This postnatal class series, designed for moms with babies 6-weeks to
pre-crawling, is perfect for any new mom who's looking to reconnect with your body as well as with other new moms in the community. Babies are welcome in class if the timing works for their schedule. This is a safe and secure space to ask questions and learn while relaxing and letting go.
Pricing: $100 general / $75 members
The series is taught by birth and post-partum doula Rebecca Henry. Classes focus on strengthening, stabilizing and stretching
all of the areas of the body hit hardest by pregnancy, childbirth and
caring for baby.
This includes your chest and back muscles, your core and pelvic floor as well as your shoulders, neck and wrists.
Restorative poses throughout each class will help soothe baby-addled
nerves. With babies welcome in class, you can feel free to stop your
practice anytime you need to care for baby. Each class gives you a
chance to connect with other new moms in the community and talk about
any issues you are having with your post baby body.

Rebecca’s journey with yoga and meditation began more than twenty years ago when she took precepts with the Zen Buddhist Society of Compassionate Wisdom, finding that a vigorous yoga practice was the only way to keep her chattering mind quiet on her meditation mat. As those practices expanded into helping her with the stresses of school, and, later, work and family life, she has been exploring the benefits of her practice on and off the mat ever since.
Forever a student, Rebecca brings a beginners mind and an awakened heart to her practice and teaching. Compassion, empathy, humor and joy are at the core of all of her classes. Her focus is on uniting mindful movement with breath while helping people understand of how their own unique body affects their individual practice, in both a traditional hatha as well as a more vinyasa style.
As a mother of two teenagers, she is impassioned to support other
people in their journey into parenthood through the mindfulness and
body-centered practices of yoga and meditation. As birth and postpartum
doula, she emphasizes childbirth education and body awareness in her
pre- and postnatal classes, bringing these practical aspects together
with a warm, nurturing teaching style.
Rebecca completed her 200 hour training with Tara Lemerise at Willow Street Yoga in Takoma Park, MD, pre and post natal yoga teacher training with Debra Flashenburg of the Prenatal Yoga Center of New York City and is certified with Leslie Howard in Pelvic Floor Yoga™. She has also completed training with Tara Lemerise, of Tara Lemerise Yoga, in Restorative Yoga, and has completed a 50 hr Yin Yoga certification with Machelle Lee of Roots and River Yoga.
