Releasing the muscles attached to the tailbone is foundational in Supreme Release Yoga as well as special focus on the sacral muscles and psoas. Through targeting muscular tension in this way while cultivating a sense of relative safety we create conditions that allow us to be more available to let go for deep release, space for the mind to slow down, and nourish our whole being.

Our next Supreme Release Yoga 6-week series starts this Tuesday, October 28 7:15pm , in person or online recordings available for the week after the live class.

Gentle and deep, accessible and advanced - the nourishing practice of Supreme Release Yoga (SRY) is one that will be with me for the rest of my life.

Through spinal decompression and releasing tension throughout the pelvis, this practice can help relieve physical discomfort and cultivate an inner landscape that’s more available to letting go.

Our next 6-Week Series starts this Tuesday, Oct 28, 7:15-8:30pm. Gather with us in person or online via zoom. Recordings available for the week after the live class to practice at home ♥️

It is so heart warming to receive notes such as this from students 💞

{next Mom & Baby Postnatal Yoga starts Thursday, October 30 @ 1:15pm}

“We were 7 weeks postpartum when the spring session began - just starting to navigate the world together. There is just a special type of peace that I felt as a new Mom being in your class. The gentle and rejuvenating class was exactly what I needed and helped me get out of the house. Some days Arthur wanted to feed most of class and when he did I always felt so present and happy in the moment with my new babe, even with other babies cooing and crying, sometimes it felt like it was only me and Arthur in the room.

After summer with no yoga class we were so excited to get back, Arthur was now 6 months old and we had so much fun. Reflecting back to the spring, we were so new and gentle - I remember watching the moms with the older babies balancing them on their legs, I wasn’t comfortable doing that. So when we were doing it in class in the fall, I felt so much joy - seeing Arthur’s big smile and giggles that he hadn’t had in the spring. It was amazing to experience this class as a “brand new” Mom and again when we are now so comfortable as mother and son”.

Preparing for my opening chat for our first Fall Prenatal Yoga class tonight and felt compelled to share it here.

As someone who came to pregnancy after the struggles of infertility, I want you to know that it is ok if you are hesitant to celebrate. You can be excited AND also really scared at the same time. This is normal response. There’s no shame having fears or doubts ♥️

If you would like to gather with us for Fall Prenatal Yoga we start tonight, Mon, Oct 6, 6pm. Visit NicoleBlackwood.com/prenatalyoga (link in bio) to learn more.

Soft, supported, restful postures are an essential part of our Prenatal Yoga classes.

Pillows, cushions, and blankets help Mom feel held, supported, and cared for.

We can only let go into support. As we soften physical holding it is as if we are floating.

Completely bathed in an environment of love, nurturance, and nourishment.

Just as baby is in your womb.

Over our 10-Week Prenatal Yoga series, we gradually spend more and more time in softer postures to release tension and abide in rest.

Cultivating more trust for her innate wisdom for carrying, birthing, and mothering this brand new soul.

We start Monday, October 6, 6pm both in-studio (west end of St. John’s) or online via Zoom.

Everyone’s journey to parenthood is unique. Every pregnancy has its own story.

The journey brings with it so much joy but also challenges. We can be immensely excited while also holding uncertainty and fear.

It’s ok and normal to feel both. What’s important is that we acknowledge this and embrace support along the way to create space within to meet yourself with compassion and grace instead of judgement or shame.

Our precious girl was conceived through IVF after years of trying. Leaning on support was critical for me during this time.

Support through a safe circle of friends and others who were on a similar path that could be there without judgment. Support through practices and therapies to support my physical and mental wellbeing.

My yoga and stillness practices were such a big part of this.

To continue to show love to my body while it was building this little miracle.

To build resilience so I could navigate the uncertainty more grounded in myself.

To allow myself to feel joy even when it feel scary to do so.

I’m guiding another group of wonderful expectant mamas in our 10-Week Fall Parental Yoga session starting Monday, Oct 6, 6pm in the west end of St. John’s or online via Zoom. Recordings are available for a week agate then live class.
