Postpartum can be an amazing time, getting to know your baby and your new role as a mother or parent. It can also be a hugely challenging time with lack of sleep, changing hormones, a healing body, a new identity and the sometimes isolated feeling that can come with being at home with a new baby. The intention of this class is to be a space where new moms/birthing people can move their bodies, connect to themselves and to others in the community. Research has shown that both movement and connection to others can help with depression.
The first 45 minutes of class will be dedicated to yoga poses focusing on both stretching and strengthening areas of our body that tend to be most affected in the time post birth. Breathing exercises will also be taught that can help with anxiety. The last 30 minutes of class will be a time to socialize with other new moms. Tea will be provided. All levels of experience welcome. Babies 6 weeks to pre-crawling.
