prenatal and postnatal yoga classes in 2009. These classes gained much popularity, which led to a new format of classes: session-based with the business name: Sweet Momma Yoga. As this form of yoga and business worked smoothly for everyone she added a Registered Prenatal Yoga School (RPYS) to get more yoga studios offerings pregnancy and postpartum practices.
In 2023 it was time for a call to action: Birth Humanity was born to prioritize the way women, babies, and birth-givers are cared for. This transformative time in life shapes who we are and who we become. By providing classes and resources for parents to welcome this phase with patience, self-compassion, and knowledge to be the highest version of themselves to benefit their family.
Currently Elise offers Planting the Seed and Birth Training, along with more options for virtual support for mothers and yoga teachers.
Meet the Business Owner: Elise B.
Although Elise had been guiding Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga classes since 2009, it wasn't until her second childbirth (2012) where she felt truly compelled to build a business supporting women in their childbearing years.
After birthing her daughter a nurse thanked Elise for showing her how a truly non-intervened childbirth could look like, and how it is possible to birth focused and rather calmly.
This propelled Elise to cherish her births, her time as a mother of little ones, and connect with as many moms as possible to let them know birth is not something we are to fear.
Birth Humanity (formerly Sweet Momma Yoga) was born out of a need to cultivate a greater community of Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga professionals. Together we are helping women understand their options, know their strength, and to accept this huge transition - we call motherhood.
