Carve out time to nurture yourself in a class purposefully designed to support new moms in reconnecting to their postpartum body. We will focus on stretching the shoulders and neck and strengthening the upper back to relieve tension in the upper body that can build up from tending to baby. We will mindfully reconnect to your core and pelvic floor, relieve achy hips and low back with progressive movements and breathing techniques to meet moms where they are.
This class will focus on mom and her postpartum wellness with the option of including baby in some poses throughout the class. We sing songs and do some movements with baby as well so they remain engaged and feel included in the class.
Absolutely no yoga experience is required to participate and class is designed for moms who are at least six weeks postpartum who have been given clearance for activity from their health care provider. If baby is mobile you are welcome to join and we ask moms to use their best judgement as they may spend most of the time chasing them around the studio!

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”
