Regular Class Offerings:
Prenatal Yoga Baltimore
Connect with a fabulous community of moms and moms-to-be for community, support, movement and meditation. Prenatal Yoga in Baltimore focuses on enhancing comfort, building strength & endurance, relieving stress, easing aching hips and back, and building skills for labor, birth and parenting. More importantly, each session includes a check-in for community building and mutual support. Appropriate for all stages of pregnancy.
Gentle Yoga
A great practice for those getting back into yoga after having a baby, recovering from injury or starting from scratch, gentle yoga focuses on building strength and flexibility at a slower pace. Starting with our signature check-in, practitioners will engage with other community members by sharing their recent struggles or joys. This class replaces the old "Postpartum Yoga" class, and so will carry on much of the same focus on core and pelvic floor strength. Props will be used to support your body and help promote relaxation and ease with longer held poses. Appropriate for all (even during pregnancy, postpartum, for partners, and support systems).
All Levels Yoga
A faster paced class designed to build strength and flexibility through a focus on breath, core strength and alignment. This class is best for those with yoga experience looking to take their practice to the next level. Safe modifications and options for beginner and advanced students will be offered as needed. This class is for everyone (Moms, Dads, caregivers, friends, grandparents, etc), though not recommended during pregnancy or for Mamas before at least 4 months postpartum.
Baby + Me Yoga
Practicing yoga WITH your baby is a wonderful way to heal from pregnancy, bond mindfully and build and essential mom-tribe. This class is relaxed and informal, including activities with and without your baby (in case they are sleeping!) with plenty of time & space allowed for feeding, diapering and meeting baby’s needs. Appropriate for babies 3-weeks-old to crawling.
Toddler + Me Yoga
Bring your toddler for an hour long all-levels vinyasa class geared towards you! Let your babes romp around and play while you get the time for your practice. This class is welcome to mamas, papas, caregivers and the like. Toys, games and snacks are invited to keep your littles entertained while you flow. Appropriate for crawlers to age 4.
Special Classes:
Yoga & Massage
A harmonious blend of gentle yoga and massage therapy, this monthly class is designed to address the physical discomforts and tension patterns that most often accompany caring for infants and young children. Special attention is devoted to the concerns of the early postpartum period, but the class is suitable for all current and soon-to-be caregivers. $30 per class.
Restore Your Core
Restore Your Core (RYC®) is a comprehensive whole-body method to retrain your core and pelvic floor muscles to be functional, reflexive, responsive and supportive to your body. It helps you learn to move better, exercise better, uncover movement compensation patterns, and create new patterns of strength, mobility, length and support. If you struggle with diastasis recti, a weak core, back pain, pelvic organ prolapse or are just looking to build a mindful movement practice with an integrated core – this 3-week series is for you. Led by Certified RYC® Teacher, Emily Lancaster. $85.
Creative Movement for Toddlers
Jump! Roll! Spin! Slide! Bring your toddler and get on the dance floor! This weekly creative movement class will introduce your toddler to all of the many ways our bodies move in a fun and supportive environment. You and your little will explore levels, tempo, axial and locomotor movements, yogic elements, and more. This class is developmentally appropriate for 1 to 3-year-olds. $5 per child.
