Toddler Yoga is designed for children and parents to explore yoga through a blend of stretches, poses, songs, and games. This class offers tot-centric movement that encourages and supports the child's rapidly-increasing physical explorations, all through an engaging and energetic format filled with music and fun. Yoga can help your child with self-expression, relaxation, and sleep and can improve the ability to listen and follow directions. For grownups, it’s a fun way to get some gentle stretching while enjoying the child’s new discoveries.

Led by Michelle Goitia, Yoga Instructor ERYT 200, RPYT, Certified Birth Doula CD (DONA).

In this class, we will discuss breastfeeding, safe formula preparation, and newborn care to get you off to a great start in the first few weeks after bringing the baby home. We will cover newborn feeding behaviors, how to know if the baby is latched well, how to know if the baby is getting enough, normal breastfeeding complications, and when to call for help.
We will also discuss diapering and umbilical cord care, bathing, body language, and safe sleep practices and how it pertains to both breastfed and bottle-fed babies. We will touch on healthy sleep habits, swaddling, and other techniques to help you soothe your baby.
***This class is designed to be taken during your pregnancy or before the baby arrives.***
Led by Jade Newkirk, CYT-200, CLC, CHD

Having more realistic expectations BEFORE parenthood can protect you from additional stress and wellness concerns. You might find all your energy dedicated to managing your pregnancy, but what about after the baby arrives? This workshop will address the most challenging tasks of new parenthood and how to create more realistic expectations for your new expanded family. You will walk away with strategies to improve the strength of your partnership, identify new roles for you and your partner when the baby arrives, navigate feeding and sleep care, and create the entrance into parenthood that fits your family’s style.
This workshop is suitable for couples or solo partners.
