Strengthening poses that will support areas that may have been weakened by pregnancy (for mums) and deeply restorative poses that nourish all new parents.
You’ll practice breathing techniques (Pranayama) that can help you parent more calmly and consciously, as well as some simple infant massage techniques to use in your bedtime routines.
This workshop does not require any previous yoga experience just a willingness to be present and open to connection.
