Fitness Groups and Classes For Families

Working out and making new mom friends is a win on so many levels and the perfect way for you to stay healthy and active with your little one in tow. From fun mommy and me classes to yoga studios just for families, you and your little can get moving and make some new friends along the way.
Yoga Focus offers a combined class for prenatal women and postpartum moms and babies. Postures for the postpartum women are taught with a focus on strengthening and realigning the body after childbirth. Specific areas such as the pelvic floor, abdominals, neck, shoulder, and back are targeted by the postures. Some of the benefits women experience in the class include regaining strength, flexibility, and energy, as well as finding balance and restoration. This class also provides a space for mothers to connect with one another. It is not a vigorous or traditional yoga class.
Yoga is a life long practice that will stay with your child as they grow. Born Yoga classes are designed to encourage self-discovery by building your child’s self-esteem and confidence, enhancing flexibility, and improving balance and coordination. Through mindful breathing techniques, they will learn how to relax and self-regulate their bodies. These skills are achieved through developmentally appropriate yoga games, creative poses and simple to challenging yoga flows.
