The transformative time of early motherhood can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming and leave us with more questions than answers. There is so much to navigate during the perinatal year and sometimes we do not know where to turn to for resources to help us navigate all these new experiences.

Join us at Metta Mama starting in January for a free perinatal education series where we will cover topics ranging from hormonal health, to sleep, to pelvic floor health. Learn how to navigate your new normal from experienced practitioners that will help guide you to feel more confident in your body, in your mind, in your relationship, and in your new job caring for your precious little one.

Perimenopause and menopause bring a series of complex, often overlooked changes that can deeply affect both mental and physical well-being. As hormones fluctuate, so too can mood, energy, sleep, cognition, and overall wellness. But with the right support and understanding, this phase can also be a time of reconnection and empowerment.

Join us for an insightful panel where we will explore  the full spectrum of changes during this journey and how a holistic, integrative approach can help restore equilibrium.

Join Jane Austin (Perinatal Teacher and Trainer for 30+ Years and Founder of Mama Tree) to learn the essential information needed to practice and/or teach yoga at this powerful and transformative time.

This 3-hour workshop goes beyond the dos and don’ts, we will cover the whys with a deep dive into the anatomy and physiology of the pregnant body. You will learn modifications and variations of postures so that you can better practice and/or serve your pregnant students. There is a lot of misinformation about what is appropriate at this time. We will debunk some of the myths. This workshop will include lecture, discussion and a short practice. It will be fun, informative and maybe mind blowing. The only prerequisite is that you come with a curious and open mind.
