CPR & Infant Safety Class for New & Expecting Parents
Aug
16

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.

Craft & Chat // Mother's Lounge: A Partnership with Jessica Peterson of Milk Stories

August Craft: Sun Catchers

Join us for Craft & Chat, a welcoming space for prenatal and postpartum moms to connect, learn, and create together! Led by Jessica Peterson, an infant and maternal health OT and Certified Lactation Counselor, each session offers community guidance on infant feeding and meaningful crafting. Come craft something special, find your village, and gain support as you embrace the journey of motherhood!

Space is limited so please RSVP to let us know you’re coming! Your donation helps cover the cost of craft supplies. We can’t wait to see you.

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.

Your Mental Health, Before and After Birth
Aug
22

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.

Baby-wearing Workout

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.

Rebuild From Within: A Postpartum Core Series
Sep
2

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

Yoga for Optimal Baby Positioning
Sep

Yoga for Optimal Baby Positioning

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.

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.

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.

Returning to Work After Maternity Leave | Austin Postpartum Workshop

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.

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

The Empress Circle

An evening of reflection, gentle movement, and meaningful connection

Saturday, September 19th

Austin Yoga Lounge
The Invitation

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

Together, we'll create space to reflect, restore, and reconnect with what truly nourishes you in this season

What the Evening Holds

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

Good to Know
  • 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

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.

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.

Craft & Chat // Mother's Lounge: A Partnership with Jessica Peterson of Milk Stories

September Craft: Coloring Sheets

Join us for Craft & Chat, a welcoming space for prenatal and postpartum moms to connect, learn, and create together! Led by Jessica Peterson, an infant and maternal health OT and Certified Lactation Counselor, each session offers community guidance on infant feeding and meaningful crafting. Come craft something special, find your village, and gain support as you embrace the journey of motherhood!

Space is limited so please RSVP to let us know you’re coming! Your donation helps cover the cost of craft supplies. We can’t wait to see you.

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.

Rebuild From Within: A Postpartum Core Series

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

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.

  • Dive into breathing techniques that not only alleviate intense birth sensations but also provide a source of calm and reassurance.

  • Discover the benefits of essential oils, both for relaxation and overcoming birth challenges.

Free Prenatal Yoga in the Park | Austin, TX

Free Prenatal Yoga in the Park | Austin, TX

We're gathering for a free outdoor prenatal practice under the Monkey Tree, a slow morning together for pregnant students who want to move on the grass and maybe stay for a swim afterward

This is a gentle, accessible practice designed for any trimester. Bring whatever modifications and pace your body is asking for, with no expectation to keep up with anyone, including yourself. The springs are right there if you want to dip in after class, and the Monkey Tree is one of those Austin landmarks worth visiting even when you're not pregnant, so we figured we'd combine the two

What to bring A yoga mat, water, and anything else that helps you feel comfortable on the lawn: a towel, sunscreen, a blanket for after

Good to know The class is free. If you want to swim, Barton Springs Pool charges admission after 8 am, so plan to enter the pool area after our practice if you're staying. Sign up below so we can send the exact meet-up location and any weather updates the day before

Why We're Doing This

Austin Yoga Lounge is a prenatal and postpartum yoga studio in central Austin. We teach yoga classes, host birth and breastfeeding workshops, and build community for women at every stage of motherhood. Our studio is small on purpose, our teachers specialize in prenatal and postpartum movement, and we have snacks, hair ties, and even electrolytes waiting for you when you walk through the door.

But some of the best moments happen outside the studio. Community events like this one exist because we believe the village matters just as much as the practice. Motherhood can feel isolating, especially in the early days, and sometimes all it takes is an hour in the park with other women who get it to remind you that you're not doing this alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need yoga experience? Not at all. This class is designed for all levels. If you can breathe, you can do this.

Is this safe for pregnancy? Lindsey is trained in prenatal yoga and will offer modifications throughout class. Let her know where you are in your pregnancy and she'll make sure you're supported.

What if it rains? We'll send a message to all registered attendees with weather updates. If it's raining, we'll reschedule for another date.

Is this really free? Yes. No catch. Just yoga in the park with good people.

About Austin Yoga Lounge

Austin Yoga Lounge is Austin's boutique yoga studio for pregnant and postpartum women. We offer prenatal yoga, postpartum recovery classes, baby and me yoga, birth preparation workshops, breastfeeding support, and community events for women at every stage of motherhood. Our studio is located in central Austin and all of our teachers specialize in prenatal and postpartum movement.

If you've been looking for prenatal yoga in Austin, postpartum yoga classes near you, or a supportive community of women who understand what this season of life actually feels like, we'd love to meet you.

Candlelit Restorative for Birth Preparation

Step into the soft glow of candlelight and let the outside world fade away. In this 90-minute sanctuary, you’ll be cradled by calming music, supported by plush props, and guided through gentle, opening stretches that invite your body to soften.

A place where you can slow down, listen inward, and honor the sacred transition into motherhood. Whether you’re seeking relief, rest, or simply a quiet space to breathe, this restorative journey invites you to be held—in body, mind, and spirit.

Yoga for Optimal Baby Positioning
Jul

Yoga for Optimal Baby Positioning

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.

