Your body grew a whole person, and it’s still holding them every day. This Thanksgiving week, we’re taking a morning to say thank you.

Body Gratitude is a gentle baby and me yoga class at Austin Yoga Lounge, led by Monique. Your baby stays right beside you on the mat while you move through stretches for the shoulders, hips, and back that carry so much right now, with steady breath to slow things down. It’s a chance to notice what your body has done, what it’s still doing, and to meet it with a little kindness.

What to expect

This is a yoga class built around real life with a baby. Feed, change, rock, or snuggle whenever you need to. Babies are part of the practice here, cooing, napping, fussing, and all. No yoga experience needed, and every pose has an option, so you can take what feels good and leave the rest.

If you’re newly postpartum, check with your provider about when you’re ready to return to movement.

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.
