Register with regular class passes
Postnatal Yoga is an uplifting and grounded full-body practice that offers support for birthing parents as they navigate the healing journey after birth and beyond. Together we create a nurturing space to breathe with intention, rediscover strength, listen deeply to your body, and honor the transition into parenthood. Through mindful movement, we bring awareness to your core, pelvic floor, and body mechanics to help you move with ease and stability as you care for your little ones.
This class is a welcoming space for all—whether you’re weeks, months, or years postpartum, it’s designed to meet you right where you are. Students are invited to attend on their own or bring their pre-crawling babies along for the practice. Join us as we cultivate patience, compassion, and connection in a community of other mothers.
What is the difference between “Postnatal Yoga” and “Postnatal & Baby Yoga“?
Both classes offer a well-rounded and welcoming practice for finding ease and connection in your postnatal body. There is special emphasis on the postpartum body, including baby holding muscles as well as core and pelvic floor connection. “Postnatal & Baby Yoga” is offered twice weekly and includes extra time for babies to experience yoga through gentle movement and songs, fostering connection and brain development. “Postnatal Yoga” is offered monthly and does not incorporate baby yoga into the class experience.
Amelia Damplo, Yoga Instructor
Amelia is a perinatal yoga teacher, Ayurvedic postpartum doula, and mother of two.
Her first experience as a yoga student guided her to an inner stillness she had never felt before. It offered her the space to listen, receive each breath, and respond with intention. Still today, her practice guides her towards a deeper knowing of herself, and that continual discovery is what motivates her to keep yoga in her life and to share it through teaching.
Amelia completed her 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2015 through Yoga Vibe Los Angeles with a focus on vinyasa flow yoga. Her desire to nurture new parents through pregnancy and postpartum healing led her to become a certified Prenatal Yoga Teacher in 2016 through Silverlake Yoga. She began teaching three years before having her son, carrying with her a longing for her own motherhood experience. When it was her time, her yoga community held her as she became a mother.
Amelia’s prenatal and postnatal yoga classes hold supportive space for deep unfolding along the path of parenthood. Each of her practices addresses a theme to help navigate this new terrain while feeling held, seen, and heard. She invites students to be curious, find ease through effort, and always return to their breath. Together, they awaken strength with mindful movement and make room for restorative moments of stillness.
Amelia’s postpartum care is informed by Ayurveda, honoring the sacred window after birth with nourishing foods, grounding breathwork, and an attunement to each mother’s individual needs. She helps families create space for rest and provide practices to nurture the tender transition from birth into new parenthood.
When not on her yoga mat, Amelia can be found hiking with her son and daughter, baking nutritious treats, and learning how to garden!
