TWEEN GIRLS YOGA + CRAFTS 4-WEEK series
saturdays 10/29-11/19 10:30am-12:00pm
Growing up is hard! We all remember middle school. Let’s help our kids cultivate inner and outer strength, self-confidence, and compassion. We’ll build community and friendship as we play with partner poses, group poses, and have an overall good time. Each class we will create a token and reminder of what they learned that week to keep practicing yoga off the mat. These classes create a way for tweens to feel more at home inside of their own bodies and emotions.
Recommended age: 9-12
groups
All Mind Body Baby groups will be peer-led by a Mind Body Baby Mama & Educator. Everything is fair game during group time. It is a safe, judgment-free space to get real and raw. We will laugh, we will cry, we will get deep, and we will troubleshoot real-life struggles. You are not alone in your feelings and questions. Let’s figure it out together!
4th trimester survival group
This group meets weekly and is ideal for parents of babies 0 - 12 weeks old. Being a new mama can feel isolating. Come meet new parents at the same stage of life. Babies are welcome to attend the group (with their parent). Some topics you can expect to touch on include: self-care, infant feeding, will my baby ever sleep?, postpartum mood disorders, how to manage leaking boobs, parenting philosophies, new identities, and postpartum rehab.
Meets Fridays at 11:45 AM. REGISTER NOW >
Mamas-in-the Making Group
This group will meet monthly and is ideal for people actively trying to conceive or adopt. 1 in 8 people will have trouble becoming or staying pregnant. Life can be hard when you don’t have friends who understand the feelings surrounding the child-shaped hole in your heart. Come listen, share, and maybe even laugh while being surrounded with others at the same stage of life.
Meets 1xmonth on Tuesdays at 6 PM.
Infant Feeding Support Group
This group meets monthly and is meant to help parents as they navigate nourishing their infant–be it breast or chestfeeding, exclusively pumping, bottle feeding with formula, weaning, starting solids, or anything in between.
One day your child is safely protected inside of you and the next you’re the sole provider of food for a helpless human. You may have hesitation, concerns, fears, and general questions. You are not alone.
Meets 1xmonth on Tuesdays at 6 PM.
Mama Needs a Minute Meet-Up
This group will meet monthly and is ideal for parents of littles ages 1 year - 4 years. Childcare is available! Want to talk to a real life adult human for more than 3 minutes without being interrupted? Come make friends, share stories, resources, and troubleshoot those lovely (insert forced smile) toddler transition years.
Meets 1xmonth on Tuesdays at 6 PM.
