Becoming a new mother can be exciting and daunting at the same time. Join us for a class designed to prepare your body for labour as well as to help you to understand, respect and honour your changing body and emotions during each trimester. A short discussion is held at the beginning of each class so we can share with other students our experiences. Handouts are included for at home exercises.

Classes that promote functional movement and stability, postural facilitation and post-rehabilitative exercise. Classes are challenging and rejuvenating and offer an overall exercise experience that is stimulating for both the body and the mind. An emphasis on abdominal and back muscles leads to postural realignment, core stability and freer movement. You will feel your body start to change shape, muscles lengthen and posture improve. Pilates targets abdominal and back muscles for strength, power and flexibility. As the class progresses you will see and feel your “core” not only as your midriff, but as part of the integrated system of your entire body.

Fun classes using postures, breathing, music and visualization. Classes may include stories, adventures, crafts and song. Children will be encouraged to work at their own pace and to bring yoga off the mat and into their home. Children love yoga.

Mom & baby yoga classes provide an opportunity for you to regain strength and flexibility, to bond with your baby in a peaceful environment and to make friends with other moms. The focus of the class is on movements and breathing specifically tailored for new moms. The babies benefit from the bonding time with mom, baby massages and the stimulating environment of new baby friends!
Special attention is placed on developing core strength and stability – involving a particular emphasis on strengthening the back, abdomen and pelvic floor, as well as relieving tension in areas such as the neck, shoulders and back.
Previous yoga experience is not necessary to fully benefit from the classes, and women who have practiced yoga before will find these classes are a great way to transition back to their pre-pregnancy practice.

Sore and weak backs are often caused by weak core muscles and poor posture, this class will help you lesson back problems and develop muscles that support the back. Mixed in with traditional yoga posture is a little Resistance Yoga created by a local teacher.
