W/ LAURA LEVENTHAL

Back to School

Is your favorite part of class Savasana (final resting pose)?  Moms-to-be come check out a new prenatal class with an emphasis on gentle movements, breath and restorative postures designed to reduce fatigue, relieve back strain and prepare mamas-to-be for labor and birth. Taught by Laura Leventhal, certified relax and renew (TM) trainer, Blooma's restorative prenatal class is the antidote to the physical and emotional changes that take place during pregnancy.  
 
*it is recommended to wear layers of clothing and/or socks to class as you may become cool while practicing.

I was approached this spring by a wonderful man who wanted to give his sister a special gift of yoga. He offered his talent in exchange for yoga classes. WOW!
Thank you Michael for your
AWESOME work!

KIDS CAMP
Kids Camp

A fun-filled afternoon for kids to explore their imaginations, express their own personal creativity and have a whole lot of fun in the process! As kids express themselves in a playful, free, and natural way- their self esteem and creativity will take flight! We will use interactive storytelling, poses, games, music, and art to soar to new heights! We will become the frog hopping on the lily pads and the tree swaying in the wind. Each workshop will include an art project that the kids can take home with them that is inspired by the day's practice.  Taught by Lindsay McCoy.

Belly Mapping


Belly Mapping by Gail Tully, BS, CPM, CD(DONA) will be a night at Blooma that you will not want to miss! Belly Mapping is a three-step process for identifying baby's position in the final months of pregnancy.  The course of labor can be affected by baby's position.

Parents  enjoy using Belly Mapping to connect with their baby and doulas and medical caregivers enhance their skills by using the visual clues of Belly Mapping. Strategies will be discussed for fetal repositioning when a posterior lie is suspected.
