🚨NEW Mommy & Me class

BARRE | BABIES WELCOME

👶 No babysitter required.

A postpartum-friendly barre class with your baby there with you.

We will start on your mat with babies out of their carriers and nearby.

This first part of class will focus on:

🫁 Breathing and pressure management
⭕️ Core and pelvic-floor connection
🍑 Glute strength
🧍‍♀️ Alignment and posture
💪 Full-body strength
⚖️ Balance and stability

After we will transition to standing barre exercises, with the option to place your baby in a secure carrier.

Expect lower body strength, upper body work with resistance bands, balance, and intentional movement that can be modified based on where you are in your postpartum recovery.

Your baby doesn’t need to stay in the carrier for the entire class. You’re always welcome to pause to feed, change, soothe, or care for your baby whenever needed.

🤍Led by a Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist.

📅 UPCOMING CLASSES

Monday, September 28 | 1:30 PM (Registration is open)  Tuesday, October 13 | 1:30 PM Monday, October 26 | 1:30 PM

One of the best parts of this past year of Babble Buddies was connecting with other local businesses and parent-focused organizations! 💗🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

Whether you’ve hosted a babble buddies class, networked with us, or have cheered us on during our first year, we’re so grateful for your support.

We know parents are always looking for more activities and support for their families, check out these awesome businesses!

Why does Evanston breed so many innovators? Maybe it starts with growing up around people who look and think differently and aren’t afraid to disagree with one another.

Everyone says it takes a village. No one tells you how to find one when you have little kids and need three weeks to schedule coffee.

This week, we’re joined by ParentConnect founders Emma Huntley and Meera Sinha, lifelong Evanstonians who grew up next door to each other and are now trying to recreate that same sense of community for today’s parents.

We talk about why parenting can feel so lonely, what’s changed since the 90s, mom guilt, AirTags, and bringing your children to restaurants that don’t have crayons.

New episode live now wherever you get your podcasts!
