Yoga in Brooklyn, Queens and New York City. Prenatal, Postnatal, Mommy & Baby, Senior and Family Yoga. Private or Group Classes. Shanti Baby!

	Shanti Vinyasa Yoga: Ashtanga or Power Yoga is all the buzz lately, but some of us just can't keep up the pace or don't want to. This class will give you the energy and intensity of a Vinyasa flow class without all the huffing and puffing. Adult class.
	Shanti Hatha Yoga: Yoga originated in India over 2,000 years ago and has been known to change lives. The word “yoga” translates as “union,” with the implication of union of body, mind and soul as well as one’s connection to the universe. Hatha yoga focuses on body alignment, breath and relaxation to attain this union. Get a great, holistic workout that will improve your overall health and well-being as well as flexibility, strength and concentration. Adult Class.
	Prenatal (Shanti Mama) Yoga: Prenatal yoga can improve your fitness during pregnancy and help you physically and mentally prepare yourself for labor and delivery as well as bring you closer to your child before he or she is born. You will learn stretching and relaxation techniques to relieve tension and yoga poses to prepare your body for the incredible journey of giving birth. The benefits are astounding whether you've done yoga before or this is your first experience with it.
	Mama (Da-da) & Shanti Baby Yoga: Is there any union more sacred than the one between a parent and child? This fun class incorporates yoga, breathing, singing, smiling, snuggling, laughing and cooing that leaves mom and baby feeling happy and peaceful. Not only do moms work on getting their bodies back in shape after the physical stresses of pregnancy, but moms and dads also learn techniques for helping their newborns to develop large and fine motor skills, help stimulate their minds and internal organs and overall bond with their new babies! And don't forget the social aspect of being with other new moms in your own neighborhood to share experiences, questions and the trials of motherhood. (newborns to crawling)
	Mama (Dada) & Shanti Toddler Yoga: This class is designed for the older baby who is walking and ready to explore the world. At this age, children might not want to sit on moms lap and share yoga. They are welcome to play with each other or do yoga side-by-side with everyone else. All the singing and stretching from the younger baby group will continue, but at the toddler's level (up to age 3).
	Parent & Preschooler Yoga: Because yoga influences the body, mind and spirit connection, it supports concentration, flexibility, coordination. In this age group, body awareness is a key element to helping these children and parents have fun while getting fit, learning about themselves and others. Yoga poses are playful and imagination celebrated. (ages 3-6)
