Mothering the Mother: Prenatal Yoga & Postpartum Doula Services

Arlinda is a trauma-informed yoga teacher, Yoga Nidra guide, postpartum doula, and founder of Arlinda’s Asanas — a Black and brown-owned yoga space rooted in healing, accessibility, and community care.
Born and raised in North Philadelphia, Arlinda discovered yoga during one of the darkest seasons of her life after losing her mother at a young age. What began as a personal healing practice eventually became a calling to help others reconnect with themselves through movement, mindfulness, breathwork, and yoga philosophy.
Today, she offers intentional yoga classes in Jenkintown and Philadelphia designed to support beginners, mothers, trauma survivors, caregivers, and anyone seeking a deeper connection to yoga beyond the workout.
Her classes blend grounding movement, honest storytelling, good music, guided meditation, and nervous system support — all while creating a welcoming environment where students can show up exactly as they are.
Because yoga was never meant to be about perfection.
It was meant to bring us back to ourselves.
Where are classes held?
I currently teach in Jenkintown, PA, with classes at Fit For Life Jenkintown
I also offer seasonal events, kids yoga programs, and private prenatal yoga sessions. You can always find my up-to-date schedule here
What types of yoga do you offer?
Vinyasa Yoga – A dynamic, flowing practice that links breath to movement, building strength, balance, and mindfulness.
Yinyasa Yoga – A blend of yin and vinyasa: starting with gentle yin-style holds to release tension, then moving into an energizing flow.
Kids Yoga – Fun, creative movement that helps children build confidence, focus, and emotional awareness.
Prenatal Yoga – Gentle, supportive practices designed for pregnancy, helping relieve discomfort and prepare the body for labor. (Ask about postpartum doula services)
What are the benefits of practicing yoga?
Yoga supports both the body and mind. Physically, it can improve flexibility, strength, and posture while relieving tension. Mentally and emotionally, it reduces stress, increases focus, and creates space for calm. Many students also find yoga helps them sleep better, breathe easier, and feel more grounded in daily life.
What should I expect in class?
Expect a welcoming environment where all levels are celebrated. Mats and props are often available (check the class description), but you’re welcome to bring your own. Wear comfortable clothing you can move in. Every class includes breathwork, guided movement, and time for rest—so you’ll leave feeling balanced and refreshed.
What is a postpartum doula and what services do you provide?
A postpartum doula supports families during the transition after birth. My services include:
Newborn care guidance
Support for infant feeding (breast/chest/bottle)
Light household support (meals, laundry, tidying)
Emotional support and resources for parents
Gentle yoga and breathwork for postpartum healing
