This series is ideal for adults with their babies ages six weeks to pre-crawling. Mom + baby bonding yoga class will help support you through the early months of caring for a new baby in community with other new moms. This bonding class for moms + babies, and moms with other moms focuses on strengthening the spiritual, emotional, and physical bond between postpartum moms and their new baby. All postures for mom will be responsive to the needs of the postpartum body. Class also includes comforting infant massage and various exercises that assist the development of your child’s motor skills.

Rest assured - you will be able to attend to all of your babies (and your own needs) during class. Baby may need to eat, may be fussy, may have a diaper blowout. It's all good - we're here for you and we'll make it all work.

NOTE: All registrants for this series will receive one courtesy class to be used for any yoga class on our regular schedule. We get that life is unpredictable with an infant and that you may need to miss one class in the series. Hopefully this gives moms the flexibility to make it up with a class on our regular schedule.

Join Emily for Yoga 101!

In this 4-week series, Emily will guide you through an exploration of the different parts that make up a traditional yoga class. This includes a deep dive into basic poses, props, transitions, and breathwork. You will learn what sets yoga apart from being just a physical exercise practice, how it affects the nervous system, and why ending with deep relaxation is so important.

This series is taught in a workshop format where participants get to practice what is taught, with time and space for questions.
