Yogisnest by Yamini Dsilva- Yoga Classes in Virar

On July 30th, 2025, I welcomed my baby boy, into this world through a natural vaginal delivery — a day that redefined strength, patience, and grace for me. My pregnancy journey wasn’t an easy one. I had always dreamt of a natural birth, so in my second trimester, I began prenatal yoga with Yamini, determined to prepare my body and mind for it. But in April, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, which turned my journey upside down. Suddenly, every meal, every walk, and every yoga session became part of a disciplined rhythm. I followed a strict diet, walk routine, and continued yoga three times a week — doing everything in my power to stay strong and hopeful. Gestational diabetes often increases the chances of a C-section, as babies tend to grow larger than normal. When my doctor suggested inducing labor at 39 weeks, I wasn’t emotionally ready to walk into the hospital without experiencing natural contractions. That’s when Yamini became more than just a yoga instructor — she became my anchor. Through those anxious final weeks, Yamini believed in me more than I believed in myself. She patiently guided me — teaching me how to breathe through pain, use humming sounds to stay centered, and practice specific movements on the birthing ball to help labor progress naturally. She even told me I could call her any time of the day, no matter the time zone difference between India and the U.S., and she truly meant it — always there to listen, encourage, or simply calm my fears. Beyond the physical preparation, she taught me acceptance. She reminded me that if things didn’t go as planned and I needed a C-section, that was okay too — that trusting my doctor and doing what’s best for my baby was what truly mattered. Her faith in me and the preparation we did together gave me the confidence I needed. When the day finally came, I was ready — calm, grounded, and strong. And just like that, after all the uncertainty and effort, I delivered my baby boy naturally. But what makes Yamini truly special is what came after. Most people consider the yoga journey complete once the baby arrives. Yamini didn’t. She stayed in touch — checking in on my well-being, guiding me through the early days of motherhood, showing me how to swaddle, rock baby to sleep, and reminding me to care for myself too. She did all this with the warmth and wisdom of an elder sister, not just a teacher. I’ll forever be grateful for her unwavering support, compassion, and belief in me. Because of her, I not only birthed my baby — I discovered a stronger, more resilient version of myself.

I joined Yamini’s yoga classes during my second trimester, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of my pregnancy! Her sessions were perfectly tailored for expecting moms — every asana was thoughtfully modified according to our comfort levels, making it both safe and enjoyable. Yamini’s deep knowledge of prenatal yoga and her calm, encouraging teaching style helped me stay active, positive, and confident throughout my pregnancy. I’m so grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to any mom-to-be!

I had a wonderful experience learning from Yamini during my pregnancy. Her guidance and support made such a difference — the chanting helped me stay calm and manage the pain during labour, and the yoga exercises from day one played a big part in helping me have a normal delivery. I’m truly grateful for her care and encouragement throughout this journey.

I had the pleasure of joining Yamini’s prenatal yoga sessions during my third trimester, and it has been a truly transformative experience. Despite the online format, Yamini’s attention to detail and dedication to each pose made it feel as personal and effective as an in-person class. Her focus on breathing techniques was particularly invaluable, helping me stay calm and centered as my body changed. The sessions covered a variety of essential practices, including pelvic strengthening exercises, lower and upper back stretches, and even suryanamaskar adapted for pregnancy. I felt more active, supported, and confident throughout my third trimester, thanks to her guidance. Yamini’s expertise in prenatal wellness and her gentle encouragement have been a true blessing on this journey.❤️

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your incredible guidance and support throughout the maternity yoga classes. Your calm presence, thoughtful teachings, and the space you created for all of us made such a difference during my pregnancy. The breathing techniques, stretches, and mindfulness practices you taught were truly invaluable during my labour. I found myself returning to those tools again and again—they helped me stay grounded, present, and connected to my body through every stage. I honestly can’t imagine having gone through it without that foundation. Thank you for being such a calming, empowering presence throughout this journey. I’m so grateful for everything you shared.

I began my prenatal yoga journey with Yamini in my 3rd month of pregnancy, and it has truly been one of the best decisions I’ve made during this special time. From the very first session, Yamini’s calm energy, deep knowledge, and gentle guidance made me feel safe, supported, and connected to my body and growing baby. The yoga sessions not only included asanas but also a beautiful blend of meditation, breathing techniques, and Garbha Sanskar, which helped me stay grounded and emotionally connected. I still remember my last session with Yamini—I had already started experiencing labour pains, and there I was, actively doing pelvic exercises with her support. I truly want to raise a toast to Yamini for not only guiding me throughout my pregnancy but also staying in constant touch during and after labour, checking on how I was doing, and continuously boosting my confidence—reminding me that I could do it, even without an epidural. Honestly, it wouldn’t have been possible without you, Yamini. The way you continue to support and uplift me in my postpartum journey is simply amazing, and I’m genuinely overwhelmed with gratitude.

I've taken pre natal yoga sessions from Yamini and it was really really helpful furing my labor. Her classes really helped me a lot during my third trimester. She approaches everyone personally and find out if any help is required and also the birth prep one on one session was also really helpful for me. I would for sure recommend her to my friends.
