Postnatal Yoga addresses the aches, pains and energy challenges of the postpartum parent (parents of all genders are welcome). Each class starts with a check-in so that parents can give each other support and feedback and the teacher can create a class that addresses the current needs and physical level of the group. We will focus on rebuilding core and pelvic floor, addressing diastasis, building all over body strength, and reducing neck, shoulder, and wrist tension. Expect to be challenged and nurtured.

Bring your baby or come alone. Partners are welcome. You are also welcome to bring a friend or family member. Each practicing adult is charged for class.

Postnatal Yoga FAQ

When do I come to Postnatal Yoga?
You can attend postnatal yoga as early as you and your provider deem appropriate. Some parents start yoga the week after birth, others come three months postpartum! We know how hard it can be to get out the door with a little one(s). We also know that you’ll leave postnatal yoga feeling revitalized and supported by the teacher and community of parents. You can continue to attend postnatal until your child is too mobile to be supervised. Some parents are able to come until their child’s first birthday.

What do I wear/bring?
Wear clothing that is comfortable for you to both move and nurse/feed in. You are welcome to nurse, feed and change your babies in the class.
