Best 4 Yoga Teachers in San Jose for Postpartum Recovery in 2026

Jeanna Lurie is one of the most credentialed perinatal and pelvic-floor teachers in the South Bay, an E-RYT 500 and RPYT with 22 years of teaching since 2004 and training in Leslie Howard's Pelvic Floor Yoga method. She has contributed to UCSF research on urinary incontinence and serves as a program director, and her private sessions focus squarely on pelvic-floor function and pre/postnatal recovery. Pricing is transparent: an initial 75-90 minute assessment with structured follow-ups, which is rare in this field.

• Postpartum Specialization: pelvic-floor and perinatal work is the prominent, central focus of her practice and The Nesting Spot (20/20)
• Qualifications & Experience: E-RYT 500 and RPYT verified character-for-character on her About page, teaching pre & postnatal yoga consistently since 2004 (22 years) and Pelvic Floor Yoga since 2018 (20/20)
• Personal Postpartum Experience: first person on her About page: she 'found her passion for supporting new families when she became a mom for the first time in 2001' and her 'three children, born 2001, 2008, and 2010, have taught her the most'; motherhood and the path that followed are stated without a detailed birth or recovery account (10/15)
• Client Reviews from Postpartum Mothers: named testimonials present with postpartum-specific content (12/15)
• Price (60min): transparent $129-169 band published for sessions (3/10)
• 1-on-1 Private Focus: core offering (10/10)
• Booking Accessibility: email and phone with a published weekday window; no self-serve calendar (7/10)

Nanci Nardona is one of the South Bay's most seasoned perinatal teachers, an E-RYT 500 and RPYT (registered prenatal yoga teacher) and certified labor doula whose perinatal work dates back over two decades. The longest-running instructor at Almaden Yoga, she pairs prenatal and postnatal yoga with birth-doula support, perinatal massage and trauma-release (TRE) work, and carries a deep, philosophy-driven approach to the whole arc from pregnancy through recovery. Private and in-home sessions are available for the early postpartum window.

• Postpartum Specialization: perinatal work is a regular part of a broad wellness practice spanning yoga, massage, meditation, Reiki, TRE and birth doula services (12/20)
• Qualifications & Experience: E-RYT 500 and RPYT verified on her site, alongside CMT, birth doula and TRE provider credentials and 30 years in bodywork (20/20)
• Personal Postpartum Experience: her bio states no motherhood and no postpartum experience of her own; her perinatal grounding is presented professionally, as a birth doula (3/15)
• Client Reviews from Postpartum Mothers: praise present with some perinatal content, not all postpartum-specific (9/15)
• Price (60min): no prices published on the site (1/10)
• 1-on-1 Private Focus: privates and in-home sessions are a core part of the offering (10/10)
• Booking Accessibility: phone and email via the studio; no calendar (3/10)

Wenwen is the founder of Wenyoga Studio in Sunnyvale and San Jose, with more than a decade of teaching, and she offers a named private “1-on-1 Postpartum Yoga” session alongside the studio's aerial and wheel programme. The private page sets out the format but does not publish her training or rates, so ask when you enquire.

• Postpartum Specialization: a named 1-on-1 postpartum yoga offering, a regular part of the menu, within a studio whose main identity is aerial and wheel yoga (12/20)
• Qualifications & Experience: the private-class page used as her listing publishes no yoga training hours, provider or teaching-year count, so the earlier E-RYT 200 / RYT 500 / YACEP entries have no evidence on the page a reader lands on (3/20)
• Personal Postpartum Experience: runs prenatal and postpartum offerings but states nothing about being a mother (3/15)
• Client Reviews from Postpartum Mothers: reviews present but mostly about general and aerial classes rather than postpartum work (5/15)
• Price (60min): package tiers are named (single, 10-class, 20-class) but no amounts are published (1/10)
• 1-on-1 Private Focus: dedicated 1-on-1 postpartum offering (10/10)
• Booking Accessibility: phone and website enquiry (7/10)

Aya Dunin offers Perinatal Yoga alongside Yin, Inner Yoga, somatic therapy and ecstatic dance, describing herself on her site as a certified Hakomi somatic therapist and transformation coach. Her perinatal work sits within that broader practice rather than as a standalone specialism, and her site does not publish yoga training details or rates.

• Postpartum Specialization: Perinatal Yoga is a named, regular offering blended with Yin, InnerYoga, somatic therapy and ecstatic dance rather than a central focus (12/20)
• Qualifications & Experience: her live site lists no yoga training hours, provider or teaching-year count; she is described as a 'certified Hakomi somatic therapist and transformation coach' offering Perinatal Yoga, so her documented depth is in somatic therapy rather than yoga teaching (3/20)
• Personal Postpartum Experience: her site states no motherhood and no postpartum experience of her own; testimonials describe clients' perinatal experiences, not hers (3/15)
• Client Reviews from Postpartum Mothers: praise spans somatic and dance work; reviews exist but are not postpartum-specific (5/15)
• Price (60min): no prices published on the site (1/10)
• 1-on-1 Private Focus: privates are available alongside group and coaching work (7/10)
• Booking Accessibility: clarity call bookable via Calendly (7/10)
