Postpartum is forever. This class supports women and caregivers no matter where she is on her life journey. Explore what “core strength” really means and how to properly engage the pelvic floor and transverse abdominal muscles for optimal function and wellbeing.
We all could use a break from the push, go, do, and prove mentality. Set it aside and rejuvenate to be the best version of yourself off the mat.

Traditionally, yoga is practiced on an empty belly (refraining from meals 2 hours before practice.) Being a parent is a never-ending job. Prioritizing your food and water intake is laughable. If you need to eat before coming to class - eat! Just like in prenatal yoga: perhaps avoid that chili cheese dog until after class, but enjoy a small sandwich, veggies, fruit or crackers to tide you over.
Most importantly: please do not leave early. Allowing time for a restorative pose (savasana) integrates the work you have done… even if you’re just walking around the room with baby. Becoming aware of your body, mind and breath will assist you through this phase of life and beyond. Embrace the moments with no expectations… and maybe some stillness with a wiggly baby.
Enjoy a yoga practice like no other! This class is designed with mom and baby in mind. Improve your posture, gain core awareness for a healthier functional body, bond with baby, and make new mom-friends along the way.
No yoga experience necessary.
