Embrace partner-assisted yoga-based postures not only to support and ease sensations during contractions but also to foster a more harmonious and positive birth experience.
Dive into breathing techniques that not only alleviate intense birth sensations but also provide a source of calm and reassurance.
Explore acupressure points that can be utilized before, during, and after birth to facilitate an easier descent for the baby, alleviate intense sensations, and promote relaxation of both body and mind.
Develop deep listening and non-verbal communication skills, fostering a strong connection between you and your partner throughout the birthing journey.
Discover the benefits of essential oils, both for relaxation and overcoming birth challenges.
Gain insight into the rhythm and ritual of the birthing process.
Our inviting space awaits, but do hurry—seats are limited, and we can't wait to share this educational and empowering journey with you!
Baby-wearing Workout
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.
Baby City Limits | Baby Music & Development Class in Austin
Get ready to rock your baby's development! Designed for pre-crawling babies, this class pairs festival fun with evidence-based strategies to boost early speech, language, and communication. We'll light up the stage with an interactive lantern "Hello" tradition, rock out with an echo-microphone song to target early sounds, and spin through "Babies in the Crowd," a festival-themed take on "Wheels on the Bus" complete with movement to strengthen your baby's vocabulary.
Your little headliner will sharpen their focus with a custom high-contrast book made for the Austin heat, hunt for hidden egg shakers during sensory tummy time, and pop bubbles during our main-stage finale. Grab your VIP pass, bring your tiny rockstar, and discover how music, rhythm, and sensory play set the stage for lifelong communication!
Reserve Your VIP Pass — This class is for pre-crawling babies and space is limited to keep the vibe cozy and interactive!
*This event is an independent developmental class and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Austin City Limits, C3 Presents, or their affiliates.
Your Mental Health, Before and After Birth
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
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.

This class is ideal for newborns through pre crawling babies, typically up to six months. We recommend waiting six weeks after a vaginal birth or eight weeks after a Cesarean birth, and ask that you have provider clearance before joining. This class is for postpartum students only.

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.
Baby Massage & Bonding
Through mindful touch and the wisdom of Ayurveda, we’ll explore infant massage techniques that help soothe and regulate your baby's body, ease digestion, strengthen immunity, and encourage deeper, more restorative sleep. Beyond the physical benefits, massage nurtures a profound emotional bond — offering your baby a sense of security, comfort, and love that lays the foundation for lifelong well-being.
Please bring a small pillow, a towel, and a change of clothes for your baby. We’ll provide the massage oil for class.
Balancing Hormones After Baby
Postpartum planning often covers essentials like healing and baby care, but one critical topic is consistently overlooked: restoring hormonal balance after childbirth and beyond. Many women experience frustrating symptoms such as acne, intense PMS, fatigue, poor sleep, anxiety, and brain fog—not only in the early postpartum months but also when breastfeeding ends.
In this class, we’ll explore:
Common hormonal imbalances after childbirth and their root causes
Nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle strategies to support recovery
Tips for spotting signs of imbalance early and addressing them proactively
Perfect for those planning for postpartum, navigating current symptoms, or simply wanting to prioritize long-term wellness.

• Pelvic floor support muscles
You’ll learn simple, effective techniques you can continue at home to reduce pain, improve mobility, support core reconnection, and enhance overall healing.

Open to postpartum moms at any stage of recovery.

Rebuild From Within: A Postpartum Core Series
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

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.
Baby-wearing Workout
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.
CPR & Infant Safety Class for New & Expecting Parents
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.

