Mom & Baby
Join Jennifer for this fun and sometimes unpredictable class, as babies are not the most predictable creatures. Come with an open mind and know that everything is welcome in the yoga space. Jenn strives to create a safe and welcoming space for all new parents.
After having 3 babies in 5 years Jenn understands how difficult it can be to feel normal after giving birth. There is a lot of information available but it is hard to know where to start on the road to rebuilding, strengthening, and unwinding layers of tension. Jenn can help you on the path back to feeling and looking your best. With lots of experience both with her own post natal struggles, and from working with hundreds of other new moms, Jenn will gently guide you back to yourself. You will learn new ways to move to help you regain a functional pelvic floor, undo tension, stand taller and feel stronger. There will also be lots of opportunities to connect with your little one through movement and touch. Babies up to crawling are welcome.
Prenatal

You will gain the tools you need to understand the changes in your body, and through movement, breath, and stillness you can begin to incorporate them into your body and your life.
