Description:

Jackie Long will guide you in cultivating the twin principles of mindfulness & compassion as you interact with your baby, utilizing yoga as a vehicle for the practice.

In this busy, fast-paced world, it is too easy to spend time with your baby without being truly present. This yoga workshop will encourage you to relax into the present moment so you can realize the deep connection that is always there between you and your baby, however clouded it might sometimes be.

At the end of the yoga practice, celebrate your time together with creative movement & free-flow dancing to uplifting songs – including newly released original songs by Jackie Long such as “The Namaste Song”, “Joy, Love & Light” and “Open My Heart”. Make your relationship with your baby a priority this year, and come spend some precious time bonding with your baby more consciously!
