A grounded, supportive flow designed for pregnancy and the postpartum journey, this class brings strength and softness together so your body is guided with care. Each session weaves intentional movement, breathwork, and pelvic floor awareness to nurture you through every season of motherhood. Expecting mothers in any trimester with thoughtful modifications, postpartum mothers from early recovery through rebuilding, and any mom looking for a slower, deeply supportive practice are welcome. No yoga experience is required and you are encouraged to come exactly as you are. You can look forward to gentle, functional movement that supports a changing body, focused work for pelvic floor connection and core stability, and breath practices that help regulate the nervous system while preparing for labor. Instruction is tailored to your stage with clear guidance and hands-on support in a calm, community-centered setting. Pregnancy brings shifting ligaments, changing posture, and rapid adaptation. Without intention, this can contribute to discomfort and slower recovery. This class helps you build strength that supports both you and your baby, maintain stability as your body changes, reduce the risk of common pregnancy-related pain, prepare physically and mentally for labor, and recover more effectively postpartum. Movement is treated as a foundation for well-being. The class takes place at Lovelock Healing Arts. Bring a water bottle, with mats and props provided. Childcare is available with separate registration and is included for members. Every movement can be adapted so you can slow down, stabilize, or scale intensity with confidence. Please share your stage of pregnancy or postpartum recovery with the instructor, rest and modify as needed, and consult your healthcare provider if you are under medical care or have specific conditions.

Bless The Block: Back To School Edition brings the community together to help students start the new year with confidence.

Saturday features pool play on the sand, followed by a beach pub crawl with prize giveaways at each stop, including items like gift cards, league entries, future crawl spots, sponsor donations, and beach themed surprises. Sunday wraps up with tournament play and a shared focus on community impact. Two divisions are offered. Competitive teams contend for a cash purse that grows with sponsor support, while the unrated division plays for a prize package provided by local sponsors.
