This 45 minute class is for ages birth to 1 year (non walking) to come with Mom ;-) try something new for you and your little one. This is a series and will be charged as one 5 class committment at the beginning of the series. Mommy and Me classes are a way to expose young ones to the yoga environment, while fostering quality time with mom. In addition, moms get to release stress and anxiety, stretch and tone the entire body, gain confidence, and re-charge their batteries.

Come to class with an open heart, a blanket, some toys for your wee-one, your yoga mat and water. This class provides a comfortable, supportive environment where moms can meet other moms and create special memories with their babies. Prior yoga experience is not needed to join this class. Unlike the kinds of yoga you might have practiced on your own (or simply heard about), doing yoga with your baby is quite different. Mommy-and-me yoga has some pros just for parents.

It can help you:

• Ease new parent jitters. Get started by attending a class taught by a trained instructor — it's a safe and structured way to engage with your baby.

• Get a little TLC for your body. Any kind of yoga gives you an opportunity to nourish and care for your body through focused stretches and mindful breathing exercises, which is especially important after carrying a baby for nine months and then giving birth!

• Stretch and strengthen the muscles that need the most TLC. The gentle movements and mindful breathing integral to yoga boost abdominal strength and activate the pelvic floor muscles, which aids recovery from giving birth. Classic poses — from upward-facing dog to cobra — open up the shoulders and chest you rely on for all of the rocking and cradling you do in the first few months with your baby.

• Meet new moms. After baby is born, you might not have as much time for socializing. But it's reassuring to talk to other mothers who are going through the same experiences as you are. Yoga class provides a safe and nurturing environment for new parents to discuss worries and concerns. You're not alone! Bond with your new baby. Yoga is a healthy, playful activity you can enjoy together.
