2019 Brings New Classes and Growth for Full Circle Yoga KC

January 8, 2019 by Full Circle KC

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!! It’s going to be such an amazing year for all of you!

I’m feeling giddy like that first love as a teenager! The vision for Full Circle Yoga KC is becoming a reality with our new studio in midtown KC and I can’t wait for you all to feel the energy and see the beauty of the new space! 2019 brings new classes and growth to Full Circle Yoga KC. I have you all to thank for this amazing new growth and bringing the vision to light. I have witnessed strength and beauty in Mamas who came to the studio during pregnancy yoga and prepare for the mental and physical strength it takes to bring new life into the world. I’ve heard the most beautiful birth stories, each one powerful and time-honored. I’ve seen pure love and the tender touch of partners in Prenatal Partner yoga. Watching Mamas and babies connect during BYOB and Mamas find a tribe at Full Circle Yoga KC fills my heart with joy!

So with the new year comes awesome changes! Full Circle Yoga KC is in it to support Mamas-To-Be, Partners, Toddlers, Kids, and Adults in this awesome journey of life! You don’t want to miss what’s on our schedule and whats coming and I can’t wait to see you there!

Hatha Yoga is a class that emphasizes strengthening the physical body by focusing on body posture and breath control. In this friendly flow class we work to find balance with mind, body, and spirit. Benefits of hatha yoga include maintaining a healthy body, relaxing, improve flexibility, and build muscle strength and balance. This class is open to everyone! It’s a wonderful class for Mamas postpartum. Yoga isn’t about how one looks but how one feels with yoga.

EVERY body Yoga class is for all ages of women and men and all levels of yoga experience welcome. Ground yourself in this slow and refreshing practice of meditation, breath work, and asanas (poses) to support mind-body awareness. Yoga isn’t about how one looks but how one feels with yoga. This body positive yoga flow supports your yoga practice wherever you are. This is a wonderful class for all levels and postpartum Mamas wanting to return to their mat.

Power Vinyasa class moves from one pose to the next using sun salutations and postures that connect to one another. This class focuses on building strength within this flow, so this class is best for adults with some previous yoga experience. Each class includes flow, balance, strength, compression, twists, hip/heart openers, core work and a built-in peaceful rest at the end. This is a wonderful class for the postnatal mama who feels fully recovered and busy person looking to sweat and wind down from their day. This class is not recommended for prenatal mamas.

Mama and Little Movers class is for little movers up to the age of 18 months and their caregivers. This class is filled with songs, movement, and games for older babies and early-walking toddlers.

Big Kids through basic acro (kids using partners to create poses) kids will build TRUST, in themselves and their community. This class is for all levels of big kids ages 8-12 years old.

AIReal Yoga…… coming soon in January!!! Yoga in the air!!! AIReal yoga uses looped fabric that allows you to swivel, deepen your stretch, correct your alignment, and refine postures.

Postpartum Exercise

December 20, 2018 by Full Circle KC

The act of giving birth is no small feat! Nor is the first several months after your sweet little one arrives! Your life has changed completely as you know it!!! The fourth trimester is all about figuring out life with a little human and finding moments to sleep! For many Mamas one way of self care is finding time to get back into an exercise program. While the body is still doing a great deal of recovery postpartum, high impact and rigorous workouts should wait until your body has eased into exercise again. Getting the green light from your health care provider is recommended before beginning a postpartum exercise program.

One of the best ways to ease into the fourth trimester and beyond is yoga. Postpartum yoga can help you reconnect with your body and relax the mind as you journey through this stage of parenthood. While baby sleeps, a short yoga flow is a great way to re-energize and give back to yourself. Some benefits of postpartum yoga include:

reset the hips and joints back into place
support the hormonal changes by stimulating endorphins and cortisol levels
rebuild strength, stamina, and muscles endurance
release tension
connect with other Mamas who are on the same journey of motherhood

Full Circle Yoga KC offers yoga classes that help support postpartum Mamas through Mommy and Baby, Hatha and Vinyasa classes. Relax, reconnect, and create a tribe of other Mamas on the beautiful journey of motherhood. With our new location in KC, Equal Minded Cafe is a great place to grab a coffee while you continue your conversations and strengthen your relationship with other Mamas.

Yes, prenatal yoga supported me in my birthing journey

June 21, 2018 by Full Circle KC

I recently asked a group of Mamas who attended a BYOB class when they look back at their birthing journey what they found helpful from their Prenatal Yoga classes.

Subheading “YES, prenatal yoga supported me in my birthing journey!”

Each one of these Mamas had a different birthing experience. One Mama planned a home birth with a midwife, she had the baby at home, however the midwife did not arrive in time and she and her husband delivered the baby together, one Mama had a scheduled cesarean for medical reasons, one Mama went into labor natural and wanted an un-medicated birth, however to support relaxation asked for an epidural, another Mama planned to go into labor naturally prior to planned induction, however she required induction and cesarean. Each one of these women is one tough Mother!

They all agreed the breathing we practice in prenatal yoga was a huge tool they practiced during their labor. And, they have found that yoga breath continues to help them in motherhood. One Mama said because of her breathing during labor she was able to stay relaxed mentally, but felt herself getting physically tired, when she asked for an epidural her team was surprised because she appeared so calm. She now continues to use breath to help center herself when her baby is fussy so that she can release calming energy for him.

Another Mama said the breathing practiced in prenatal yoga helped her calm down and get under control when she felt herself spiraling.

One Mama said the breathing was key to working through each contraction. She also felt prenatal yoga helped her build endurance for the mountain climb of labor.

And another Mama said her mantra became I can do anything for 24 hours, I can do this for 1 minute. Mamas at Full Circle Yoga KC hear this in almost every class: “Typically, a contraction lasts about 1 minute, YOU can do anything for 1 minute. Typically, a first birth lasts about 24 hours, YOU can do anything for one day.” This particular Mama’s labor was longer than 24 hours, however she kept saying the Mantra to herself to keep her focused for the end journey of bring life into the world.

Each Mama has her own birthing journey, yet they all found the benefits to prenatal yoga. These Mamas have also created community through their pregnancy yoga and recently all got together for a play date to celebrate being tough Mama bears together!!!
