🌿Nurtured and Rooted: Postpartum Yoga for Parents & Babies
A co‑hosted offering by The Golden Thread Sanctuary & Jessica Palmquist
There is a tender window in the postpartum season — a time when the body is healing, the heart is stretching into its new shape, and the nervous system is learning to hold both the beauty and the overwhelm of early parenthood.
This series was created as a soft landing place within that transition.
Over six weeks, we invite you and your non‑walking baby into a warm, supportive space where movement, breath, and community weave together to offer nourishment for your whole being. This is not about “getting back” to anything. It is about gently returning to yourself.
Led by Birth & Postpartum Doula and certified yoga instructor Jessica Palmquist, this slow‑flow, beginner‑friendly class offers spacious, accessible practices designed specifically for postpartum bodies. Each session blends breath‑linked movement, mindful pauses, and opportunities to bond with your baby — all held within a community of fellow parents who understand the tenderness of this season.
You are welcome exactly as you are.
If you need to pause to nurse, soothe, rock, or change your baby, you are supported.
If your little one needs to wiggle, coo, or be held the entire class, that is welcomed too.
This is a space where nothing needs to be hidden or managed — where you can simply arrive as a whole human in a whole season of life.
Throughout the series, we’ll explore themes such as connection, gratitude, balance, flexibility, playfulness, letting go, and community — meeting you where you are each week, and honouring the truth that healing and well‑being are woven, not separate.
A baby‑friendly play mat, toys, and books will be available, along with a change‑table station for your convenience.
Please note: the studio is located on the second floor and requires stair access. Support is available if you need help carrying items upstairs.
We would be honoured to welcome you and your baby into this gentle, nurturing space of movement, connection, and care.✨