Women's Circle for New Mothers
The Empress Circle
An evening of reflection, gentle movement, and meaningful connection
Join us for an evening inspired by the Empress archetype, a space to slow down and gently turn your care inward
Through guided meditation, journaling, and grounding practices, you'll be invited to reconnect with yourself and explore themes of nourishment, abundance, and self-compassion
Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum often ask us to give so much of ourselves. This circle is an opportunity to gently turn that care inward, to remember that receiving support and prioritizing your own well-being are just as important as caring for others. Together, we'll create space to reflect, restore, and reconnect with what truly nourishes you in this season
Gentle movement, guided meditation, and time for personal reflection and optional group sharing
A keepsake from Chaos Readings
As you arrive, you'll receive a personalized sealed letter created especially for you, opened at the close of our circle as a keepsake and source of guidance from the tarot
- Open to prenatal and postpartum mothers at any stage
- Gentle movement suitable for all levels
- Journaling prompts and pens provided (please bring a journal!)
- Includes a personalized tarot guidance letter from Chaos Readings
Come as you are, and leave feeling grounded, nourished, and reminded that you are worthy of the same care you give to others
Reserve Your Spot
Intimacy After Baby
Something shifts once children enter the picture. Your body, your hormones, your libido, your mental and emotional world, all of it can move in ways that feel disorienting, like you're getting to know yourself and your partner all over again
This is a space to say that out loud, together. Amy will guide you and your partner through rebuilding emotional closeness, creating real opportunities for connection, and meeting changing desire without pressure or shame. Not a workshop about fixing anything, but about finding your way back to each other
Together, we'll explore:
Emotional intimacy
Affection outside of the bedroom
Communication around desire
Understanding the nervous system after giving birth
Friday, September 18th @ 6:30 pm
Donation based, suggested $40 per couple
Come as you are, bring your person, and let's tend to the connection that started it all.
Returning to Work After Maternity Leave | Austin Postpartum Workshop
THIS SESSION WILL BE HELD VIA ZOOM Returning to work after having a baby is often far more complex than people expect. Even when things are “going well,” many parents find themselves navigating exhaustion, shifting priorities, and a new sense of responsibility that can feel difficult to hold alongside professional life.
The transition back to work is not simply logistical. It is physical, emotional, and deeply personal. Many parents are still recovering from pregnancy and birth, adjusting to disrupted sleep, and learning how to care for a baby while also showing up in demanding professional environments. At the same time, identity often shifts in unexpected ways. Who you were before parenthood may no longer feel fully aligned with who you are now.
This workshop offers practical, compassionate support for navigating this season without pretending it is easy. Together we will explore realistic strategies that support both wellbeing and sustainability during the first year of returning to work.
The session focuses on the areas that tend to matter most during this transition:
• Supporting physical energy and recovery during a season of interrupted sleep
• Understanding the mental and emotional shifts that come with new parenthood
• Creating simple systems that make daily life more manageable
Participants will leave with practical tools that can be applied immediately, including:
• A clearer understanding of how to support energy, sleep, and nourishment while balancing work and parenting
• Practical frameworks for navigating identity shifts, guilt, expectations, and boundaries as a working parent
• Simple ways to use support systems, workplace flexibility, and temporary solutions to reduce overwhelm
• Strategies for approaching the first year back at work with more sustainability and self-compassion
This workshop is designed for parents who are preparing to return to work, newly back from leave, or within the first year of navigating work and parenthood. Whether you are feeling confident, uncertain, or somewhere in between, this space offers thoughtful guidance and realistic tools for the transition.
Rebuild From Within: A Postpartum Core Series
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

Postpartum Myofascial Release Workshop
Your body has carried, birthed, and is now caring for a baby. This workshop is designed to help you release the physical tension that often lingers long after birth.
In this guided postpartum recovery session, we’ll use myofascial release techniques with therapy balls and supported positioning to gently target common areas of tightness including:
• Upper back and shoulders (from feeding and carrying)
• Hips and glutes

Nourishing the Mother: Ayurveda for the Postpartum Journey
The first 42 days after birth — often called the Sacred Window — are a profound and powerful time for healing, nourishment, and restoration. In many traditional cultures, this early postpartum period is honored as a golden opportunity to set the foundation for a mother’s long-term health, vitality, and emotional wellbeing.
We’re excited to invite you to a special 90-minute workshop where we’ll explore Ayurvedic postpartum care and how you can bring these time-honored practices into your own life or the lives of the families you support.
In this class, you'll learn how the postpartum period is marked by an increase in vata dosha (the energy of air and space) — and why grounding, warming, and deeply nurturing practices are essential to bring balance back to the system after birth.
We'll cover:
✨ Foundational principles of postpartum healing
✨ Herbal and dietary guidance to rebuild strength
✨ Body therapies like abhyanga (nourishing oil massage)
✨ Lifestyle practices to soothe the nervous system and promote recovery
You'll leave with practical, actionable tools you can start using right away — plus a collection of Ayurvedic recipes designed to support nourishment and healing after birth.
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda, often called the “Science of Life,” is an ancient holistic system of medicine that supports the wellbeing of body, mind, and spirit. It addresses the root causes of imbalance and offers tools to reconnect with our innate ability to heal.

And if you already have a carrier buried in your closet that you never quite got the hang of, bring it.
