Mommy and Babies - Classes starting Feb. 5th

Many of you know that I teach both adult and children yoga classes. I've been approached by some Hannah Moms asking if I would teach a Baby and Mommy yoga class this year. I wanted to invite you to join me for this new 6-week class in the Family Life Center, Room 305.


Baby and Mommy Yoga Room 305 FLC
Our Class will last 6 Weeks: February 5 - March 12 (Thursdays at 11:00 p.m. - 11:50)

Stretch, bond, and breathe with your baby in this special yoga series designed for new mothers and infants (8 weeks to almost walking). Meet other moms and babies while you strengthen and support post-partum and sleep deprived bodies with specifically chosen asanas and sequences.

Every class will devote time for gentle hands-on yoga and massage for babies; aiding in their digestion and promoting the sleep-wake cycle. Bonding postures and playful songs are also explored. Dress comfortably and bring a receiving blanket for your child.
Caregivers and Dads welcome, too!

$90.00 (Pre-Registration only) 6-week session (Scholarships available)
$20.00 (Walk-in)

Dates: February 5, February 12, February 19, February 26, March 5, March 12.

What I notice about kids in my classes: Relaxation

I teach kids yoga. Sometimes, they are on and paying attention. Sometimes they are bouncing off the walls. But, I'm beginning to notice that when I say, "Time to breathe," they smile and sit up. It's a game to them. Darth Vader Breath. Then, Bunny Breath. Then, Snake Breath. Then Whisper Breath. I've never tried to teach a whole class just on breathing, but I bet they would hang with me.

Is it because they feel their bodies relaxing? Is it because everybody can do it and nobody can do it better or faster than the next one? I don't have that answer, but I do notice they get in gear when they breathe. They slow down, concentrate, focus, and are ready to listen. Amazing! So, the next time your kids aren't listening, or are having trouble getting their homework done, take a few minutes and teach them to breathe like a snake, or Darth Vader, or fill up the belly like a great big balloon and then slowly let it go, exhaling till every last breath is gone. Before you know it, they will be calm, focused, and reenergized.
