Classes consist of strengthening, lengthening and relaxing movements combined with breathing and mindfulness tools that will help anchor your nervous system for the journey of Motherhood. Baby's are included with special connection through simple song and movement. Our classes are inclusive and welcoming of all moms experiencing the joys and struggles of Motherhood, both physically and mentally. One of the most beneficial parts of the class is connecting with others and sharing experiences. This class is for mothers and pre-crawling babies. Newborn babies are welcome, the most important thing is to be sure you are ready for yoga. About the Teacher: Bhavana Mody, RYT-500, C-IAYT, M.Ed, Mother Bhavana Mody took up a regular yoga practice in 2000, as a way to exercise and connect with her Indian roots. Bhavana has been a school teacher in public schools and always enjoyed bringing her yoga teachings into the classroom. Bhavana wanted to learn how to make yoga practices more accessible and more effective for students. In 2018, she became a trauma-informed certified yoga therapist through the International Association of Yoga Therapists (C-IAYT). Since then, Bhavana has studied, practiced and taught various styles and combinations of yoga – her teaching is trauma-informed and inclusive. Bhavana worked for 4 years with the Niroga Institute to bring more movement-based mindfulness programs into Bay Area public schools. She loves offering these tools and practices to everyone and looks forward to meeting more mothers in Sonoma County! She can also instruct in Spanish, when needed. Location for all classes is on the west-side of Petaluma, close to downtown and will be shared upon signup.
