Did you know that I’ve been a yoga teacher for over a decade? It’s true! I’m a 500HR certified yoga instructor trained in ashtanga & vinyasa yoga. I’m excited to bring in-person yoga classes to our community here in the Jericho - Essex - Westford - Underhill, Vermont area!
What to expect:
A strength-based yoga flow class with a combination of strong, challenging postures and relaxing, soothing poses. Sun salutations, standing postures, lunges, warriors, seated stretches, a long savasana, and the optional arm balances & inversions are common in class.
What’s different about my teaching style:
I teach a very traditional style of yoga in a very non-traditional way. There will be a hearty dose of laughter, silliness, connection, storytelling, and playfulness infused into every class.
Come join the fun! I would be so honored to have you. Have a question? Send them to me here.
Next Class: June 14th | 9:30-11:30am | Hosted with GROW Prenatal & Family Wellness Center (virtual class option!)| $75/couple
Cloth Diapering 101
Curious about cloth diapering, but feeling overwhelmed with questions like...
How do I fold them? How do I wash them? How many do we need? What types & styles are the best? How do you use them on-the-go? Can I use them at daycare?
The list could go on and on. Join GROW teacher & Mama Brandy Oswald-Byrne for our brand new comprehensive Cloth Diapering 101 class and get simple, straightforward answers to your cloth diaper questions so that you can get started with ease and confidence. This class is perfect for expecting parents who want to get set up to use cloth diapers from birth, as well as for parents of any child still in diapers who is looking to switch to cloth.
We’ll cover:
The best cloth diapering routine to prevent leaks.
The different cloth diaper types & styles, and how to choose ones that best fit your needs. We’ll have samples to touch, test & try!
How to wash your cloth diapers & covers.
How many diapers & covers you’ll need at various ages & stages.
How to use cloth diapers on-the-go, overnight, at daycare and more.
AND how to actually stick with cloth diapers for the long haul.
Brandy Oswald-Byrne is a GROW teacher, certified Fertility Awareness Educator, and owner of Sauvage Wellness. She is the mama to a sweet & spunky little boy and has been using cloth diapers almost exclusively since his birth in April 2023. She recalls feeling completely overwhelmed during pregnancy when she knew her family wanted to use cloth diapers but were drowning in questions about how to make it work. After spending countless hours researching to find answers, a lot of trial and error, and a small fortune to find the cloth diaper routine that worked best for her family, Brandy knew she wanted to make this information readily available and easy to access for families. And, that’s how Cloth Diapering 101 came to be! Brandy’s family has also practiced elimination communication, aka infant pottying, since birth in combination with cloth diapering and is excited to share that at 17 months her little one is entirely diaper free except for sleeping and long car rides!
eLIMINATION cOMMUNICATION
Next Class: June 21 | 9:30-11:30am | Hosted with GROW Prenatal & Family Wellness Center (Virtual class option!)| $75/couple
Did you know that babies can use the potty as soon as they’re born? Or that babies all around the world are out of diapers between 12 and 18 months? It’s true! With a practice known as elimination communication (EC), parents are able to learn how to read the signs and signals from their babies, even newborns, and help them use the potty instead of a diaper as their main toilet.
This class is perfect for expecting parents who want to set themselves up to EC soon after baby arrives, as well as parents of babies up to age two.
Join Brandy Oswald-Byrne to learn all about elimination communication and how to get started if it feels like a good fit for your family. Brandy is the mama to a sweet & spunky 17 month old boy and has been using elimination communication in combination with cloth diapering since his birth in April 2023. She’s happy to report that he is entirely diaper free except for long car rides and sleep!
We’ll cover:
The history and foundations of elimination communication.
Why EC is NOT potty training.
How to get started with a newborn, an infant, or an older baby.
Supplies you’ll need to practice EC.
How and when to use diapers as a backup and how to use EC “on the go.”
How to wrap up EC and ditch diapers early.
