Join us virtually on Wednesdays from 6-6:45pm for Zoom Yoga
Our special yogis have been practicing together for nearly FIVE years! Each class focuses on gentle movement, mindfulness, balance, and stress release. Calming benefits will follow you well beyond your yoga mat.
When participating at home it's important to have a safe and uncluttered space to practice in. A mat is nice but not required. This will be a gentle slower paced class, combining motion and stretching. We encourage families to join the class together and practice on their own too.
This is a group for moms of all stages, designed to foster relationships. Join us for a drop in visit or ongoing sessions. Each week will focus on a specific topic that new and repeat mothers often encounter.
We appreciate your registration below! This is a no-cost group sponsored by About Families, however, your donations are sincerely appreciated to keep our programs running!
