Ananda Nourishment
Ananda Nourishment offers holistic, evidence-informed care for every phase of the perinatal journey.
Whether you’re preparing for birth or navigating life with a newborn, I offer prenatal and postpartum yoga, postpartum doula support,
Hypnobabies Childbirth Education, and nutrition guidance—all designed to meet you where you are.
Yoga That Honors Your Changing Body, Mind, and Life
These are my offerings for the rest of 2025, expect some changes to come in 2026. 25% of all profits will be donated to a local nonprofit.
All bookings are $15 for a single, or a 5 pack for $50. Nobody will be turned away for an inability to pay.
These yoga classes focus less on the movement, and have an emphasis on all of the limbs of yoga.
Birth Ball or Chair Yoga
Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays @ 7am
Location: Virtual
Not pregnancy specific, but safe movement for the pregnant body! BYOB – bring your own ball, or chair, to get the spine moving, re-engage with the muscles of the body, and take a few moments to counter the effects of digital age!
Parent Dharma Walks
(stroller or baby wearing walks)
Tuesdays, Saturdays, Sundays @ 9am
Location: Palmer Park DOLA
A chance to literally walk in your dharma. Walk, give yourself practice being present in the moment, tune into those around you, and notice your being. Grab a cuppa something warm and lets hit the trail. It is considered an easy trail, but it is not paved, so trail sneakers encouraged.
* This walk is dog friendly as it is in the Palmer Park Dog Off Leash Area at the top!
Postpartum Yoga
Mondays @ 1pm
Location: Virtual
For those who have just given birth and are cleared for exercise (or breathing).
In this class we shed the expectations, the need to care for others, and tune into what our bodies are telling us.

As
Hypnobabies® Hypnobirthing
Hypnobabies is a complete evidence based childbirth education course that also teaches medical grade somnambulistic hypnosis technqiues to retrain the inner mind in a positive way which can help lessen discomort and fear from the birthing experience. With adequate preparation, Hypno-students can experience easier, more comfortable births.
What am I signing up for?
- Hypnobabies classes run for 6 weeks and are usually about 3hrs in groups no larger than 6 couples
- The course was adapted with permission from Gerald Kein’s Painless Childbirth Program techniques
- Over the course of those 6 weeks, not only do students practice self-hypnosis in each class, but they get a comprehensive childbirth education course including the various options and pathways that may present themselves during a student’s birthing time, and in the postpartum period.
- Classes are typically offered once seasonally, so its best to plan ahead!
- Access to my Hypno-friendly birth workers and professionals who help pregnant people, their babies, and their families!
When is the next series?
Saturdays from 3pm-6pm in Colorado Springs running December 13 through January 17.
This is a Beginnings Birth Center approved Childbirth Education Course.
If you’re interested in another series but this doesn’t work for you, message me so I can get my next cohort going at a time that works for you! I also occasionally offer privates, depending on availability. Reach out for more info!
If there is not a class that fits with your schedule, please reach out about private (one family for 6 weeks) classes or the Home Study Advantage (HSA) option!

Why work with me?
My Postpartum Doula training is DONA approved
I’ve been studying yoga and Ayurveda for over 15 years. Certified for 6+
I truly believe that western based science and eastern based science can merge
Not only am I a trained professional, but I have lived experience as a parent – not any parent but a 1 time c section, one time unmedicated vaginal birth (VBAC)
Inclusive of “nontraditional” family types,, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive
I consider myself forever the student, learning from my families while sharing what I’ve learned along the way
I’m a gentle parent, Montessori mom myself, so I lead with curiosity and compassion, leaving behind the judgment and authoritarian approach
Based in Colorado, serving families across the front range
If you’re ready to feel supported, or have questions about whether or not any of my services are right for you, do not hesitate to reach out for a consult or a meet and greet. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll help you find who is!
The baby doesn’t need the village.
The baby needs their caregivers.
The caregivers need the village.

About Arlee
I’m Arlee! Originally from Boston, I moved to Colorado in 2021 where my husband and I decided to grow our family. My approach to the world is evidence based and guided by Person Centered Medicine such as Ayurveda.
I’ve been teaching yoga since 2019, growing my skills and expanding my knowledge along the way to offer services to the perinatal population, include Ayurvedic concepts, and encourage connection with the whole body. I’m excited to announce that as of 2025 I’m also offering Postpartum Doula services as well as Childbirth Education and Hypnobabies Hypnobirthing classes!
In my services you can expect to see an inclusive approach that is mindful of your unique circumstance and the use of gender affirming language. I truly believe each family is special in the ways it is unique, and I want to help you nurture that.
