Nobody wants to picture the worst-case moment with their baby. But knowing exactly what to do, before you ever need it, is the kind of calm that lets you actually settle into those early days instead of bracing through them

This 2.5-hour workshop puts the skills in your hands: infant CPR, choking relief, safe sleep, and baby-proofing, taught by a certified instructor in a small group where you can ask anything. You'll practice the techniques yourself, not just watch them, so they're there when it counts

What you'll learn:

• Infant CPR & choking relief: step-by-step techniques for babies under one

• Home & sleep safety: safe sleep guidelines, baby-proofing, and preventing common accidents at home

• Emergency preparedness: when to call for help, and what to do in a fall or allergic reaction

• Hands-on practice & Q&A: real-time guidance and your questions answered in a supportive small group

For expecting parents, new parents, grandparents, and anyone who'll be caring for a baby. No prior CPR experience needed

One ticket covers you and your partner, ensuring a personalized learning experience with ample time for questions and hands-on practice. This class is designed to build confidence rather than certify—while it does not include official CPR/first aid certification, it focuses on real-world skills to help you respond effectively in emergencies.

House Rules

These rules create a safe, respectful, and nurturing space for mothers to connect, share, and support one another without judgment.

• Confidentiality: What is shared in the circle stays in the circle. This ensures a safe space for open and honest conversation without fear of judgment or gossip.

• Non-Judgment: We come from different experiences and perspectives, and all feelings, choices, and experiences are valid. This is a space where everyone’s journey is respected.

• Active Listening: When someone is speaking, we listen attentively and without interruption, holding space for their words, emotions, and experiences.

• Speak from the Heart: Share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences honestly and authentically, using "I" statements (e.g., "I feel...") to express your own perspective.

• No Comparison: Each mom’s experience is unique. Avoid comparing or offering unsolicited advice unless asked, and instead, offer empathy and understanding.

• Support, Not Fixing: This is a space to offer support, not solutions. Sometimes just being heard is enough—let's hold space for each other’s emotions without trying to "fix" them.

• Respect for Silence: It's okay to take a pause or simply listen without feeling the need to speak. Silence is just as valuable as words in this space.

• Honor Your Needs (and your baby's): If at any point you need to step out, take a break, or check in with yourself or your baby, honor that need without explanation or guilt.

• Compassion and Empathy: Approach each other’s experiences with compassion and empathy, recognizing that motherhood is complex, and we all have our own challenges and triumphs.

We will build your village together and learn how to set boundaries with visitors.

Space is limited. $150 per couple. RSVP required.

So much shifts in pregnancy and in the months after. Your body, your hormones, and the way your mind holds worry all change, and it helps to understand what's happening before you find yourself in the middle of it.

In this workshop, we'll look at how pregnancy and birth can shape your experience of anxiety and depression, what those feelings can look like, and how common they really are. The goal is for the harder emotions to feel less isolating and more like something you can meet with support and tools in hand. Together, we'll move gently, sit with the fears and worries this season tends to stir up, turn toward your own strengths, and build a concrete plan for caring for your mental health before and after birth.

This is for anyone who is pregnant and preparing for postpartum, whether this is familiar territory or you simply want to walk in ready. Think of it as a warm hug for your mind as you get ready to become a parent.

Labor Strength: Breathing and Movement Workshop for Birth

This two-hour workshop is designed for expectant mothers preparing for a vaginal birth who want practical, body-based tools for labor. You’ll learn how to use breath, movement, and positioning to work with contractions, conserve energy, and support an effective pushing phase.

We’ll begin with gentle movement to build awareness of your breath, pelvic floor, and core, then layer in evidence-based labor positions and breathing techniques for each stage of labor. You’ll practice specific breathing patterns for early labor, active labor, and pushing, along with positions that help open the pelvis, encourage baby’s descent, and reduce tension and tearing.

What we’ll cover:

• Breathing techniques to stay calm, focused, and relaxed through contractions

• Labor positions that support progress, comfort, and optimal baby positioning

• Pushing strategies and positions that protect the pelvic floor

• How to use movement and breath together to manage intensity without medication

This workshop is ideal for those in their second or third trimester who want to feel confident, prepared, and empowered going into birth.

For the postpartum body ready to move again, with your baby worn close to your heart. This class blends Pilates-inspired movement with bodyweight strength and mobility work, with a focus on core recovery, pelvic floor health, posture, and breath.

Expect to:

• Reconnect with your core and pelvic floor after birth

• Rebuild posture and mobility your changed body actually needs

• Build the strength everyday parenting asks for: lifting, carrying, getting down to your baby and back up

• Bond with your baby, skin close, breath steady, while you come back to yourself

Babywearing is at the heart of this class. If your baby comes along, they'll stay worn in a carrier throughout, not on a mat beside you. You're welcome to come without your baby, too, and move just for yourself.

