Designed to support postpartum recovery and the transition into motherhood.
Postnatal yoga is designed to support postpartum recovery and the transition into motherhood. These classes will address the physical and emotional challenges many new mothers face, from lack of sleep and heightened sensitivity to celebrating your body's incredible journey. With everything from progressive core programs to practices to do with your baby, you'll find the ongoing and unconditional support you need.
Yoga
Connect with earth’s energy by emphasizing your feet and activating the pelvic floor (home of the Root Chakra) in this slow-moving Postnatal practice. Find more stability on the mat, increase your presence, and establish a sense of ease transitioning through postures. Poses include Trikonasana (Triangle), Salabhasana (Locust), Ustrasana (Camel), and Baddha Konasana (Butterfly). This class previously aired on May 23, 2023 as a part of Glo’s Mindful May Series.
Yoga
This Postnatal class stretches areas of your body that are typically tight from holding and nursing a newborn (low back and shoulders) while strengthening areas that provide you stability (legs and core). Move through gentle poses to start, then practice powerful poses like Extended Side Angle, Warrior I & II, and Goddess Pose. Feel free to practice with your newborn! You are welcome to skip things if they don’t feel right and take as many breaks as needed. This class previously aired on May 16, 2023. Please note: Postnatal yoga is for those who have consulted a doctor or midwife and are cleared for exercise.
Yoga
This Postnatal class is more of a series of exercises than a full flow. It helps to reintegrate your core strength during postpartum recovery.

This class previously aired on May 2, 2023. Please note: Postnatal yoga is for those who have consulted a doctor or midwife and are cleared for exercise.

This lesson gracefully discusses the realities of postpartum to prepare you to overcome possible pitfalls.

A healing postnatal Pilates fusion flow filled with slow, mindful exercises (and plenty of modifications) that focus on gentle core work to wake up the body and begin to reactivate your muscles.

Props Suggested: 2-3 lb. hand weights and a Pilates ball. *Note: this healing routine is not to be done until six weeks postpartum.
Yoga
Carrying and caring for your baby is a physically demanding task. This postnatal sequence is designed to target the neck and shoulder tension common in new mothers. Melt away tightness in lunges with cactus arms, side stretches, and twists, along with gomukhasana and cobra work to open up your chest, shoulders, and back. Wind things down with a simple mantra in savasana, then return to seated for a brief contemplation of your own healing touch. Props Suggested: A strap and a blanket.
Yoga
This gentle, yet strengthening postnatal flow will help you reconnect with yourself as you settle into new motherhood.

The last ten minutes feature a lovely wind down that leads into a revitalizing savasana. Props Suggested: A blanket. *Note: please make sure you have consulted your doctor or have had your postnatal checkup and have been cleared for exercise prior to taking this class.
Yoga
This gentle yet effective, full-body routine is designed to help new moms reconnect with their bodies. Learn to reengage your core and pelvic floor, as you work on getting stronger from head to toe.

Yoga
This class is a first step in knitting together and rebuilding your core-stabilizing and supportive muscles.

You'll rediscover your strength, while honoring your body and its incredible journey along the way.
Yoga
This gentle flow will help new mamas nurture themselves, and balance their bodies post-baby.