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:

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 four-week series is led by AYL teacher Alex Vaughn, a corrective exercise specialist with expertise in pelvic floor health and core function. Alex meets you where you are and rebuilds from the foundation up.

Babies are welcome, but not required. The coaching is centered on you. If you bring your baby along, feel free to step away to feed or comfort, 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, July 8 @ 12 pm

Let's lay the foundation through:

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

  • Pelvic floor awareness and reconnection

  • Understanding the musculoskeletal effects of postpartum hormones and breastfeeding

  • 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, July 15th @ 12 pm

Diaphragmatic breathing and pelvic floor control woven into strengthening three key areas:

  • abdominals: the deep core system

  • back and posture: to combat nursing and baby-holding tension

  • glutes: your primary movers

Session 3: Let's Move Wednesday, July 22nd @ 12 pm

A whole-body class incorporating floor and standing work, with every movement intentionally chosen to build on your restored foundation.

Session 4: Let's Move + Social Hour Wednesday, July 29th @ 12 pm

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

Pricing

$180 for the full 4-session series

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

Women’s Circle with Rose Medicine

The rose has enchanted us for thousands of years, and there's a reason we keep returning to her. In this circle, we'll slow down enough to actually listen.

We'll sip rose infusion, move through a guided inner journey, and breathe together gently, tuning to something quieter underneath the noise. There will be space to share what comes up, if you'd like to.

This circle is open to every woman, wherever you are in life right now. Pregnant, postpartum, somewhere else entirely, you're welcome here.

A beautiful evening to reconnect with the plants, with yourself, and with the women in the room

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.

Free Prenatal Yoga in the Park | Austin, TX

Free Prenatal Yoga in the Park | Austin, TX

We're gathering for a free outdoor prenatal practice under the Monkey Tree, a slow morning together for pregnant students who want to move on the grass and maybe stay for a swim afterward

This is a gentle, accessible practice designed for any trimester. Bring whatever modifications and pace your body is asking for, with no expectation to keep up with anyone, including yourself. The springs are right there if you want to dip in after class, and the Monkey Tree is one of those Austin landmarks worth visiting even when you're not pregnant, so we figured we'd combine the two

What to bring A yoga mat, water, and anything else that helps you feel comfortable on the lawn: a towel, sunscreen, a blanket for after

Good to know The class is free. If you want to swim, Barton Springs Pool charges admission after 8 am, so plan to enter the pool area after our practice if you're staying. Sign up below so we can send the exact meet-up location and any weather updates the day before

Why We're Doing This

Austin Yoga Lounge is a prenatal and postpartum yoga studio in central Austin. We teach yoga classes, host birth and breastfeeding workshops, and build community for women at every stage of motherhood. Our studio is small on purpose, our teachers specialize in prenatal and postpartum movement, and we have snacks, hair ties, and even electrolytes waiting for you when you walk through the door.

But some of the best moments happen outside the studio. Community events like this one exist because we believe the village matters just as much as the practice. Motherhood can feel isolating, especially in the early days, and sometimes all it takes is an hour in the park with other women who get it to remind you that you're not doing this alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need yoga experience? Not at all. This class is designed for all levels. If you can breathe, you can do this.

Is this safe for pregnancy? Lindsey is trained in prenatal yoga and will offer modifications throughout class. Let her know where you are in your pregnancy and she'll make sure you're supported.

What if it rains? We'll send a message to all registered attendees with weather updates. If it's raining, we'll reschedule for another date.

Is this really free? Yes. No catch. Just yoga in the park with good people.

About Austin Yoga Lounge

Austin Yoga Lounge is Austin's boutique yoga studio for pregnant and postpartum women. We offer prenatal yoga, postpartum recovery classes, baby and me yoga, birth preparation workshops, breastfeeding support, and community events for women at every stage of motherhood. Our studio is located in central Austin and all of our teachers specialize in prenatal and postpartum movement.

If you've been looking for prenatal yoga in Austin, postpartum yoga classes near you, or a supportive community of women who understand what this season of life actually feels like, we'd love to meet you.

A gentle morning for mothers and their pre-crawling babies, led by speech-language pathologist Katrina

Date
Fri, June 19th
Time
10:30 am
For
Pre-crawling babies
· · ·

Your baby is studying your face right now, the way your mouth moves when you say their name, the way your eyes soften when you look at them

Come lean into that with us, in a room full of women doing the same thing you're doing

The Morning

What we'll do together

A Little Book

Katrina brings a short board-book-style story built around early sounds and the words your baby is quietly working toward. Black-and-white animal pages, for the way new eyes actually see

Songs & Serve-and-Return

Two simple songs you can bring home, one paired with an "I love you" tummy massage. Katrina will walk through serve-and-return, the quiet conversations babies are already having with us through sounds, faces, and little movements

A Tiny Ball Pit

A mini ball pit with toys hidden inside, plus age-appropriate pieces for exploring. We'll talk about why tummy time and floor play matter, and how the gross motor foundation your baby is building now is the same one speech will eventually rest on

Your Guide

Led by Katrina

Katrina Balangue, M.S., CCC-SLP
Speech-Language Pathologist · Founder, Tryumph Speech Therapy

ASHA-certified with 15 years of speech therapy practice, Katrina founded Tryumph Speech Therapy in Austin to bring play-based, client-centered care to little ones. She's especially at home with preverbal and sensory-seeking babies
