Appropriate for babies 4 weeks until crawling.
Your new baby wants a yoga class of his or her own! This is special class event focuses mainly on your baby, a time to move those little muscles and, at the same time, bond with Mom or Dad! This class is designed for new parents to share the beauty of yoga with the latest addition to the family. In fact, this can be a wonderful opportunity for new fathers to gain more of a sense of connection with their child. Each class includes yoga postures and breath work, with baby-focused segments on the floor and standing -- yoga moves for babies' developing bodies and minds. We also give the babies a couple of breaks so that Mom or Dad gets to do some stretching and strengthening, too. Some gentle infant massage techniques also included. Direct benefits to the baby yogi include development of muscle tone, body awareness, and better digestion and sleep. Please bring along a cozy blanket for your baby as well as his or her favorite toy. Cost: $15, collected on day of event.

Note to New Moms
*For vaginal births, please wait 4 weeks until your first yoga class; for cesarean births, please allow yourself six weeks before coming to your first class. Consult your doctor for approval. Our Hatha I classes offer gentle postures and breath work, which will allow the body to recuperate and renew itself without risking injury, which often results when new moms try to do too much too soon. Make the time to continue nurturing yourself!
Weekly classses are ongoing, no pre-registration required.
Just come about 10 minutes before class is scheduled to begin.
