Prenatal yoga will leave you feeling strong, relaxed, and more connected to yourself and your baby. Our classes go beyond simply modifying yoga poses. With an emphasis on strength, breathing, gentle stretches and community connection, this course can help prepare your mind and body for birth and parenting.
Each session will include poses that bring balance and alignment to your pelvis, pelvic floor, and pelvic and uterine ligaments. Through yoga asana, students can safely encounter strong sensations, and alongside that, discover the coping skills that work best for you and can later be applied to moments of physical or mental discomfort, like during labour and early parenthood. This mindful approach to yoga practice will leave you feeling ready for whatever lies ahead in pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
We empower students to continuously learn about pregnancy, the birthing process and early parenthood. Our practice sessions are grounded in a welcoming and open environment that celebrates the value of community as you explore this current chapter of life. This class is exclusively for pregnant people (not a partners class).
Beginners to yoga and any stage of pregnancy are welcome.

Release tension, support your nervous system, and rest deeply.
In this 6-week beginner-friendly course, you’ll explore the relationship between gentle movement, myofascial release, and restorative stillness. Each class begins with self-massage using therapy balls — we’ll roll to release tension, support breath, and invite ease into the body. We’ll also incorporate inflatable balls for guided breathing and somatic movement to help you settle and unwind.
From there, we transition into long-held restorative yoga poses supported by bolsters, blankets, and other props, allowing your body and mind to fully rest. Each week will focus on a different area of the body, offering a head-to-toe reset over the course of six weeks.
You’ll leave class feeling soft, soothed, and deeply cared for.
About Carol Kennedy: With a deep appreciation for restorative yoga and myofascial release, Carol is dedicated to creating safe, effective practices that support deep relaxation and self-care. She has completed over 100 hours of specialized training, including 50 hours in myofascial release, 40 hours in restorative yoga, and a 20-hour anatomy intensive. While restorative yoga has been part of Carol’s journey for over five years, myofascial release is a newer addition to her toolkit. She’s passionate about integrating this technique—using gentle, sustained pressure on connective tissue— with a nervous system-informed approach to enhance relaxation, regulation, and overall well-being.

It can be challenging to find uninterrupted moments to spend together with your teen/preteen during this busy period in both your lives, and so we invite you to come together for this hour to share in some playful and nurturing mindful movement. Designed as a practice mostly in parallel–with a couple moments of interaction–we will start with a slow flow that will engage and regulate your nervous system, finishing with a restorative moment and meditation (or as previous teens have called it, “yoga nap time”). No experience necessary for this beginner-friendly class, and any teen/pre-teen and caregiver combo that makes up your unique family is welcome.

While your body rests, you’ll be invited to take time to reflect on the year that has gone by and dream of what may happen in the year to come. Then you’ll have opportunities throughout the practice to journal about what comes up during these periods of reflection. You’ll receive a small pocket notebook to record your thoughts, but you are welcome to bring along your favorite journal and journaling tools to write, draw, or sketch your ideas in a way that is meaningful for you. Beginners welcome.

This special restorative event will combine restorative yoga with journaling, allowing the body and the mind to process and move through this annual period of transition. The restorative yoga practice will explore resting in comfortable shapes supported by props, like blankets and bolsters. While your body rests, you’ll be invited to take time to reflect on the year that has gone by and dream of what may happen in the year to come. Then you’ll have opportunities throughout the practice to journal about what comes up during these periods of reflection. You’ll receive a small pocket notebook to record your thoughts, but you are welcome to bring along your favorite journal and journaling tools to write, draw, or sketch your ideas in a way that is meaningful for you. Beginners welcome.
Deepen your yoga practice with dedicated learning opportunities. Whether you are seeking an approach to yoga that works for your body, or you want to focus on a specific area like postures and breathing, yoga philosophy, yoga ayurveda or self-care, we’ve got a teacher who wants to dive deep with you! Our staff are passionate life-long learners who love to share approachable practices with their students.

In-Studio Courses - Courses with only an IN-STUDIO listing will not include a virtual participation option, and class sessions will not be recorded.
Workshops: Our workshops are single modules that either introduce a concept that supports your regular practice, or dives deep into a special topic to stoke your curiosity. Workshops come with additional take-home handouts and video replay access to solidify your learning.
