Online Mama Circles

With the shift in season we are excited to release our new online mama circles. Conversation and connection with other mamas while cozy and comfy at home. We have circles dedicated specifically for new mamas & babes, and circles specifically for expecting mamas.
We invite you, your beautiful belly or your sweet babe to join us in our new online circles. Enjoy movement, conversation and connection. 
Each online mamas circle starts with a 25 minute movement class suitable for any stage of pregnancy or postpartum with modifications offered. Following the movement class our online host will move mamas into virtual breakout rooms to converse and connect among other mamas with similar aged-babes or due dates.
Meet new mamas, connect with friends, ask each other questions, share stories, support each other, laugh and have fun.

A Love Note
​From Jamie Kalynuik, Founder of Yoga Mamas.

Dear Beautiful Mama,

You will get out of these circles what you put into them, and that means putting yourself out there. Not the easiest for everyone, especially online. Growth happens outside of our comfort zones and here is a place where you can grow your community.

You might have to be the first to say hi, be the first to ask a question :) But commit to being open. The other mama on the other side of the computer, on the other side of the city, who is feeling as nervous as you, will be so grateful for you.

We are all in this together. We all just want to hear that what we are going through, someone else is. We want to talk to others who are in the thick of it right now, or a little bit beyond, and who will inevitably tell us: mama, you have got this. mama, you are doing an amazing job.  mama - have you watched this show on Netflix it is hilarious... {because mamas talking is not just always about baby stuff} :)

I encourage you to join us. Give your body a stretch and your heart a bit of mama connection.

FAQs
What is your capacity?
Each circle will have a maximum of 6 people allowing for seamless online conversation.

How should I prepare my space at home for this online circle?
Comfort for you {and your baby} is key. Create space for yourself to move during the fitness class, have a yoga mat and water handy. If attending a postnatal circle place your baby where they are coziest to watch you during the class. After class make yourself a cup of tea, or whatever you want to sip on while chatting with other mamas. Keep on mothering on during the circles, changing babies, feeding babies, whatever you and your baby need. Technology wise - a computer or tablet are best rather than a phone. This will allow you to see the other mamas in a more clear and larger manner.

Are there topics? Is this being led or facilitated? 
The movement class is led live by a certified instructor. There will be questions / conversations starters shared after the movement class is over when mamas move into their breakout rooms to begin conversation.
