What makes this series unique?
At Mother Earth Community Yoga, we strive to support each other through nourishing and meaningful connections.
Our themed practices offer an opportunity to dive deeper into embodied movement and circle sharing. As we begin to unwind our nervous systems through slow and empowering yoga, breathing, and meditation, we end up feeling grounded and ready to commune and share with authenticity and vulnerability - building a strong and resilient community!

Meet your guides:
Reilly Campbell - Radical Birthkeeper and Postpartum Doula
Reilly has served Motherbaby in many ways since she was a young girl, currently this looks like walking with women through their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She finds that centering the Mother and her intelligent, intuitive knowing creates the most optimal experiences during this precious time. Through her Women’s Circles, she discovered the magic that is created when women come together in sacred, intentional ways. Women need each other in all seasons, but especially through the powerful transition that is becoming a Mother (for the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd time)! She is honored to offer her gentle and calming presence as a space-holder for women as they see themselves reflected in each other and find comfort, confidence, and security through it.

Ariana Wakeman - Prenatal Yoga Instructor, Doula, and Psychotherapist
Ari has been teaching prenatal yoga since 2020. Movement and mindfulness were key pieces of connecting to baby and body for Ari during her pregnancies, but she felt a lack of a sense of community. Ari hopes to help knit this web of women transitioning into motherhood. She views birth, motherhood, and all that it encompasses to be one of the most powerful and beautiful experiences of a lifetime. She also believes that a woman's intuition is the most powerful truth. Ari brings warmth and a sense of curiosity to her movement practices.
