PARENT & BABY YOGA: taught by Suzette

Parent & Baby yoga is a lighthearted, rejuvenating class for Moms, Dads, Caregivers and their babies. Parents have the opportunity to bond with their child while immersed in the practice of yoga. For Mom’s who carried their child in pregnancy, we'll focus on strengthening and toning your pelvic and abdominal muscles and relieve neck and shoulder tension associated with feeding. For all parents, we’ll integrate poses to do with your baby in class and at home. In addition, you'll connect with other parents of infants to build your community while doing yoga with your baby. Each class is unique, integrating asana (movement,) breath work, and meditation to restore you for a restful day. This class is open to parents with all levels of yoga experience and their babies up to toddling! Parents are invited first to meet the needs of the child, then to participate in class - breastfeeding is welcome! NO PRE-REGISTRATION is required and SPOUSE OR PARTNER may attend at the additional cost of $10.

Schedule:

Thursdays from 11:30 - 12:30

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

When can I start after delivery?  The general rule of thumb is 6 weeks postpartum, or when your body feels ready to move (for both cesarean and vaginal birth.) Some people are ready sooner and some people need to wait longer, depending on your own recovery. We ask that you listen to your body both in and out of class to determine your readiness.

How old does my baby need to be?  We have had 2 week old babies in class, and babies just learning to walk. It comes down to what would give you the most fulfillment in participating. All are welcome and we guide you in modifying your practice to support your specific situation.

What if I need to breastfeed or change my baby? You are invited and welcome to tend to the needs of your baby first. You can breastfeed right there on the mat or step back to the changing room for some privacy if you like. There is a small changing room in the studio to change your baby’s diaper, we only ask that you take the diaper with you as we do not have regular janitorial services.
