Mother’s Lounge: Community Gathering
First Tuesday of the month @ 10:30 am
Next gathering: February 4th - Topic: The Yoga of Motherhood
Motherhood is a journey best shared. The Monthly Mother's Lounge is a warm and welcoming space for moms to gather, connect, and support one another in a relaxed, judgment-free environment. Whether navigating pregnancy, adjusting to postpartum life, or parenting a little one, this gathering offers a chance to share experiences, ask questions, and simply be in the company of other moms who get it.
Each month, we’ll explore a different topic relevant to motherhood—ranging from postpartum recovery and infant sleep to mindfulness, self-care, and navigating changing identities. This is not a structured class but a casual space for conversation, community, and connection. Tea, light snacks, and cozy seating will be provided.
Who is this for?
The Mother's Lounge is open to all moms—whether you're expecting, newly postpartum, or parenting young children. Babies are always welcome!
📅 When? Monthly at Austin Yoga Lounge. First Tuesdays at 10:30 am.
Space is limited, so be sure to RSVP!
House Rules
These rules create a safe, respectful, and nurturing space for mothers to connect, share, and support one another without judgment.
Confidentiality: What is shared in the circle stays in the circle. This ensures a safe space for open and honest conversation without fear of judgment or gossip.
Non-Judgment: We come from different experiences and perspectives, and all feelings, choices, and experiences are valid. This is a space where everyone’s journey is respected.
Active Listening: When someone is speaking, we listen attentively and without interruption, holding space for their words, emotions, and experiences.
Speak from the Heart: Share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences honestly and authentically, using "I" statements (e.g., "I feel...") to express your own perspective.
No Comparison: Each mom’s experience is unique. Avoid comparing or offering unsolicited advice unless asked, and instead, offer empathy and understanding.
Support, Not Fixing: This is a space to offer support, not solutions. Sometimes just being heard is enough—let's hold space for each other’s emotions without trying to "fix" them.
Respect for Silence: It's okay to take a pause or simply listen without feeling the need to speak. Silence is just as valuable as words in this space.
Honor Your Needs (and your baby's): If at any point you need to step out, take a break, or check in with yourself or your baby, honor that need without explanation or guilt.
Compassion and Empathy: Approach each other’s experiences with compassion and empathy, recognizing that motherhood is complex, and we all have our own challenges and triumphs.
