Postnatal Yoga

Yoga with Baby Series

Join us for a journey into yoga-after-baby. For primary caregivers and infants (up to active crawling), our Postnatal Yoga Series is an invitation to connect with yourself and your baby as you navigate these first few months together. Awareness of breath, gentle movements, pelvic floor and core strengthening, and shoulder openings are integral in each class. Postnatal Yoga is definitely a unique class, following its own special rhythm with the babies’ needs; feeding, changing diapers and crying is all expected and inevitable! More than a physical exercise, this is a time to move your body, engage with your little one, and enjoy the community of others in a new way.

 

A special time set aside for you to bond with your baby in a welcoming, fun environment.

 

Come as you are. Never competitive; always enlightening.

FAQ

When should I attend postnatal yoga classes?


Most doctors and midwives recommend allowing yourself 6 weeks postpartum before beginning any regular movement or exercise routine. We invite you to talk with your healthcare professional and listen to your own body to determine the best time for you. Open to all—no yoga experience necessary.
