Blooming Mums MommYOGA

***No CLASS ON WEDNESDAY JULY 4*** Blooming Mums MommYOGA classes are Yoga classes for mommies & their littles. Classes are inherently chaotic & mimic the bustling active lives of the women who attend them. This isn't a place to escape mama-dom, it's a place to help us all stay. So we can smile & say... Nah'mstay a Mommy. This series is designed as 4 weekly class to be attended in succession. These classes are intended for anyone who identifies as a mother and their baby from 6 weeks to crawling. (New walkers are welcome, however I believe "runners" would benefit more from a different class format and content tailored to their amazing abilities.) Yoga mats are provided. Please bring a blanket and a toy for baby. It is suggested that both parent and baby refrain from large and/or heavy meals at least 30 min before class. Participants are encouraged to arrive early. I will be present at 1:30 to set intentions for the class, hold space and offer time for transition. Registration is VERY limited. Please register for EACH class you plan to attend. Although the series is progressive, due to the limited space available, classes are registered indivudually. A "ticket" is the registration. The classes are free. Donations are encouraged. Please see the details on the "ticket" for more information. If you register for a class you can no longer attend, please request a refund so another person may attend. Week 1 After we arrive in the space we will get comfortable with doing yoga with our littles. We will focus on seated asanas (postures) and discuss how yoga is often a part of our lives already in surprising ways and how seated asanas may be incorporated into our daily lives. We will also be joined by Tummy Time instructor Kari Cantrell, of Bloomington Birth and Bodyworks for a short discussion on moving infants in space and proper posture while caring for our littles. Week 2 After arriving we will review seated asanas and practice supine (belly) asanas. We wil continue our discussions about yoga and its effects on our lives, as well as how to adapt and incorporate them into our daily lives. Week 3 After arriving we will review supine asanas and practice prone (back) asanas. We will also continue to discuss the logistics of our practice as well as discuss any previously performed asanas and any possible needed adaptations. Week 4 After arriving we will review prone asanas and practice standing asanas and balance asanas. Babywearing adaptations will be explored. We will discuss babywearing and yoga including it's benefits and limitations. We we also discuss any other concepts or asanas that participants would like to revisit. This class will be offered again on Wednesdays August 1st through August 22nd, 2018
