Yoga for Postnatal Recovery
Yoga for Postnatal Recovery is thoughtfully designed to support your recovery after childbirth, helping you reconnect with your body, regain strength, and find balance as you embrace life as a new mom. This gentle, low-intensity practice includes stretches, breathing exercises, and strengthening movements with a focus on pelvic floor recovery, core stability, and overall wellbeing.
A special aspect of this class is the opportunity to bring your baby (up until they start crawling) to share in the experience. Whether your little one joins you on the mat for gentle movements or relaxes in their car seat, this class fosters bonding while allowing you to prioritize your recovery and self-care.

- Stretching: Gentle stretches to release tension in areas impacted by pregnancy and caregiving
- Breathing: Techniques to help you relax, reduce stress, and reconnect with your body
- Strengthening: Focused exercises to rebuild pelvic floor and core strength
- Connection: Exercises and moments designed to strengthen your bond with your baby
- Relaxation: Guided relaxation to help restore energy and support emotional wellbeing
Benefits:

- Encourages mindfulness and strengthens your bond with your baby
This class is about nurturing yourself as you heal and grow in your role as a mother while creating a space to connect with your baby in a calming, supportive environment. Join us to feel stronger, more balanced, and more confident in your body while enjoying quality time with your little one.
