Mindful and Musical presents: Baby Bird At The Alluvion! 🐦💕
***FOR NEWBORNS - CRAWLERS***
Baby Bird is a sweet, interactive gathering of babies and their care-givers. It is a perfect time to engage with your new little one and to give and receive support from other grown-ups.
The music, baby massage, movement and sensory exploration are geared toward babies, but older siblings of all ages are welcome to engage in a morning of fun with their littlest sibling!
We will also have a Certified Lactation Consultant on hand to answer questions or offer support to any mamas who happen to be breastfeeding and could benefit!
What to Expect:
You can arrive 15 minutes ahead of time if you'd like to settle in, choose a yoga mat for your family, explore instruments and get to know other attendants.
At the start of class Ms. Miriam leads the way with a very brief welcome before diving in!
Songs, stories and themes with a strong emphasis on kindness, love, peace and honoring feelings will be shared!
Movement: Grown ups and kids can expect a light amount of exercise (jumping, hopping, stretching, basic kids' Yoga poses, dancing together, etc.), so dress for whatever level of movement you are comfortable doing! Chairs will also be available, if you prefer.
What to Bring: Water for you & your kiddo. Non-slip socks or clean indoor shoes for your little one to safely boogie-down in! If you think your child might like having a favorite stuffed animal or snack with them, please feel free to bring that too. (Yoga mats, instruments and Veggie Straw snacks will all be provided!)
The teacher:
Miriam Picó Younce. Creator of Mindful and Musical, Singer/Songwriter, Certified Yoga Teacher, Mindfulness Coach, former preschool teacher and nanny, proud mother of three children.
Please Note:
1. Absolutely ALL are welcome! People of all sizes, colors, ages, abilities, cultures, beliefs, identities and personal expressions are wholeheartedly welcome. ❤️
2. Breast-feeding and bottle feeding during class are fine!
3. Candid pictures and videos of the class are sometimes taken and shared on our Mindful and Musical social media page and website. ****If you would prefer that you and/or your kids be kept out of all photographs, I am very happy to respect your wishes!! Please let me know your preferences at the START of class.**** It is my deepest wish that everybody feels comfortable and happy at Mindful and Musical!
4. We teach respect by respecting. For example: If a child is feeling shy and does not want to join the others in dancing, playing, singing or interacting and would rather observe from the safety of their grown-ups' arms, that is OK!! When a child is ready, they will join, and until then, they have every right to take their time and will never ever be pressured. (In other words: we always treat children how we would want to be treated!)
5. No family will be turned away because of lack of funds. Please contact me (Ms. Miriam) at mindfulandmusical.com if you are in need of financial assistance to attend Mindful and Musical!
6. Drop-In's are BACK!!!!!!!!! 🎉 Sometimes you don't know if you can make it to class until the morning of. (I get it!!!!!) You are welcome to show up and pay cash at the door until we reach full capacity.
