Philosophy
My classes focus on health, not weight loss. While weight loss is often a byproduct of a movement practice, every body is welcome in my classes.
In Yoga for Mamas and Pre/Post-natal classes, students are encouraged to share their thoughts and feelings in a casual way. While my approach is science-informed, no parenting practices will be shamed.
What we might do in my classes:
Asana / Physical Poses
Pranayama / Breathwork
Pelvic Floor Work / Rehab
Gentle post-pregnancy abdominal rehabilitation
Self-massage
Meditation
Sharing thoughts and feelings in a casual way
maybe a little bit of singing or humming (for vagus nerve stimulation or to soothe babies)
Parenthood is hard work!
Even though I am an introverted person, I firmly believe that new parents - especially birth-givers - need to commune with each other during this adjustment period. As worth it as babies are, they require so much hard work, dedication and presence. It’s easy to feel isolated and alone during this transition. Many parents find it helpful to share their experiences in a tenderly-held safe space.
