Live Postnatal Yoga for the Core Series

Join me for an 8 week Live Postnatal Yoga for the Core Series. We'll begin with simple practices connecting the breath to core and pelvic floor engagement and will slowly build over the course of 8 weeks. This is a class about gaining strength but also recognizing the big changes that happened during pregnancy and the time it takes to rebuild strength postpartum. This is a class that embraces the postpartum body and will specifically not involve language around weight loss or "getting your body back". I recognize how harmful language like this is for new parents. These classes will:
  • Offer specific instructions for working with diastasic rectify (abdominal separation)
  • Focus on the integration of abdominal strength along with pelvic floor strength
  • Offer variations that meets students where they are in their postpartum recovery, especially as. more challenging poses are added
  • End with a few stretches to help address the aches and pains associated with the postpartum period
  • Classes will be offered live with Q&A time before and after each class
  • Recordings will also be provided to re-watch or for those who aren't ready to yet begin their postpartum core journey

​All classes will take place via Zoom and a meeting invite will be sent out each week about 30 minutes prior to class (which will also serve as a helpful calendar reminder).

Cost
  • $50 (includes live classes, recordings of classes and a PDF of yoga sequences specific to rebuilding the core)

I am a mama myself, and personally very familiar with just how much a yoga practice can help strengthen the body postpartum and how it can be used as a tool to connect with the body, calm the mind and help me to be strong and healthy as a parent to my children.

I offer classes that are both challenging and relaxing, and mindful of the special needs of the postpartum body. Classes are safe and provide a community to connect with others and explore the changing body. The main focus of each class will be on safely rebuilding the core. Classes will also address specific issues impacting the body postpartum, including neck and shoulder tension and low back pain.
