Michelle

Tell us about yourself?

My name is Michelle. I just turned 30 years old in August. I have a one year old daughter named Eliana. Becoming a mom has been the best experience of my life. I was born in Los Angeles, however I moved to Las Vegas when I was 4 years old. My family is from Mexico. My professional background is in Social Work. I help children in foster care find their forever family and work with families through the adoption process. 

When did you start taking classes with PYLV?

Eliana and I started taking baby yoga classes February 2024. 

What have you learned since taking classes with PYLV?

I learned how fun yoga can be! It’s such a great exercise and feels great on your body. I also love how fun it is seeing my baby interact with other babies during class. 

What is your favorite yoga pose?

I really like child’s pose because it feels great on my back. 

How has your practice impact your parenting?

It has helped me feel stronger overall both physically and mentally. Practice has showing me I am capable of doing new things which I always remind myself of when parenting. 

What would you tell a new parent considering taking prenatal or baby & me yoga classes?

I would say to go for it! Baby & me yoga is so much fun. All the babies have such a great time playing and exploring. It’s also such a welcoming environment.
