Mama Baby Yoga tomorrow and every Monday. Can’t make it in person? Join me online instead!
It takes A LOT to be a new parent. Caring for a baby while also healing from pregnancy can be intensely exhausting and stressful.
Mama baby yoga combines mindful breath with gentle rhythmic movements to support the re-integration of the pelvic floor, core, and hips, while also providing time for deep, healing rest. Hope you can join me!

I cannot speak highly enough for these transformational practices! After 17 years of practicing many different styles of yoga, THIS STUFF IS MY FAVORITE. This was the first yoga practice I ever did where I felt truly re-integrated as a woman and experienced deep healing. My heart is full of joy that I get to share these classes. Hope you can come! 🩸💜🙏🏼

As a new mom, your postpartum body has been through a TREMENDOUS transformation at every level. An IMMENSE amount of energy is needed to recover and heal from pregnancy and birth, and an immense amount is going to your baby as well. Mama Baby Yoga uses gentle rhythmic movements with breath to help re-knit the abdominal wall, recover pelvic floor strength and even tone, and support an overall “refill” of your vital energy at every level, so you can heal AND care for your baby with more kindness, equanimity, and ease. No yoga experience necessary. DM me with any questions. Sign up link is in my bio! ☺️

Some of the many faces of my resting time with Yoga Nidra. Motherhood is HARD WORK. After running myself into the ground as a stressed out new mom, I learned the hard way that I MUST REST to be a continued resource for my family and myself. Now I make a daily effort to rest and replenish my resources, to fill my bucket so I can continue to nurture my family, my community, myself, and other new moms (and all exhausted people).
The postpartum time is an intense phase of transition for new parents, and new moms especially. Oftentimes women don’t have the tribal support to navigate this challenging time that we would have had in generations past, and instead, we are left caring for babies AND trying to recover from the MONUMENTAL challenge of pregnancy and birth at the physical, energetic, mental and emotional level.
Having moved through my own transition into motherhood with some moments of grace, compassion, gratitude, and help, and many other moments of loneliness, fatigue, rage, and anxiety, it is my deepest honor to be offering Mama Baby Yoga in addition to my other regular weekly classes.
Mama Baby Yoga is offered in the spirit of support, connection, and community every Monday at the Sage Center for Wholeness and Health in Beaverton. Bring your baby and take time to replenish your inner reserves, reconnect and re-knit your body, AND have fun connecting and bonding with your own tiny human miracle. Link in my bio to sign up!

Just received these beautiful Yantras from and feeling especially grateful/awed/humbled by the presence of these now posted up in my bedroom.
These yantras represent all 10 Mahavidyas, or wisdom goddesses. They are a visual representation of the various ways that the various energies of the deep feminine as the power of life Herself manifest in us as we journey through this existence.
From top left to bottom right they are:
Kali, Tara, Sodasi, Bhuvanesvari, Kamalatmika, Matangi, Chinnamasta, Bagalamuki, Bhairavi, and Dhumavati.
I explore various ways to connect with and honor these powerful energies in my Well Woman yoga class every Saturday, and they accompany us through Mama Baby yoga as well.
If you want a more specific breakdown of these symbols, I highly recommend Uma’s book, Yoni Shakti (Source Power) as a detailed exploration of all 10 Mahavidyas and the ways they support our unfolding cyclical wisdom through every stage of life.
Jai Maa!

No Mama Baby Yoga this morning (1/9) 😢. I’ve got a sick kiddo at home, so I gotta tend to my own mama duties!
Wishing you all good health and some space to REST so we can all be more resourced for those who depend on us.
💜💜💜🙏🏼
