Postnatal Yoga

Join our post-baby community and feel supported through the physical and emotional shifts of early parenting. These classes focus on the parents’ recovery with gentle movement, breathwork, strengthening, and relaxation — with babies welcome in ways that work for you. We’re building two postnatal options so you can choose the support that best fits your stage.

YOU HAD A BABY! (POSTNATAL YOGA - Parent-Focused Recovery)

This class is designed to support your postpartum recovery in a calm, parent-first environment. Expect gentle movement, strengthening, balancing postures, breathwork, and deep relaxation to help you rebuild stability and confidence in your body.

This is not a “baby-and-me” class — the focus stays on the parent — but babies are welcome and can be incorporated if they need to be held. A small selection of Montessori-style toys may be available to support various ages.

What to expect:

Gentle mobility + recovery-focused movement
Core and stability work at an accessible pace
Breathing and relaxation for nervous system support
Baby can attend (pre-crawling), with flexibility for feeding/holding

POSTNATAL YOGA (LEVEL 2): Recovery + Strength (6m+ babies welcome)

This option is for parents who want to continue rebuilding strength and connection after the early postpartum stage.

You’ll still get recovery-informed movement, but with a slightly more active pace and more time spent on foundational strength — especially core support, breath mechanics, and stability.

Babies 6 months and up are welcome. While the class remains parent-focused, the structure will better accommodate older babies who are more alert and mobile.

POSTNATAL FAQ

When can I start attending postnatal baby yoga?
Sometimes we can feel ready to step back on our mat soon after we have had our babies, but you want to take it slow. It also depends on the type of birth you had and how your recovery has been going.
Ensure that you have had your final six-week checkup with your care provider and you are cleared for exercise. If you had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery, you may be cleared at 6 weeks postpartum. If you had a cesarean delivery, please allow for at least 12 weeks of recovery before attending your first yoga class.
It is highly recommended that you also see a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist post-birth to also ensure that your core and pelvic floor are healing. The 4th trimester is a very real thing and our bodies need time to heal before we move back onto the mat. We only have one chance to heal properly after birth, we don't want to rush our bodies.
I have never done yoga before, would it be ok to start in a postnatal class?
Absolutely! It is a wonderful time to start. You are reconnecting with your postnatal body and wanting to honour how it is feeling.
Yoga allows you to integrate mindful movement, meditation, and breathwork.
What should I bring to class?
You will want to bring your yoga mat, a water bottle, a diaper bag, a blanket for your baby to lie on, and anything else that would give you or your baby comfort.
What should I wear?
Wear clothing that is breathable, easy to move in and you are comfortable wearing. Always good to dress in layers in case you become warm or cold.
The room is non-heated. Of course, if you are nursing, a top that allows you to comfortably feed your baby.
What can I expect from the practice?
You may have discovered already as a new parent or a seasoned parent if this is not your first baby, that babies are unpredictable.
You may come to class and be able to do the whole practice from opening check-in right through to savasana while your baby sleeps or contentedly rests. Or you may come to lay down on your mat, get in a few down dogs, and then your baby needs you.
The postnatal yoga practice with your baby will look different and that is ok.
When you are holding your baby you may be able to get in some poses. If you are unable to fully practice, take that time to focus on your breath in a calm space surrounded by other parents in the very same season as you.
