Pelvic Floor Workshop: Demystifying “Down There”

With Leslie Howard

A healthy pelvic floor is more than doing Kegels. Proper work of strengthening and stabilizing the pelvic floor helps to create the correct foundation of each movement in the body. It is a basic tool to avoid loss of energy from this important area. A strong pelvic floor helps keep the pelvic and abdominal organs healthy as we age. Come find out specific details of what mula bandha is and is not. 

Sorry, gentleman – this is a women’s only workshop!

Cost: $90 before 10/8. Regularly $100 (plus 10% off for members)Register Here! more »

Back Care Yoga for Moms

Cultivating Ease and Strength in our Bodies with Gabbriella Yates

As moms we spend most of our hours nurturing new life with our bodies. Nursing, holding, supporting or simply looking down at our baby/child can leave us with an achy neck, tight shoulders and a painful lower back.  Join Gabriella Yates on Saturday, April 6th from 1:30-2:30, to learn yoga postures to reduce tightness and pain and increase a sense of ease and movement in your neck, shoulders and back.

…excited to come back…

After participating in prenatal yoga with Gabby for several months during my pregnancy, it was wonderful to come back to the Yoga Garden after my daughter’s birth to take part in Mom and Baby yoga. The first few weeks postpartum were tough and isolating; I was so excited to come back to the yoga studio after six weeks away and reconnect with other women who had been my peers during my pregnancy. Gabby is a gifted teacher who creates a warm and welcoming space for new mothers in her yoga class. She supported me and my classmates not only in recovering  physically from birth but also in dealing with all the challenges new mothers face, from breastfeeding to sleep deprivation and beyond. While I worked on opening my overworked shoulders and neck, my newborn daughter had the opportunity to meet other babies and experience the world outside our home for the first time. I’m so pleased that I had the opportunity to ease into motherhood with Gabby as my guide. - Melissa J. via email
