Postnatal classes
In a postnatal yoga class, you can anticipate a supportive environment where new mothers focus on gentle movements and stretches designed to aid recovery after childbirth. Classes typically include exercises that strengthen the core and pelvic floor, improve flexibility, and promote relaxation. Instructors often incorporate breathing techniques and mindfulness practices to help alleviate stress and enhance the bonding experience with your baby. Additionally, many classes encourage to bring baby along and include poses you can do with your baby as well as some tummy time and gentle stretches you can do for baby to help alleviate any trapped gas. We allow time during class for social sharing & interaction among participants, fostering a sense of community among new moms.

Reiki
A reiki healing appointment involves a holistic approach to wellness, where a practitioner uses gentle touch or places their hands near the recipient's body to channel healing energy. During the session, you can expect a calming atmosphere, often enhanced by soft music and dim lighting. The practitioner will typically start by discussing your intentions and any specific concerns you may have. As you lie down fully clothed, the practitioner will move through various positions, focusing on energy centers known as chakras. Many clients report feelings of deep relaxation, warmth, or tingling sensations during the session. After the treatment, there is often time for reflection and discussion about your experience, as well as recommendations for ongoing self-care.
