Baby & Barre is a strength-building class designed especially for parents and their little ones. This low-impact barre workout focuses on core, posture, and full-body toning while keeping baby close—whether they’re in a carrier, on a mat, or being cuddled between sets. Expect small, controlled movements, supportive guidance, and plenty of flexibility for feeding, soothing, or taking breaks. No pressure, no perfection—just a chance to move your body, reconnect with your strength, and bond with your baby in a welcoming, judgment-free space. All fitness levels are welcome.
Because taking care of yourself counts too. 💛

All you need: your mat, your energy, and the willingness to be moved in ways that transform you.
This 6 week series is designed to help new mothers safely return to movement while bonding with their babies. This series focuses on rebuilding core strength, pelvic floor stability, and overall mobility through gentle yet effective reformer-based Pilates exercises. Babies (pre-crawlers) are welcome on the reformer carriage, in your arms, or nearby, creating a nurturing environment for both mom and baby.
Led in a small-group setting, this series provides progressive instruction over six weeks, with modifications to meet each mother’s needs. It’s a chance to strengthen your body, connect with your baby, and share the journey with other moms in a supportive community.
Handstand Play + Progress Workshop
90-Minute Yoga Workshop with Taylor
Join Taylor for a playful, empowering 90-minute handstand workshop designed to help you build strength, confidence, and curiosity as you explore being upside down. This workshop is welcoming, encouraging, and focused on intelligent preparation, targeted strengthening, accessible progressions, and mindful integration — whether you’re brand new to handstands or looking to refine your practice.
What to Expect
• Intelligent Prep + Strength & Safety Foundations (35 minutes)
We’ll begin with a thorough, progressive warm-up designed to prepare your body and build the strength needed for safe, sustainable inversions. This portion will focus on:
-
Wrist, shoulder, and core preparation
-
Strength-building and stability drills for inversion support
-
Scapular engagement, alignment cues, and body awareness
-
Learning how to safely exit and “fall out” of handstands to reduce fear and build confidence
-
Foundational exercises and progressions you can integrate into your regular practice
This section sets the foundation so your body feels supported, strong, and confident — knowing not only how to go up, but how to come down safely.
• Handstand Exploration + Progressions (40 minutes)
You’ll explore a variety of handstand options and pathways, including:
-
Wall-supported handstands
-
L-shape variations and balance drills
-
Strength-based transitions and playful exploration
-
Optional freestanding attempts for those who feel ready
Taylor will offer layered options, clear cues, hands-on guidance (if desired), and thoughtful modifications, allowing each student to work at their own edge while building trust in their body.
• Cool Down + Integration (15 minutes)
After all the upside-down play, we’ll move into grounding, nourishing postures to release the wrists, shoulders, spine, and hips — supporting nervous system regulation and muscular recovery.
We’ll close with a slow, calming cool-down flow, allowing you to reconnect with your breath, integrate what you’ve learned, and leave feeling balanced, confident, and refreshed.
Who This Workshop Is For
- Curious yogis wanting to explore handstands in a supportive environment
-
Students looking to build confidence, strength, and ease upside down
-
Anyone wanting to deepen body awareness, cultivate self-trust, and play with new possibilities
No previous handstand experience required — just an open mind and a willingness to explore.
✨ Come flip your perspective, build strength from the inside out, learn to trust yourself upside down, and end feeling grounded and empowered.