We recommend waiting at least 6 weeks after a vaginal birth or 8 weeks after a C-section. As always, please get clearance from your provider before beginning postpartum movement.

Postpartum doesn't end at six weeks. It doesn't end at six months either. Whether you're three months out or three years out, your core deserves the chance to come back online, with intention.

This is a four-week series, meant to be taken as a whole. Each Wednesday builds on the one before, so you start at the foundation and leave with a body that trusts itself again. You commit to the four weeks, and the four weeks give back. Because it moves in order and builds week to week, it lives on its own, separate from class packs and memberships.

Leading it is AYL teacher Alex Vaughn, a corrective exercise specialist with a deep background in pelvic floor health and core function. Alex meets you exactly where you are and rebuilds from the foundation up.

Babies are welcome, but not required. The coaching stays centered on you. Bring your baby along, step away to feed or comfort when you need to, then drop right back in

What we'll focus on

• pelvic floor awareness and core reconnection

• back and shoulder tension from holding and feeding

• core stability under load (less coning, less doming)

• safer mechanics when you lift and carry your baby

• a thoughtful return to harder exercise

Session 1: Core Reconnection — Wednesday, September 2nd @ 12 pm

We lay the foundation through:

• Diaphragmatic breathing, the gateway to your nervous system and the basis of all movement

• Pelvic floor awareness and reconnection

• Understanding how postpartum hormones and breastfeeding shape the body

• Daily habits and movement patterns that support core control

Alex is trained to provide diastasis recti assessments, and you're welcome to request one during this session.

Session 2: Putting It Into Practice — Wednesday, September 9th @ 12 pm

Breath and pelvic floor control woven into strengthening three key areas:

• abdominals: the deep core system

• back and posture: to meet the tension of nursing and holding

• glutes: your primary movers

Session 3: Let's Move — Wednesday, September 16th @ 12 pm

A whole-body class of floor and standing work, every movement chosen to build on the foundation you've restored.

Session 4: Let's Move + Social Hour — Wednesday, September 23rd @ 12 pm

We close the way recovery actually happens: movement, then community. Class first, then stick around for light refreshments and time in a room with women who get it

Pricing

$185 for the full four-week series. Because it's a standalone series, class packs, memberships, and the Fourth Trimester pass don't apply here.

Space is intentionally small, so Alex can give real, individual attention. We'd love to have you

This 90-minute workshop is designed for pregnant students in their second or third trimester who want to support their baby’s alignment for a smoother, more comfortable birth. Through intentional movement, breathwork, and education, you’ll explore ways to create space in the pelvis, release tension, and encourage optimal fetal positioning—especially in the final weeks leading up to labor. Led by Lindsey, the founder of Austin Yoga Lounge, certified prenatal yoga teacher, and birth doula, this class blends yoga, Spinning Babies-inspired techniques, and alignment-based practices to help you feel more connected to your body and your baby.

You’ll learn:

• Daily movement and rest habits that support fetal alignment

• Positions to embrace and avoid in late pregnancy

• Yoga poses to open the pelvis and release tension in the hips and ligaments

• Breath and relaxation techniques to support both body positioning and mental calm

• All levels welcome.

We’ll begin with gentle movement to build awareness of your breath, pelvic floor, and core, then layer in evidence-based labor positions and breathing techniques for each stage of labor. You’ll practice specific breathing patterns for early labor, active labor, and pushing, along with positions that help open the pelvis, encourage baby’s descent, and reduce tension and tearing.

What we’ll cover:

• Breathing techniques to stay calm, focused, and relaxed through contractions

• Labor positions that support progress, comfort, and optimal baby positioning

• Pushing strategies and positions that protect the pelvic floor

• How to use movement and breath together to manage intensity without medication

This workshop is ideal for those in their second or third trimester who want to feel confident, prepared, and empowered going into birth.

Nobody wants to picture the worst-case moment with their baby. But knowing exactly what to do, before you ever need it, is the kind of calm that lets you actually settle into those early days instead of bracing through them

This 2.5-hour workshop puts the skills in your hands: infant CPR, choking relief, safe sleep, and baby-proofing, taught by a certified instructor in a small group where you can ask anything. You'll practice the techniques yourself, not just watch them, so they're there when it counts

What you'll learn:

• Infant CPR & choking relief: step-by-step techniques for babies under one

• Home & sleep safety: safe sleep guidelines, baby-proofing, and preventing common accidents at home

• Emergency preparedness: when to call for help, and what to do in a fall or allergic reaction

• Hands-on practice & Q&A: real-time guidance and your questions answered in a supportive small group

For expecting parents, new parents, grandparents, and anyone who'll be caring for a baby. No prior CPR experience needed

One ticket covers you and your partner, ensuring a personalized learning experience with ample time for questions and hands-on practice. This class is designed to build confidence rather than certify—while it does not include official CPR/first aid certification, it focuses on real-world skills to help you respond effectively in emergencies.
