Weekly classes at Blooma include guidance in breathing, movement, body awareness, and stress relief. Be Blooma well with better blood circulation, a better oxygenated blood supply, and increased strength and stamina for the muscles affected by pregnancy, labor, delivery–and a lifetime of parenting!
Please come to class with an open heart and an open mind about what you will learn and experience. Wear comfy clothes that allow you to move easily and freely. You can bring just your bare feet and a smile–we have mats, blankets, blocks, and water for you.
It\'s best to avoid eating an hour or so before class (but no need to feel like you\'re starving. If you need a little nibble, have one!) Please avoid heavy fragrance, as strong smells–especially during pregnancy!–might be too much for your classmates to handle.
You can view our weekly schedule here.
Our class schedule is on-going--you do not need to sign up for a "session" and therefore can begin anytime! Use the goldenrod navigation bar towards the top of the schedule to navigate from week to week. Feel free to contact us with any questions!

Prenatal Yoga.
FOR: Pregnant Women (friends and partners welcome to join in class.)
Pregnancy is a wonderful time to begin a yoga practice! New students and experienced yoginis alike will appreciate how this class connects you to baby and prepares you, body and heart, for childbirth.
We guide you gracefully through meditation, breathing, and movement that provides much-needed relaxation while strengthening the muscles that support your growing baby during pregnancy and labor.
Reconnect with your body\'s innate wisdom about birth, and connect with other moms in a safe, open community that encourages you to freely discuss your concerns, joys, discomforts, and the many wonders that you, your body, and your baby are experiencing.
You may begin your practice at any point in your pregnancy--read more here. You do not need to have prior yoga experience--we have women of all levels in our Prenatal Yoga classes.

Take It Easy Yoga.
FOR: Postnatal Women, Everyone. Pregnant Women may take this class, though it is not specifically a Prenatal class.
Looking for a practice that\'s more restorative in nature? Are you new to yoga? Recently Post-partum? Or maybe you need to stretch after a long work week? Whatever it is that’s got you yearning for a slower pace, we welcome you to Take It Easy with your practice.
Enjoy a slow-but-steady moving, easy-going, laid-back hour on the mat as you soothe your stress while lightly energizing your body. We’ll concentrate on breath, add in a little bit of low-key strength-building work, and enjoy some feel-good stretching. You’ll leave feeling at ease in your body, at peace in the world, and delightfully relaxed. This is a class that is truly welcoming of everyone! It\'s a super way to connect with your partner, too--and you can put the kiddos in child care to make it a family affair!

","","","4"], ["20","BYOB: Bring Your Own Baby Yoga","BYOB* Yoga: *Bring Your Own Baby.
FOR: Grown-up and Baby togehter!
Nurture your baby while caring for yourself. The Yoga Bonding sequence, created by Lisa Bergly, lets baby in on the yoga action, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Through loving touch, sight, and sound, you (moms, dads, grandmas, and other caregivers) build a strong bond of trust and security–the foundation of self confidence for baby.
The class also offers a chance for moms (or dads!) to connect with other new moms, and to be a part of a warm, supportive community. Moms are welcome to feed baby (by breast or bottle) any time during class in the studio, and to change baby\'s diaper any time too. In fact, this class helps baby work up an appetite, make impressive diapers, and sleep, sleep, sleep!
BYOB is great for moms who are feeling fine at 6 weeks postpartum. Mamas who had a Cesarean-section should wait a little longer–8 to 10 weeks; check with your doctor or midwife. Babies can begin Yoga Bonding at any time, and tend to enjoy the class until they are crawling (at which point you\'ll want to check out BYOB*Crawlers!).

FOR: Grown-up and Crawler together!
Bring Your Own Baby Yoga II. Once baby\'s on the move, you will be, too. That\'s your cue to join us for BYOB*Crawlers. In this Yoga Bonding II sequence, you\'ll take your baby bonding to the next level. As baby grows into the second year, we\'ll nurture your little one\'s need for connection and movement, while establishing boundaries, fluidity, integrity, and honor.
For moms, continued yogic practice into baby\'s second year can help you reconnect with your sense of self and better regulate the emotional super-highs and too-low-lows you may have experienced in the months after baby\'s birth. Physically, we\'ll continue where BYOB Yoga Bonding left off, targeting abs, hips, and thighs, with additional focus on the low back. What a great way to feel stronger, more toned and more confident! (Dads or Grandparents welcome, too!)
BYOB*Crawlers is ideal for babies from the time their crawling (or scooting, or sliding, or generally wiggling all about!) until they\'re about 18 months old. Each class is 45 minutes, to honor the importance of integrating baby into the sequence without wearing out their attention span, overstimulating them, or creating frustration. As with the BYOB* class, babies can be fed and diapered in the studio, and the class is open to any of baby\'s caregivers.

The happy side effect is improved concentration for learning, less anxiety, more energy, and all-around better self-confidence to help kids grow up great! Moms and Dads, take a break!
