Have you had a baby in the past 2 years?

Do you wish you could just feel “like your old self” again? Have you been meaning to get back into an exercise routine but are unsure of whether your body can handle it?

Are you desperate for some “you” time?

The postpartum period can be a joyous time but it is also a time when your whole body, spirit, and mind are put under an enormous amount of stress. Childbirth, breast feeding,and caring for a little one can leave the body worn out! Feelings of anxiety, frustration, and excitement can make this sensitive period especially difficult. It is no wonder that women in the postpartum period often do not feel comfortable attending yoga classes with others who are not in the same boat physically or mentally!

This workshop is specifically designed for women who have given birth or adopted a young child in the past year and are interested in doing something positive for themselves.

Led by local perinatal psychologist and mom to a toddler, Lauren Brown, PsyD, with Yoga Alliance certifed yoga teacher and mom to two teenagers, Sidonie Blackett, this two-hour workshop will include both a physical and emotional component via group discussion, asana practice, and meditation. Postnatal Yoga is a wonderful way to center and ground, as well as to release muscle tension.

This workshop is appropriate for women who have given birth vaginally and are 6 weeks postpartum or for women who have given birth by Cesareaand are 8 weeks postpartum. You may attend earlier with your doctor’s permission. Women up to two years postpartum are welcome. We hope you can join us.

Prenatal and Postnatal Flow with Jillian McDonough and Lorraine Shedoudi


This workshop is for anyone who loves the vinyasa practice and would like to continue with this style when they are pregnant and after baby. Being able to find the familiarity of your mat and your flow while pregnant is extremely comforting! If you are or will be pregnant and want to continue your practice but it a safe way join Jillian and Lorraine for this workshop.
 
From Jillian "After having three very different pregnancies in four short years I had to learn how to modify my practice to fit my new ever-changing pregnant and postpartum body. I loved the flow I knew and wanted to continue with it instead of a more traditional style parental class but I wanted to do it safely."
 
From Lorraine, "I felt strong during my pregnancies and it felt important for me to continue with a powerful and empowering practice. I also wanted to make sure my practice was safe while remaining strong. I had to take the time to learn about modifications in order to continue my practice and I am excited to continually share all that I have learned. Yoga is the best tool I have had during pregnancy, labor and motherhood.
