Postpartum Yoga with Christine Iarrobino
Postpartum Yoga focuses on gentle, therapeutic movement designed to promote healthy formative development in baby, as well as movement, breathing, and relaxation exercises that encourage both strength and peace in the body and mind of the mother. This decreases stress, anxiety, and promotes energy, strength, and confidence in the postpartum body and mind. Join this calm, safe space where feeding, diapering, and open minded discussion are normal.
Safe for all levels, including new students and those who have experienced c-section. Strengthens bonding, integration, and healthy development in both mom and baby, as well as learning tools to use every day at home.
Mom and baby will both benefit as you learn to move, breathe, and play together. No yoga experience required. This class goes with the flow of mom and baby. Baby's needs come first, and breaks for feeding, diapering and sleeping are welcome during class.
