This class is for new moms to share quality time with their babies and other moms through an energizing yoga practice. The class will be around 60 minutes (depending on the babies' temperament!) with some time after for relaxing and chatting.
Moms will enjoy a vinyasa/ flow yoga practice and learn how to include baby in her practice. The class will mainly consist of poses for mom, incorporating and partnering with baby where possible, and with baby yoga postures throughout. Poses will help mom refocus, regain strength and flexibility and soothe muscles from nursing and holding baby. During the class, moms may stop to feed or soothe baby and rejoin the practice when it is possible and comfortable to do so.
Pre-mobile babies (from 6 weeks and NOT WALKING) and expecting mothers are welcome. Previous yoga experience is not necessary, but is helpful. For baby, it is recommended not to practice for 2 days after any immunizations, though use your discretion in terms of baby's temperament.
Bring a yoga mat, water, blanket and quiet toys for baby. If you do not have a mat, or forget yours, you can rent one directly from Yoga Tree.
There are limited spots for LWAB members - pre-registration and non-refundable payment guarantees your spot in the class. If you do not pay online, please bring exact change for the instructor.
For January, a special single class rate of $5 per class applies. Monthly sessions begin in February.
Unregistered drop-in spots are available, at a walk-in rate of $10, payable directly to Yoga Tree.
Note: All proceeds go toward studio rental and programming for Life With A Baby. Walk-in fees are payable to Yoga Tree.
