fers moms organized play groups and a moms’ night out. “We also have a community service mission. Participation is open to anyone in the community.” Breathing Space Yoga offers two postnatal classes each week – postnatal yoga and postnatal Pilates. Owner Jennifer Mueller explained, “Our postnatal fitness classes focus on strength- and flexibility-building exercises for moms to do alongside their newborn-to-pre-crawling infants. Once babies are mobile they can join our staff in the playroom during the Pilates class. Both yoga and Pilates make wonderful postpartum recovery exercises because of their focus on body awareness, core rehabilitation, and posture.” For parents interested in an activity to engage their little ones, Breathing Space also offers a blend of baby play and postnatal appropriate yoga in Baby & Me Yoga. A new Baby Yoga and Play series on the weekend is more focused on engaging with baby and is appropriate for both parents to attend. Al-
