Mom & Baby

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.

Yin Yoga Level 1 Teacher Training

This Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Alan Mileham, focuses on developing a strong foundation with emphasis on the physical side of Yin Yoga. In my experience a strong foundation is the key to any Yoga Practice. We spend a lot of time on the three main benefits of Yin Yoga, the physical, mental/mindfulness and energetic. I emphasize the difference between Yang and Yin as it relates to the tissues of the body. Different types of tissue in our body require different modalities of exercise/yoga.
Yin Yoga Level 2 Teacher Training
Feb 21 | Fri 5:30PM | Sat & Sun 9AM | $275 *EARLY BIRD $250 ENDS Jan 6TH+gst
Anatomy is the key. Without an understanding of muscles & joints, true confidence in teaching Yin Yoga is elusive. In this training we will focus on the 14 joint segments, discussing which joints are involved in our Yin postures as as well as our range of motion which helps us understand why each person practices poses differently.
