After going through a transformative birthing experience, Kellie Edson was inspired to pursue childbirth education. As she began her work with expecting parents, Kellie realized that families could be best served if perinatal services were together all in one place. So in 2018, she opened The Root in Sacramento — the city’s first holistic perinatal wellness center offering prenatal + postpartum yoga, childbirth education and community support.

The Root offers its members unlimited prenatal / postpartum yoga, strength training and Pilates classes to help you find strength, balance and joy. Members can come into the studio or take the classes virtually from the comfort of their own home.

The Root is currently offering a low intro membership rate of $99/month, which includes:
