What are Movement Classes?
Movement classes are designed to tap into and strengthen the innate movement that we are born with so we can rebuild movement patterns.
Intentional movement brings balance back and may reduce the risk of injury. Using intentional movement improves interoception, how the brain and the body communicate. This is important for homeostasis, or balance of the body’s systems. Studies show this to improve overall health while reducing stress and inflammatory responses.

Prenatal Pelvic Floor Birth Prep with Dr. Tess Peters
This empowering prenatal movement class is designed to help you build the foundations your body needs for a smoother, more confident pregnancy and birth.

Breath Core Floor Yoga
Come move with intention in this unique class that blends traditional yoga postures with functional breathwork, core, and pelvic floor rehab. We’ll slow things down (on purpose!) to explore how your breath connects to your strength and stability…because your core isn’t just about abs, and your pelvic floor deserves more than a passing thought.
You’ll learn how to activate and coordinate these deeper systems in a way that supports your whole body, whether you’re on your mat or moving through life. Expect longer-held poses, mindful movement, and a healthy dose of body nerd vibes as we dive into yoga with a FUN-ctional twist.
Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this class is your invitation to connect with your breath, feel stronger through your core, and engage with your pelvic floor in a way that actually makes sense.
Let’s breathe, move, and laugh a little while we’re at it.
Mamas in Motion with Lexi Keppy
Mamas in Motion is a functional, real-life movement program designed specifically for prenatal and postpartum women. Instead of isolating muscles, we focus on the full movement patterns you use every day—lifting, squatting, carrying, getting up and down from the floor, and more. These patterns matter, especially during pregnancy and postpartum, when posture, hormones, and core stability are constantly shifting.
Our approach looks at the whole body, not just one area. A joint or muscle may work perfectly on its own, but when you add in real-life tasks—lifting a car seat, pushing a stroller, carrying laundry upstairs—it can tell a different story. That’s why we evaluate posture, balance, breath, mobility, muscle coordination, and core function together. When one piece is off, it can impact everything else, leading to discomfort or feeling “not quite yourself.”
Every mama begins by learning proper breathing mechanics, core engagement, and pressure management—the essential foundation for safe, strong movement during pregnancy and postpartum. These skills help support your pelvic floor, reduce pain, and make everyday tasks feel easier and more confident.
From there, we build into the movements that matter most to you—whether that’s preparing for birth, supporting a healing postpartum body, improving strength, reducing aches and pains, or simply feeling more connected to your body again.
Throughout the program, we also weave in simple, practical nutrition support to help moms nourish their bodies during pregnancy, recovery, and the demands of daily motherhood.
