Mama and Baby Postnatal Yoga 0-12 months old

This Theraputic approach to recovery as mama and baby have social and special boding time with eachother.  Baby is entertained, mommy gently eases back into shape with amazing yoga and pilates moves to encourage tightening and toning as well as recovery for all her muscles used during chidlbirth, especially abdominals.  Mommy will learn to work with her baby through the practice of Yoga, musical and aromatherapy, including techniques to help calm, massage and bond.  Please bring toys, a blanket, a pillow, or anything else comforting to you and your baby.

 The movements of Bellydance make an excellent Prenatal exercise regimen that strengthens the muscles used during childbirth.  The toned abdominal muscles and natural hip tucks, which are similar to the "pelvic rocking", taught during prenatal classes, teach the expectant mother how to move her pelvis.  For women who desire natural childbirth, this form of exercise through dance, with its emphasis on muscle control, not only facilitates natural childbirth, but also makes an excellent postnatal exercise that helps encourage abdominal tone.

High Risk Pregnancies, over thirty-five, or after a C-section, please consult your physician.

Breast Feeding is encouraged and Supported.
