We can't say enough about Belly to Belly! This is the opportunity that so many mamas-to-be tell us they are looking for: time for yoga, time to connect with other women, time to share & seek support for pregnancy and motherhood. We'll dedicate about half of each class to your yoga practice and the other half to chatting about pregnancy & parenthood topics like transformation, becoming a mother, relationships, and the connection between fear and pain. Both the discussion and the yoga practice will be led by Emily MacLaury, a warm-hearted doula, mama, and yogini. The three-week Belly to Belly workshop is Sunday evenings, 5:30pm-7pm, beginning July 6.

 

About Jennifer and her yoga: Jennifer began her personal yoga journey more than 10 years ago, as she made her way through a career as a fashion designer. Through years of extensive travel and intensive work, she found her way back to yoga time and again. Having been a competitive gymnast and diver, Jennifer also had an appreciation for graceful movement--and the kind of repetitive stress injuries common in her chosen sports. Yoga offered a solution for it all: respite from the stress of work, relief from her injuries, and a physical practice that soothed her body and her mind.

When Jennifer left the corporate world, she pursued two passions: yoga and design. Finally feeling in control of her destiny, she opened a boutique with a long-time friend, started the interior styling business Filigree Design, and went after her dream of many years to become a yoga teacher. She found a sense of belonging and solace in the yoga community. She completed the Corepower Vinyasa teacher training program in 2005; she's also studied with Rolf Gates, Cameron Shane, Seane Corn, and Dave Farmar. She is trained in Vinyasa, Hot, Prenatal, Postnatal, Baby, and Kids yoga.

In 2007, she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Mommyhood, she says, couldn't be more amazing!
