Parks Fitness Series

All ages yoga

This one is for every body, whether you're a seasoned yogi, or a literal baby (accompanied by a grownup), a first-timer, pre/post-natal* or anywhere else in your life's journey - we welcome you! Babies and kiddos are especially welcome. Each week we'll switch between a joyful, slow flow class and a more grounded practice with longer stretches and holds to open up the major muscle groups and release tension. Together we will cultivate strength, balance and flexibility in our mind and body. We'll end all of our classes with some restorative poses which will help create a sense of peace and connection within ourselves.

Plenty of opportunity to take this at your own pace. For parents and caregivers, feel free to take breaks to feed, diaper and interact with your baby/kiddo. For pregnant yogis, be mindful of and consider avoiding: deep backbends, heart-openers, closed twists (poses like camel, wheel, chair pose twist, etc). I hope to see you (and your little ones) at the park!
