Baby Yoga offers gentle movement, connection, and mindful practice in a calm, supportive environment for parents and their babies. Designed to encourage bonding, ease postpartum tension, and introduce simple movement and breath work, the class supports both caregiver and child during the early stages of growth and development. Through guided stretches, simple poses, and shared moments of stillness, participants are invited to move with awareness while responding naturally to their baby’s needs.
Classes are led by certified yoga instructor Miriam Patterson, an experienced teacher known for her calm, supportive, and inclusive approach. Drawing on decades of practice and training, Miriam teaches a gentle flow style that emphasizes breath awareness, safe alignment, and mindful movement. Her teaching is grounded in lived experience and a deep understanding of how yoga supports both physical well-being and emotional connection, making her classes especially well-suited for caregivers and babies navigating early parenthood together.
Sessions take place in Clark Hall, a bright and serene studio-style space with tall windows that fill the room with natural light. The hall’s open, peaceful atmosphere creates a sense of calm and quiet reflection, offering an ideal setting for gentle movement, presence, and connection. The space supports both physical practice and a subtle sense of grounding that many participants describe as restorative and uplifting.
