 KID's Yoga at Yoga Montclair Violet the Guru
I started the Kid's program at Yoga Montclair almost six years ago now, and it has grown into a community of little yogis who love to play. As we continue to grow and shift, the children/teen program offers a unique way for exercise to be coupled with thought. WE have three classes at the moment and are looking to expand, so please BE VOCAL with me and tell me what age group you are looking for! I would love a Boys Yoga Class, and a 4-6yr old class, how about you???  
 
MONDAYS:  5pm-6pm with Omni or Ali
 
Tween Yoga (ages 7-13)

This is such a brilliant age! Confidence and individuality is being clearly defined. In Yoga class, we learn our own personal strengths and weaknesses, and more importantly, how to learn and deal with our troubles. Tweens today have more on their plates then ever before from sports to academics. This class gives them a place to chill out and focus on themselves. Their patience increases, they feel more ease in their growing bodies, and they learn to work with one another in a supportive way. This class is also a time to talk about their feelings and emotions of what they experience day to day. Yoga is an amazing compliment to any sport as it allows for more flexibility and concentration. We will focus on poses that encourage strength, alignment, and clarity of action. Sign your tween up today and see the difference for yourself.
 
WEDNESDAY: 11:30-12:30pm with Omni or Deirdre
 
Mommy and Me (Babies 6 weeks - 16 months)
Come and deepen your bond to yourself and your baby. Strengthen your body and soul after giving birth, whether it's been 6 weeks or 16 months. Nourish yourself being with other moms and babies while rejoicing in the beauty of sharing yoga with your little ones. This class is built around YOU! Giving you a place to do Yoga for yourself and have your child with you. We will include some massage and yoga for babies to leave them shining and radiant too. Have fun through an atmosphere of organized chaos, that will help you and your precious babe to reduce stress, feel more connected and experience the joy of motherhood. (Dads are welcome too!)

THURSDAYS : 4:30pm-5:30pm with Omni or Ali

Teen Yoga (ages 14-17)
 Yoga is an incredible stress buster, something every teen needs! We will talk about everything in this class, from pressures caused by school academics, family, friends & more. Through Yoga we will learn how to reduce test anxiety & held fears. We will also strengthen and stretch, creating more ease in growing and hormonal bodies. Journaling and reading will help us to get things out! This class will build you up to face this new school year with pride & self-confidence!

What better time to either begin yoga or to deepen your understanding of yoga then when you are pregnant. As your attention tunes inward to the extraordinary changes taking place very quickly, yoga will open your awareness further to the constant comforting presence of your breath. Relax and relieve the physical discomforts that arise during pregnancy, while deepening your connection to the baby growing inside of you. Prepare your body with specific poses for the intensity of the birthing process, and learn what positions to do to prevent discomfort. Encouraging lightness and clarity in the mind, permission to be gentle with yourself, as well as accessing and strengthening your innate power, yoga will bring you and your baby simple joy, relaxation, comfort, and strength.

BreastfeedingBreastfeeding Workshop with Danit Wehle
Sunday January 30th, 2010
 2-5 pm ~ $80/couple
 
Like all mammals, babies have a natural instinct to nurse.  In fact, babies also have a natural instinct to find their mother's breast on their own and latch on. The more that we interfere with this natural process, the more complicated we make it.  

Breastfeeding has often become so 'medicalized' in our society that mothers are losing touch with the natural process of nursing one's young.  Most women deliver in a hospital setting and therefore are subject to the protocols and routines of the hospital.  The structure of the maternity ward is often not very conducive to mother/baby bonding, baby-led breastfeeding or breastfeeding on demand.  Therefore, it is essential, not only that women have adequate information about breastfeeding practices in the hospital, but that they have the knowledge and confidence to create the breastfeeding experience that they desire within the hospital setting. 

As a Board Certified Lactation Consultant and registered nurse who has worked in clinics, private homes, and various hospitals, Danit has designed a class that is geared to women who want to experience breastfeeding in a natural way, regardless of where or how they give birth. Nursing the Natural Way provides a strong foundation of breastfeeding education, while emphasizing the importance of the mother/baby bond and its effect on breastfeeding initiation and success.  In addition, the class covers key information about what to expect in the hospital and how to work within the hospital system to create an optimal breastfeeding experience.  

It is recommended that this class be taken with a husband/partner in the 3rd trimester.
