Studio support
New moms and babies have a ton on their plate and we are here to support you both. Our reception area is available to store car seats and bags. This space is also available to change or nurse baby any time during your studio visit.
Please leave diapers in the designated trash bin. It takes a little extra time to set up for two; please arrive studio 10-15 minutes before class to get settled. No need to stress about parking or accessibility, we have unlimited free parking directly in front of the studio.
Fussy days happen (for all of us). Don't fret if you and baby need to take a break from class to nurse, get changed or re-group - you can leave class anytime and jump back in when you’re ready.
