YogaPlay

YogaPlay is a class for moms! All children 4 years and under children are welcome (no need for a babysitter!). Yoga is taught to the moms, while children are free to play (young babies can be worn in a carrier) - focusing on pelvic floor integrity, core strength, relaxing those overworked breastfeeding muscles and life long breast health, as well as nurturing the feminine mind and spirit.

Yoga with the kids? Yes, its not the candlelight & incense experience that you may imagine yoga to be (if that is what you need, checkout the Goddess Yoga classes). There are quiet moments, but these classes can also be quite chaotic. However, as a mother of young children, cultivating the ability to relax and nurture yourself amidst the pandemonium of childhood is the most valuable gift you can give to yourself and your children.

Something magical starts to happen as the moms stretch, breathe and relax. First the older of the children will start to join in, and slowly the younger ones start to imitate. Because the children are given little instruction, it is an excellent opportunity to develop their motor planning skills as they figure out how to do the postures that they are called to on there own. Given that the sensorimotor systems are sensitive in the first years of life, this approach also creates a real positive environment where the child can celebrate their achievements without the pressure to do something with their bodies that just doesn't feel right in the moment - a rare opportunity for a child in today's world.
