Yoga for You! is also ideal for moms who've moved beyond the postpartum timeframe and want to continue their practice.



NEW CHILDBIRTH CLASS
Be an Enlightened MamaMama Kissing Baby
This month, we add a new childbirth class to the offerings at Blooma: Enlightened Mama is taught by Liz Abbene and Carey Elofson. "Nurture Your Mind, Nurture Your Child"--that's the Enlightened Mama philosophy. The class provides in-depth, evidence-based information about pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum in a fun, relaxed environment. The classes are dynamic, interactive, personalized, and not your typical childbirth classes! The class also covers:
  • the incredible things your body does to prepare for birth,
  • comfort measures and relaxation techniques for an easier and shorter labor,
  • how to get breastfeeding off to a good start, and
  • incredible characteristics of your newborn.
These classes will be kept small so you get personalized attention. The 2-part, 12-hour course is $175, which includes The Official Lamaze Guide and a supplemental course guide. Please contact Carey at 612-865-9642 or Liz at 952-457-3834 with further questions. More information is also available at EnlightenedMama.com and Lamaze.org.
