Bring your baby along as you carve out time to nurture yourself in a class created specifically for the postpartum season. This nourishing, supportive practice helps you reconnect with your body in a space that makes room for feeding, fussing, movement, and rest.
Through yoga postures and functional movement, we create more space and freedom within while easing tension and gradually rebuilding strength. We pay special attention to areas that often feel overworked or depleted in early motherhood, including the abdominals, shoulders, neck, hips, and low back. Variations and props are offered so you can meet your body exactly where it is, not where you think it should be.
This class centers on your postpartum well being, with the option to include your baby in some movements throughout class. We sing songs and explore gentle movements together so babies feel included, while moms are always encouraged to pause, feed, soothe, or simply rest whenever needed. There is no pressure to keep up. This is a space where you and your baby are truly welcome.
You do not need any yoga experience to participate. This class is for moms who are at least six weeks postpartum and have been cleared for activity by their health care provider.
Babies typically range from about six weeks up to nine months of age. If your baby is on the move, you know best whether this class will be a good fit. Babies who are just beginning to move tend to do well, while more mobile little ones may require a little more effort to keep out of trouble.
This class is a beautiful way to ease back into movement, reconnect with your body, and be held in a community of other moms who understand this tender, powerful season.
There is no bouncing back here.
There is only being supported, releasing tension, rebuilding strength gently, and showing up, baby in tow.
Come exactly as you are.

We were 7 weeks postpartum when the spring session began – just starting to navigate the world together. There is just a special type of peace that I felt as a new Mom being in your class. The gentle and rejuvenating class was exactly what I needed and helped me get out of the house. Some days Arthur wanted to feed most of class and when he did I always felt so present and happy in the moment with my new babe, even with other babies cooing and crying, sometimes it felt like it was only me and Arthur in the room.
After summer with no yoga class we were so excited to get back, Arthur was now 6 months old and we had so much fun. Reflecting back to the spring, we were so new and gentle – I remember watching the moms with the older babies balancing them on their legs, I wasn’t comfortable doing that. So when we were doing it in class in the fall, I felt so much joy – seeing Arthur’s big smile and giggles that he hadn’t had in the spring. It was amazing to experience this class as a “brand new” Mom and again when we are now so comfortable as mother and son”
