Mom & Baby Yoga

at Fusion Yoga Studio — 2310 Fair Oaks Blvd., Sacramento, CA, 95825

Regain strength and flexibility, bond with your baby and connect with other moms. Mom & Baby Yoga practice is designed specifically for the needs of a new mom. We strengthen the entire body with emphasis on the core, pelvic floor and posture while integrating our babies into the practice.

This class goes beyond the physical aspect of yoga as we use each pose as an opportunity to connect more deeply with our babies through eye contact, breath, touch and mindfulness. Learn to quiet the mind and find serenity as you get fit and gain confidence in your mothering through this integrative yoga practice. In each class we also take a moment to share our journeys with other new moms in the spirit of support and community.

Mom & Baby Yoga is appropriate for new moms with any level of yoga experience. All babies from 6 weeks to newly-crawling welcome.

How soon after your baby is born should you come to Mom & Baby Yoga?

The answer to that is up to you. In yogic tradition, and in many indigenous cultures, women stay home with their precious newborns for 40 days after birth. This time is a sacred celebration where the home is kept peaceful and quiet and visitors are limited to only the mother's closest relatives whose job it is to nurture the postpartum woman by providing delicious meals and teas, and to take care of all the household duties so she can heal, rest, nurse her lovely baby, and maintain almost constant physical contact with her baby. This magical time allows mother and child to develop a strong heart connection to one another while giving the baby ample time to adjust to life outside the womb in the gentlest way possible.

So keeping this in mind, use your intuition and journey out into the world with your amazing baby when you feel ready. For many new moms, coming to a Mom & Baby Yoga class is a safe and manageable first outing and the fact that you can come in your pjs is an added bonus! Just bring yourself, your baby and your diaper bag! Be gentle with yourself and enjoy the precious and magical first few weeks with your little one. Try your best to arrive on-time but if you're a few minutes late, we won't hold it against you. We understand how tricky it can be to get out of the house with a baby in-tow!
