pre-natal & post-natal yoga
**Please note** Pre-registration is required for this class
Our vision is to support and assist women through pre-natal yoga as they go through this extraordinary adventure in their lives. The goal of pre-natal yoga is to help women prepare for active, empowered and natural birth as well as to nurture and love their changing bodies.
We will embrace yoga poses that will create strength and flexibility of the spine, release the lower back pressure, open the hips, strengthen the pelvic floor, build strength in the legs, bring inner balance, centering and harmony. We will also learn pranayama-breathing techniques that are perfectly suited to labour and birth.
Each class ends with guided relaxation that will leave the mother and the baby feel relaxed, empowered and energized.
Pre-natal yoga will help with common aches and pains that may be experienced during pregnancy. It will help to relieve backache, reduce water retention and improve circulation, ease digestive discomforts, improve sleep and increase vitality.
The workshop is suitable to women in all stages of pregnancy and all levels of yoga experience. It is advised that all women contacted their health practitioners before starting the workshop. I'll modify the poses for all 3 trimesters. In 1st trimester we'll explore the poses with little or no props, depending on a mother, 2nd trimester will use straps and blankets, and 3rd trimester lots of blankets and other supports.

Kids Yoga:
Children experience many of the same physical benefits adults do from practicing yoga. Yoga strengthens them and helps them become more flexible and coordinated.
Children who practice yoga learn early on to tune into their bodies. Self esteem is bolstered as the children gain control over their bodies and minds, enhances children's imagination and empathy.
Children are asked to strike poses from nature. They might assume the pose of a snake, or a tree, or a dog. Then they are asked to imagine what it would be like to be those life forms. In this way, children learn early on to connect with all the life on the planet and realize that similarities far outweigh differences.

Zumba
The infectious rhythms make a party out of exercise. The fitness class looks like any other..until...The Latin lyrics and the upbeat tempo start bringing smiles to the classmates. Their hips start to shimmy. Their feet move in rhythm. If their arms moving up and down held drinks, it would feel like a nightclub. But this is the regular evening class of Zumba, a fitness program designed to a soundtrack of Latin dance music. Zumba's motto: "Ditch the workout. Join the party."
