A Yoga Class for Every Body & Every Stage!
Whether you're still trying to conceive, a first time mother, or you already have a couple little ones we have a class for you. Fertile body, Prenatal and Postnatal yoga all focus on mom's changing body and how best to support and strengthen both mentally and physically. If you want to bring your little one along, we have classes devoted to moms who want to hop on their mat in the company of their children from babies all the way through walking toddlers!
Mommy Sangha (Building Community)
Mommy Sangha is our most unique offering as it is a new moms group with discussion and meditation which is also available online if you're not able to make it to the studio.
Fertile Body Yoga
Fertile Body yoga is a gentle body-led slow flow yoga practice with a restorative component. The breath is linked to slow movement to create mindfulness, which helps to relax the mind and bring awareness to the whole body. Restorative poses trigger our relaxation response. Together these practices can counteract the effects of prolonged stress, which often have a negative impact on fertility. Having the most fertile and receptive body possible, thus giving women a sense of control of their own fertility, is our goal.

Prenatal Yoga
You're Pregnant! This class is designed to help women find comfort during pregnancy, connect with their community, and prepare for labor and birth. Physical postures (asanas), flowing sequences (vinyasas), meditation and breath-work (pranayama) help women relax and adjust to the physical, emotional and mental demands of pregnancy. Yogic philosophy and increased awareness can be invaluable tools during the birth process as well as when attending to a new child and a mother's own special needs during this challenging time.
Baby & Me Yoga
This class is a gentle yoga class designed to help new Moms and Dads regain muscle tone, abdominal strength, and flexibility, which cultivating a peaceful, loving connection with the baby, and themselves. Postures stretch and strengthen tight muscles, while breath work, and relaxation exercises help students feel rejuvenated, and refreshed. Parents have a chance to interact with the baby during yoga practice, learning potential exercises to do at home. Please bring a receiving blanket for the baby to lie on, and any toys your baby enjoys. Due to the unpredictability of a baby's schedule, you may arrive up to 20 minutes late and still take class.
Mobile Babies Yoga
Looking for something to do with your now mobile baby? Mobile Babies yoga is a class where Mom's can expect to get some mindfulness, deep stretching, gentle movement and build strength in their bodies, while their babies have the opportunity to explore an open, safe space with age appropriate toys and have social time to connect with other babies (and of course be introduced to YOGA!). This class is built around mom's needs (think strengthening the core and stretching) while children are entertained by activities such as books, music and bubbles! It's also a great way to connect with other Moms in the community. Feel free to feed and change your baby or nap if necessary. Appropriate for Crawlers up to 3 years.

I have taken both Bec's prenatal yoga classes and her Hypnobirthing
Bec is an amazing yoga instructor who really understands what is going in the body and minds of pregnant women. I feel very comfortable knowing that I am being guided by someone who really has amazing knowledge and insight into women's health. Bec's was also a fantastic instructor for hypnobirthing. It is very clear that she has taught the class many times and really believes in the Hypnobirthing methods. Since she has been a doula she has first-hand knowledge of the birthing stages and how to guide women to having the experience they want. I learned so much in these hypnobirthing sessions and feel very well prepared now for the birth of my baby. I highly recommend Bec.
