Baby and Me Movement

 

Calling all Gorge mamas and your precious babes - let's gather, move together, and cultivate community!

 

This special postpartum movement class series will provide a supportive space for mamas and your pre-crawling babes to bond through a nourishing movement practice. We will move in ways that help heal, rebuild, and strengthen our bodies after childbirth, and alleviate the common tight/sore spots that come with motherhood. There will be a focus on core and pelvic floor reintegration, bodyweight strength exercises, therapeutic stretching, self-myofascial release work, and sustainable ways to move through daily babycare to prevent tension patterns from taking root in your body. Throughout class, we will weave in creative movement with your baby, and specific movements just for your baby. This is time for you, mama, to move your body for physical and emotional wellbeing, connect with other local mamas, and share in the joy of movement with your little one.

We will use various props to support our movement practice. Please bring a baby blanket to use during class to place over the studio props, and anything else that will make your time in class more comfortable. Your baby doesn't have to be present at every class, or any class, if you'd rather take this time for some solo mama movement. The structure of these classes is very flexible and adaptable!

Nursing, diaper changing, crying babies, sleeping babies, and playful babies are all welcome in this space.

Community Connection in Recovery: 

Holistic Health Coaching & Support Circle at Flow Yoga

Saturday, June 20th, 11:00–1:00pm

Guided by Tifani Blouin, Certified Holistic Health & Sobriety Coach, Yoga

12-Step Recovery Peer Support Guide & Registered Yoga Teacher

On the eve of the summer solstice, join in community—a time to pause,

reflect, and set intentions for how you want to feel this summer. Step into

your Sober Summer Era—a season of feeling good in your body, creating a

life that doesn’t revolve around a drink, and experiencing the kind of joy,

connection, and ease that actually lasts.

This 2-hour gathering is open to anyone exploring patterns of behavior that

no longer serve them, or who are impacted by the behaviors of others.

Whether you're walking the path of recovery or simply seeking change, you

are welcome here.

We’ll begin with a supportive recovery sharing circle, followed by practices

you can return to all summer long—supporting you in feeling good, staying

present, and creating a life that feels full without needing to check out.

In community, when we speak our truth and are met with compassion,

something shifts. The weight lessens. We remember we are not alone. As

bell hooks reminds us,“We all heal in community, not in isolation.” 

This is a fundraiser for The Gorge Recovery Center — a non-profit

dedicated to creating a vibrant, safe space for people in recovery to build

community, access peer support, and engage in meaningful recreation.

Pre-registration is $5 to hold your space: https://www.flowhoodriver.com/event-calendar.html

Please plan to bring a suggested donation to the workshop: $10–$25+ to benefit The Gorge Recovery Center.
