Daily infant massage is a great way to bond with your child. What's more, researchers are finding that massage may promote weight gain in low birth weight babies, better sleeping, relieve colic, and perhaps enhance an infant's immune system, motor skills, and intellectual development. Recommended age (6 weeks to 9 months) at time of class.

PRIVATE & SEMI-PRIVATES SESSIONS

Have Questions about your practice or just starting out? Not sure if you are doing things correctly? Take the guess work out and schedule a private or semi-private (you and a friend) session!

Practicing yoga can come with all sorts of questions and a need for modification. EveryBODY is different and every person is at a different place with learning and "practicing" yoga. Even the most experienced yogi is forever "practicing" and can benefit from adjustments and suggestions.

A private or semi-private can help to eliminate the questions and confusion. It can also help you to feel relaxed about getting started. Once you learn the foundation and what modifications may benefit you then you can begin to build your practice.

• Private 60 minutes:  $60

• Private 30 minutes:  $35

• Semi-private 60 minutes (2 people):  $50
