Baby + Me Yoga
Due to COVID-19, we have temporarily closed our studios and will be rescheduling our programs. If you are currently registered, we will be in touch with your new starting dates. Sorry and thank you for your understanding.
Reconnect with body, mind, and spirit post-birth, nurture a healthy bond with your baby, and connect with a community of new parents. Infant massage, yoga asanas that include your baby and deep relaxation to help you strengthen, balance, and restore. Dads and babies welcome, too!
The 6 weeks series is very informal and lively, and there is absolutely no pressure or expectation for your baby to “behave” in a certain way! Part of the yoga practice is truly welcoming the babies just as they are, learning to cultivate awareness and breathing instead of tension and worry.
Using interactive, slow-moving postures the class is ideal for parents and babies 4 weeks to crawling. Class also includes infant massage and various exercises that assist the development of your child’s motor skills. Baby + Me yoga will help carry you smoothly through the busy early months of caring for a new baby.

Why I Practice I practice to create space both inside of my physical body as well as my mind. I practice to bring more awareness, connection and clarity into every thing that comes to me. I practice because no matter what state I'm in when I arrive on my mat, I always leave feeling so good, so alive.
Why I Teach I teach out of gratitude and respect for what I have learned so far, in hopes that I can inspire others to discover their own innate possibilities.
Certifications I did my 200 hr teacher training with Don & Amba Stapleton, Yoga for Childbirth with Dorothy Guerra, as well as some amazing workshops and courses with Amy Ippoliti, Natasha Rizopoulos, Maria Garre, Seane Corn, Michelle Cormack, Paul Grilley and Michael Stone.
Why Yoga Yoga came naturally and instinctively early on in my teenage years because of its grounding nature and allowance for reflection.
How I Have Fun Off the Mat I love playing and snuggling with my son. I love having deep conversations with friends, dancing and singing and laughing.
