Wednesdays, 10am, Drop In, In Person, In Studio (No Class Oct 16 - Make Up Class/Last Class Nov 6)
Our Mommy & Me Yoga class offers an opportunity for new moms to get out and connect with other moms. We provide instruction for gentle stretching and movement customized for the postpartum period.
We welcome breaks, nursing, crying, cooing, feeding, changing, soothing, snuggling - this class is all about going with the flow! Some weeks your sense of accomplishment may come from simply getting out of the house, but we encourage you to join and do a little something for you. Happy mama = happy baby.
Absolutely no yoga experience is needed.
Our Instructor
Amy Rohrer, Yoga Teacher, BAM & TYS
Amy is a new mama, registered yoga teacher, ayurveda wellness counsellor and self care enthusiast - passionate about whole-hearted living and sharing the gifts of yoga with others. While she has been practicing yoga for over 15 years, it was her own health crisis that led her to undergo her yoga teacher training in 2017 to understand and immerse herself more deeply into yoga as it was such a grounding tool that helped her feel more ease and support during that health crisis. Amy spent 3 months living at an ashram, practicing yoga daily, nourishing her mind, body & soul, learning how to be more present with the uncomfortable, and to hold space for herself as she peeled back the many layers of her own healing journey. Upon returning from her yoga training - she felt the pull to share the many gifts that yoga had blessed her with, and to make yoga accessible for those who may be going through their own challenges too.
In addition to her 200 hour Sivananda Hatha Yoga Certification, she has undergone a 100 hour Therapeutic Yoga Training, Yin Yoga, Chair Yoga, Trauma Informed Movement & both Pre & Post Natal Certifications. She has also been fascinated with Ayurveda (the sister science to yoga) and underwent training in Ayurvedic Cooking and is also an Ayurveda and Yoga Wellness Counsellor. She is also currently working towards her 300hour yoga certification with PranaShanti Yoga Centre in Ottawa. But her greatest blessing and teacher in yoga and life has been the birth of her son in 2022. Witnessing her body change and adapt through pregnancy to create a little human, give birth and heal post C-section, and also journey into motherhood - has been so awakening, empowering and humbling all wrapped into one. Amy was thankfully introduced to the WOMB early on in her pregnancy - and had such a wonderful experience partaking in prenatal yoga, pelvic floor physio, doula support, and postpartum services - that she is over the moon to be joining this amazing community that was such a sacred space for her own pregnancy & partum journey!
Amy's classes will guide you to gently move, nourish and reconnect to your body, to build your toolkit to be able to support and experience regulating your own nervous system, to connect with your little one, and most importantly to give yourself grace and compassion both on and off the yoga mat!
