Stretch, bond, and breathe with your baby in this special yoga class designed for new mothers and infants. Meet other parents and babies while you strengthen and support your postpartum, sleep-deprived body with specifically chosen asanas. Using interactive postures that incorporate your baby, you will strengthen your core, improve your posture, build confidence and relax using inspirational postures and breathing techniques. Every class will devote time to gentle, hands-on yoga and massage for babies- aiding in digestion and promoting the sleep-wake cycle. Bonding postures and playful songs are also explored. Dress comfortably and bring blankets for your baby, Baby Boppy (optional), or any other “supplies” to make your baby comfortable on the floor. This is a supportive and welcoming space. You may change, feed, or take care of all of your baby's needs right in the room. All Caregivers welcome! Please bring water to stay hydrated and an optional baby carrier.
