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.

Expect a vigorous yet well-balanced Vinyasa flow (syncing breath with movement), complete in 50 minutes! Modifications will be offered to support beginners and advanced practitioners alike.

Starting May 27th, join Elizabeth for Postnatal Yoga on Tuesday evenings at 6:30pm in San Rafael!

Starting May 28th, join Hillary for Flow & Restore on Wednesdays in San Rafael!

Let’s welcome Christa Khatcherian to the Metta family as she takes over Vinyasa Flow on Wednesdays in San Rafael!

Led by Michelle Wing from IYK®, this class is designed for parents and kids to practice yoga together, creating lasting memories while fostering connection, flexibility, and strength. This class offers poses and activities for all ages, with plenty of opportunities for laughter and bonding.

Each session will also support a great cause, making your practice even more meaningful. Come stretch, play, and give back as a family!

Could your teen or pre-teen (geared for ages 10-14) benefit from exercise, flexibility, body awareness, and mindfulness?

Guided by Tiana, students will experience the amazing benefits of yoga for body, mind, and soul in a lighthearted environment. Classes will include breathing exercises, discussion of topics such as self-confidence and body positivity, yoga flow, mindfulness, and meditation.

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.
