Mindful Birthing Workshop

This workshop focuses on instructing expectant moms and their partners in breathing, relaxation, and visualization techniques to utilize through pregnancy, labor, and birth. Participants will understand the connection of breath and imagery to easing fear and pain during childbirth. The techniques assist in decreasing anxiety, staying grounded in present moment, and tapping in to one's instinctive self to experience a more embodied and mindful pregnancy, birth, and journey into motherhood. Also included will be useful "tips" on how to advocate for an empowered birth within a hospital setting.

A Message to our Summit HOME Family:

We are writing to share some bittersweet news with you about our Summit location. Unbeknownst to us, a large construction project next door has been in the works for quite some time and we only just found out that the project will not allow us to operate and run classes.

With the extremely short notice we’ve had, we've worked extensively to see if it was possible to change or work with the presented circumstances. We met with our landlords, the landlord on the project, as well as the involved construction company. It was agreed upon by all that due to the nature and noise of the construction and its proximity to our studio, it would make it very challenging to deliver our yoga classes for 4-6 months at the minimum and at the maximum for over a year. Furthermore, we weren't provided any solutions that would allow us to make the situation workable, even temporarily.

Additionally, we have had multiple conversations with the Zoning Officer, Director of Downtown, and Mayor of Downtown Summit. While all have been sympathetic, we're told there isn’t anything that can be done to salvage our studio at 463 Springfield Ave.

We are absolutely heartbroken by the circumstances and in having to inform you that our current Summit studio will close, starting on Monday, February 19th.

With that said, we believe that all hardship is an opportunity to grow and we are extremely excited for what is to come next. We are already working on creating a new space for you in Downtown Summit - bigger, and better than before. We are aiming to re-open in the next three months, and will keep you posted every step of the way.

Taking care of you and this community has always been, and will continue to be, the most important thing to us. That is why we designed the following options for our Summit-only members (those who take all or almost all of their classes at the Summit location) during the interim period when our studio closes and the new studio opens:

Thank you for all of your understanding and unconditional support. It’s because of you all that we are going to rebuild and come back better than ever. Please come see us before we close & come celebrate with us when we reopen.

Looking forward to all good things to come.

Love,
