Pilates & Pacifiers

This is a special class for moms, dads and caregivers with children between 0 and toddler age (for walkers, we advise two parents / caregivers participate in class to make sure your child stays safe)

Class Description:
Welcome to Baby & Me bonding bliss, an energizing, nurturing, and joyful class designed for parents (moms, dads, or caregivers) and their little ones from newborn up to toddler age. You don't have to bring your baby, but there will be babies in the class. This unheated class offers a wonderful opportunity for you and your baby to bond as you work out in a supportive environment, whether your baby is just observing the world or starting to crawl. Join us and enjoy a special time with your baby, focusing on health, happiness, and community. This class is not just about physical activity but about creating lasting memories and strong bonds that support both you and your baby’s well-being.

Class Structure:
The session begins with a gentle warm-up, followed by a blend of Pilates and yoga to support postpartum strength and flexibility. Parents who are comfortable can wear their babies in carriers during light cardio and strengthening exercises. Afterward, babies are placed on mats while parents transition into a yoga flow and cooldown. Before and after class, there’s time to connect with other parents, share experiences, and build community.

Benefits:
• Strengthens the emotional and physical bond between you and your baby
• Supports your postpartum recovery and wellness
• Stimulates your baby’s physical and cognitive development
• Connects you with a community of other parents and caregivers

Additional Information:
• Please bring a baby carrier, a baby blanket, and any comfort items for your baby.
• The class is designed to be flexible to accommodate the needs of both the parent and the baby, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all.
• No previous experience is necessary, and all fitness levels are welcome.*

*Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any exercise program post pregnancy, including postnatal yoga & Pilates. Ensure you have medical clearance to engage in physical activity.

60-minute HIIT Pilates class for parents and caregivers - BYO Baby (babies are used as weights during class). In collaboration with Real Hot Yoga Williamsburg, Natalie will be leading this incredible workout and bonding experience - along with her costars from our flyer, Calliope & Claude!

This is the perfect way for parents to connect with their baby and other parents in the neighborhood. Following the event, families are welcome to stay and enjoy some delicious vegan food from an assortment of vendors, and beverages from Brooklyn Roots Collective at a discount. Keep the fun going with cornhole, other yard games, enjoy the football games of the day at BRC's multiple TVs (and projector when it's dark enough!), shop the vintage market, and vibe to music in the main hall or courtyard.

Please bring your own yoga mat to class. Class will take place outside in the courtyard, weather permitting; don't worry if there is rain, we'll just move the class inside!

We look forward to seeing you!
