I am a yoga teacher in Chicago and I love teaching my prenatal classes. I would love to expand my offerings and hold space for other new moms. Practicing yoga during pregnancy has many benefits. Yoga prepares the mind, body and spirit for the adventures of birth and new motherhood. Classes consist of basic standing poses, hip openers, relaxation and breathwork. No previous yoga experience is required.

This group was started so that women living in the Chicago Western suburbs (Elmhurst, Lombard, Oakbrook, etc) would have an avenue to meet new people, make new friends and also have a place to organize meetups, playgroups and outings. All women - singles, married (with or without kids) are welcome! This group is still very new but I hope that in time, it will grow into a vibrant community of good friends :)

Activities may include kids' outings, park days, recipe exchanges, and coffe …
