🌿Nurtured and Rooted: Prenatal and Postpartum Supportive Yoga for Parents & Babies

Over 8 weeks, we invite you into a warm, supportive space where movement, breath, and community weave together to offer nourishment for your whole being. This is not about “getting back” to anything. It is about gently returning to yourself.

Led by Birth & Postpartum Doula and certified yoga instructor Jessica Palmquist, this slow‑flow, beginner‑friendly class offers spacious, accessible practices designed specifically for pregnant and postpartum bodies. Each session blends breath‑linked movement and mindful pauses — all held within a community of fellow parents and parents to be who understand the tenderness of this season.

You are welcome exactly as you are.

If you need to pause to nurse, soothe, rock, or change your baby, you are supported. If your little one needs to wiggle, coo, or be held the entire class, that is welcomed too.

Throughout the series, we’ll explore themes such as connection, gratitude, balance, flexibility, playfulness, letting go, and community — meeting you where you are each week, and honouring the truth that healing and well‑being are woven, not separate.

A baby‑friendly play mat, toys, and books will be available, along with a change‑table station for your convenience.

Suggested for non-crawling babies under 12 months, but if you feel this class is suitable for your baby we invite you to join us.

Today I got caught in the rain on my daily walk.

I was already on my way home, but I was only halfway through my walk and by the time I realized how hard it was raining, I was literally soaked.

What I didn’t do was panic or overreact.

I didn’t run. I didn’t rush. I simply welcomed the cool rain on my skin and kept walking.

It reminded me that sometimes, life doesn’t go according to plan. You can’t always plan for perfect weather. Storms will come and go, and it’s not necessarily the storm itself that matters, but how we choose to move through it.

The rain reminded me that every storm can be a fresh start. A new beginning. An invitation to pause, become present, and trust that we can keep moving forward, one small baby step at a time.

This analogy is symbolic of so many journeys and new chapters in life.

I encourage you to embrace the rain. Welcome it, even.

Let it teach you presence. Let it teach you resilience. Let it remind you that you don’t need to know exactly what’s coming next to keep taking the next step.

This simple mindfulness approach is something that has helped me move through many storms I once didn’t think I would ever get through.

So, thinking of you today on this dreary Wednesday, wherever you are and whatever you may be moving through.

Whether you’re navigating a transition through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, or building a business and stepping into a new chapter of entrepreneurship, you don’t have to have it all figured out.

Sometimes the next step is simply to slow down, breathe, stay present, and take one small baby step forward.

And if you need someone in your corner as you move through your next big transition, I’m here.
