Postnatal Yoga will help you recover from birth more harmoniously, release the pains you might be experiencing, and get back in touch with your vital energy, your core strength and inner balance. It is a modified, low-intensity yoga practice and offers the most benefits especially during the first three months after childbirth. This type of yoga is designed to help mothers reconnect, recover, regain abdominal strength, body flexibility and tone. It is about getting grounded in yourself again, feeling strong in your body, so that you can feel confident in your new role as a mother. Come and give yourself strength and relax through this new period of your life guiding in your ability to be at ease and reminding you to breathe deeply. Feel free to bring your baby (up until baby starts crawling) to play, while you move your body.

This class incorporates somatic movements into a traditional yoga practice to bring greater ease and increased awareness to the traditional poses. Class typically begins with somatic movements and then continues with a slow vinyasa flow. Modifications are provided throughout the class to allow individuals to choose adaptations appropriate for their bodies. Knowledge of somatics is not necessary, a basic understanding of yoga poses is expected. Props commonly used include blocks, strap, blanket or bath towel, and a firm chair. I invite you to a new yoga experience.
