After the stress of the holidays and all the havoc it wreaked on everybody's schedule, it's time to learn to relax and help both the kids and yourself get back to a more normal schedule.
If you have ever had difficulties getting your baby to sleep on their own, or don't know quite what to do to at least get them to relax... this Mingle is for you! First, we will work with Michelle Sands from Ambaa Yoga in a session of fun and relaxation while learning the basics of Mom and Baby yoga. This gentle class will focus on breathing, core strength and fun, and finishing off with baby yoga and baby massage.
Then, we will be joined by Brigitte Langevin, the author of "Helping my child sleep – from infants to teenager" who will help you (and me too!) develop strategies to help your child sleep better! Who doesn't want that?!
Michelle Sands has been trained at what is now the American Yoga College of Arizona and the co-owner and founder of Ambaa Yoga studio in St-Henri, a community oriented yoga and pilates space.
Brigitte is a well recognized speaker and author, specializing in sleep issues for both children and adults. So come join us for a fun afternoon, and get an opportunity to meet and mingle with other cool mamas.

You desperately need to sleep so you will be rested and alert when your big moment comes, but here you are staring wide eyed at the bedroom ceiling. Your mind is agitated and your body won't relax. The harder you work at getting to sleep, the wider awake you are. You've already tried counting sheep, watching the late show, and making yourself a snack-all to no avail. In desperation you reach for a sleeping pill. testking 646-976 This is a common scenario in the United States, where approximately one third of all adults suffer from some type of sleep disorder. Insomnia, the most common type by far, is clinically defined as the inability to fall asleep after lying in bed for thirty minutes or the inability to sustain sleep for more than a few hours without waking. Practically speaking, however, insomnia can be defined as unrestful sleep. testking XK0-002 We've all experienced some form of insomnia at particularly stressful times in our lives. It's normal to have trouble sleeping at these times, and it usually passes after a night or two. Insomnia is a problem only when it becomes chronic. Although it is associated with certain physical illnesses-arthritis, heart failure, and chronic lung disease, for example-most experts agree that insomnia is a symptom, not an illness in itself. testking 70-553 So what is it a symptom of? There are two answers-the ancient and the modern. At first glance they seem completely different, but a closer look reveals some remarkable similarities.
