Sunday Yoga Classes
w/ Cathy Louise Broda
Pregnancy Yoga
Sundays 9:00-10:15a
Pregnancy is a time of change and celebration, as well as anticipation and anxiety. Yoga brings great awareness to what is going on within you and it gives you energy, restoring what you are putting into baby and also preparing you for birth.
Breath is the key. You will learn a technique that you can use anytime and will be especially helpful during labor. The breath is combined with postures (asanas) that safely strengthen your arms and legs and stretch the torso and spine to create space for growing baby. You may be familiar with Kegal exercises and in yoga terms this is called mula bandha (root lock). By practicing pelvic floor exercises you get a good start for both labor and after baby is born. Calmness comes from correct breathing and being in a friendly, supportive environment where you can focus on baby and you.
We recommend starting after your thirteenth week. Ask your health care provider if yoga is appropriate for you.
Mom & Baby Yoga
Sundays 10:30-11:45a
Getting back into exercise after giving birth is not easy for many new mothers, who find that just leaving the house is a great effort. Coming to Mom & Baby Yoga not only motivates you to get out and about with baby, this fun and safe class is revitalizing and relaxing.
Yoga exercises and movement combined with proper breathing helps Mom restore the pelvic floor, regain the inner strength of her abdomen and rediscover a sense of calm. It also provides babies with a soothing environment to both interact with Mom and experience their bodies in a new world. One of the special things about the class is that you are in a supportive space where you can take time out to nurse. Also, baby can choose to participate in the class, have a cry or fall asleep!
The class is suitable for newborns up until they start crawling and for mothers who have been cleared by their doctors to resume exercise. The teacher Cathy Louise is a mom of three including twins.

HOW TO PREPARE
If it is your first time to the studio please arrive approximately 10 minutes before your class/appointment to settle into the space and fill out an intake form. Bring a water bottle to keep hydrated (we have a water dispenser should you need a refill). We provide mats; if you would like to use your own, please feel free. You may work up a sweat so we have towels on hand for you to use. Please bring a pair of socks (with grips is ideal) with you; we also have clean socks on hand if your forget.
Attire
Workout Attire: Dress comfortably in clothing that moves easily with your body; more form-fitted clothing is ideal as we move in all planes of motion and on props/equipment where loose clothing may hinder you. Our studio is air conditioned and cool, so you may want to have a light cover up for the beginning of your session if you tend to run cold.
Aerial Pilates Attire: Form-fitted clothing including a long sleeve shirt is required in order to protect your skin from potential fabric burn and to protect the fabric from sweat. Please no zippers or accents on your clothing that can snag the fabric.
