Our postpartum classes are designed to help women recover and regain strength after childbirth. We gently strengthen the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, relieve shoulder and neck tension, and promote relaxation. Our classes foster bonding with the newborn, improve mood and energy levels, and provide a supportive community for new mothers.
For vaginal births, you must wait until the bleeding has stopped (usually around 4 weeks). For cesarean births, you must wait at least 6 weeks. Always consult with your care provider before returning to yoga.
We respectfully ask that only postpartum parents attend Postnatal classes.

These classes are designed for the postpartum student and baby. In these classes, students can expect to increase energy levels, strengthen + tone the muscles in the pelvis and core, and work towards relaxation and stress relief. Within this practice, students will be led through poses and sequences that can help to alleviate the discomforts that can come from nursing, holding, and lifting while connecting with other new parents in a safe and nurturing space. Babies of pre-crawling age are welcome.

This 60-minute class is for mothers looking to gain better function and rebuild strength following birth, and your baby is welcome to join you! It focuses on rehabilitating your core and pelvic floor, and the movement style is rooted in functional exercise, Pilates, and barre methods, emphasizing mobility, safe core control, and mindfulness. You will learn how to move with confidence as you adapt to the movement patterns of motherhood. And you'll gain techniques to repair diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunction, if these are conditions you're experiencing.
It is recommended that students wait 6 weeks if recovering from a vaginal delivery and 8 weeks if recovering from a C-section. Please consult with your doctor or midwife before participating in class. Feel free to bring your non-crawling babies with you!
