Love Story Larkspur
Baby + Me Circle with Natural Resources
This five-week series has been crafted for parents of little ones in the first year of life.
Parenthood is a winding journey full of beautiful surprises and sudden turns as our babies grow and develop more quickly in their first year than during any other period of their life. While each new phase, stage, and progression brings new ways to engage, bond, and support our babies, parents often find themselves longing to connect with others experiencing the whirlwind of their infant’s life.
Throughout the course of this series, you will connect with other parents through meaningful discussions, move your body outdoors, and explore your own transformation as a parent to your baby.
Parents will be carefully guided by new parent Lauren Miller Brown to bring to light the similarities, challenges, and joys of parenting new babies.
- Session 1 and 5 will meet at Love Story Yoga for the entire session.
- Session 2, 3, & 4 will incorporate an outdoor walk for the last thirty minutes of each session pending weather. The group will walk from Love Story Yoga across a pedestrian bridge to a flat bike path that winds along the Corte Madera Channel. The group will walk to Remillard Park, pause, stretch, and return to Love Story Yoga. This walk will total one mile.
- Parents and babies (not yet crawling) are welcome in this group.
