Labor and birth...wild, amazing, challenging, sublime--and usually over within a day or two. Postpartum? All the above (times about 50!) and lasting much, MUCH longer! Best way to prepare? Kimberly Bepler's ABC's of Natural Newborn Care class. She is our local rock star of all things new baby, and is teaching this incredibly informative, empowering class on April 28th at Pod + Kin. I promise, you will be SO happy you took this class, once you bring your sweet bundle into the world. ;-)

My sweet "baby" boy turned 10 today, and while I am still in quite a bit of denial over this one, that also means that I have ANOTHER 10 year-old "baby"--MotherWise! So, in honor of the two ten-year-olds that have gifted me in so many amazing ways over this past decade...here are the MotherWise YOGA specials for April!

1) Bring 10 friends--and your 10th class is FREE! (Ok, that one is totally a joke--but it was the first thing out of Rodrigo's mouth when I asked him for ideas for the specials, and it made me laugh.) ;-) Here are the REAL ones:

Mention this post, and...

**drop-in classes are only $10 (reg.$12) for the rest of the month.

**Purchase a 10-class package, and get 2 free classes added on.

**Receive $10 off your package of 20 classes all month.

See you Wednesday, and this weekend!

It's official, ladies! The warm, lovely and talented Claudia Gana Streng is joining MotherWise Yoga as co-teacher (and eventually, co-owner, when Camille has to move North in the fall.) We are DEEPLY delighted to have her, and her nurturing presence. In addition to being a wise and wonderful mama of two, Claudia also holds an MSW degree, and has the heart of a social worker. She's also one heck of a yogini! (Y'all might actually get to see some NEW poses, as well as the ones Camille usually does--but in a much better visual representation.) ;-) Additionally, I know many of you love the equally fabulous Julianna Vermeys, who has been teaching off and on with Camille for a couple years now. You will be happy to know she has her own wonderful prenatal class happening on Tuesday evenings at Sellwood Yoga. Go say 'Hi' and enjoy a juicy class with J--MotherWise will forgive you for "moonlighting" (as long as you keep coming to see us, too!) ;-) We are hoping you might be able to catch Julianna teaching some MotherWise classes, too, here in the future...And don't think for a second that you will be getting rid of Camille altogether, come the fall. I still plan on coming down each month, to teach a few classes, ogle some bellies and snuggle some babies!
