This course is designed and led by Dr. Cassie Hyde, a pelvic floor physical therapist at Renew Physical Therapy. The information is designed for people in the second half of their pregnancy. This class meets twice for one hour each time on Thursday January 8 and 15 from 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM and will cover a variety of information like pregnancy-safe hip mobility, laboring positions, pelvic floor down training/relaxation, and postpartum expectations. 

The class will help expecting parents understand their bodies, prepare for labor, and feel confident heading into birth. Each session blends simple anatomy, guided breathwork, and hands-on exercises to teach how the pelvic floor and core work during pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum recovery.

Led by Michelle Wing from IYK®, this class is designed for parents and kids to practice yoga together, creating lasting memories while fostering connection, flexibility, and strength. This class offers poses and activities for all ages, with plenty of opportunities for laughter and bonding.

Each session will also support a great cause, making your practice even more meaningful. Come stretch, play, and give back as a family!

Could your teen or pre-teen (geared for ages 10-14) benefit from exercise, flexibility, body awareness, and mindfulness?

Guided by Tiana, students will experience the amazing benefits of yoga for body, mind, and soul in a lighthearted environment. Classes will include breathing exercises, discussion of topics such as self-confidence and body positivity, yoga flow, mindfulness, and meditation.

This class serves as a weekly ritual for mothers to be nourished by the same love they pour into their families day in and day out. Through slow, somatic movement and pranayama (breathwork), we prioritize deep core strength and pelvic floor health while softening tension through self-massage, and finish with a meditation. May this class become a supportive place on your motherhood journey. 

A productive labor begins when your body feels safe. When you feel supported, grounded, and regulated, your nervous system can shift out of fight-or-flight and into the parasympathetic state where labor hormones flow more efficiently. This sense of safety allows the body to soften, the pelvis to open, and contractions to work with you rather than against you.

This workshop is designed to help you feel at home in your body, understand what is happening physiologically, and learn how to regulate your nervous system so labor can unfold with more ease, confidence, and trust. You will be empowered to make your labor and delivery an experience that aligns with your values, your body, and your vision. You’ll learn how to recognize and respond to the signals your body sends to your brain, strengthening your connection to intuition and your body’s innate intelligence so you can make informed, embodied choices during labor.
