Becoming a parent is one of life’s most rewarding gifts. It’s also a roller coaster ride, full of ups and downs— sure to challenge you, while also expanding your heart more than you thought possible.

In a world where the distractions and the daily demands of parenting seem to be growing, it can be challenging to be fully present and offer ourselves and our children the patience and compassion we need.

But mindfulness can make the ride a little easier - leading to greater resilience, awareness, and compassion. Growing research also shows that mindful parenting leads to lower stress for parents and greater mental wellbeing for children.

Hear from class participants

  • "I truly enjoyed this prenatal series and am so grateful for Cecilia's guidance and her ability and passion for sharing her knowledge in this field of study, especially during a global pandemic. It was great to receive confidence and support from other pregnant yogis and women that have experienced pregnancy. This series provided a sense of grounding and support that is much needed for pregnant women during this time."

    -Molly C.

  • "I just took your mindful families class, and am so grateful to you for all the ideas and realizations I took away from it.  I feel like our home is transforming! I feel like I’m more able to understand my sons’ little minds and connect with them on a level I never was before. I feel less anxious, my kids are calmer, and our house is running a bit more smoothly than it was at the beginning of the school year.  I am looking forward to continuing to practice mindfulness, both for myself and to help my kiddos. Thank you for a wonderful and informative class!"

  • “I am so happy to have found this series for support during this pregnancy! I loved getting to know other new moms in the community as someone who has recently moved (back) to Columbus. Even as an experienced yogi, I appreciated the prenatal practice and used many of the adjustments and poses I learned throughout my pregnancy. The mindfulness and meditation aspect was certainly a highlight that I really needed during this time, too! I will absolutely recommend this class to any pregnant moms I know. It was so well done and a great well-rounded class. I wish I had this during my first pregnancy."
