I'm re evaluating what I'm doing with my time off and my time at my day job and I'm considering opening a mommy baby center down the line because connecting with moms has been amazing for me, and my house just isn't big enough for lunches anymore. I'd like to use my dance background and do something fitness related, so I'm wondering what you classes any of you would consider taking regularly? I want to be allow people to bring along their baby, and for things like manicures, massage or spa down the line i would eventually offer childcare. Would you feel physically able to do an exercise class while baby wearing? Any other suggestions? Vote for as many as you like!

Man I would LOVE if my area has one of these places that focus on prenatal and postpartum exercising/pampering, and with the baby too!
-
I forgot to add baby massage, I just did
-
Mommy massage and book club
-
I said photography and mommy baby yoga. I wouldn't want to exercise while baby wearing.
-
The huge trend we've been seeing is a combo restaurant/playspace where you can eat while your kids play in a glass-walled playspace. Parents love it because they can get some peace and quiet, while kids love it because they can play!
-
J loves doing yoga videos with me - I'd love to take a class with him, if it was available!
-
@mrbee: That would be amazing!
-
i'm going to start a class in my area in the next few weeks so i'm going to bump this post and see if anyone else wants to vote in the poll!
-
These sound AWESOME!! I took a baby massage class and it was a lot of fun! I would love to do things like this more often.
-
@Mrs. Chipmunk: I'm in your area, let me know what you decide to do
-
this sounds so fun! good luck with your endeavors
I voted for prenatal yoga, mommy baby yoga/pilates, book club -
I wish this was in my area!

@mrbee: I love play cafés where there's an eating area for adults and a coffee bar with a secure play area.
I just love doing music/dance/songs with LO with different props. We go to a music program where it's 30 minute music and every month the songs change - like they have a steering wheel and it's songs about driving/cars/etc and another month it's all about colors and they have a ring with different colored ribbon. I love things like that. Then they have group snack with kids picnic style on blankets and then they have open play and bring out toys while the adults have coffee/snacks in the back where there are tables and chairs.
@Mrs.Someone: @Mrs. Chipmunk: I'm in the area too so keep me posted and we'd love to make some classes
-
I would love to try mommy baby yoga the most! I wish my area had something like that.
-
@sandy @MRS.SOMEONE - what classes did you vote for? my friend is going to do a mommy baby pilates class probably Fridays at 2 starting soon, and I was thinking of running a Cardio/Core class Wednesdays with the option of strollers or carriers
-
I would love a Mommy and Toddler Yoga class. I started my daughter on some simple videos and she LOVES it. Its great too because I can do it with her and she really loves it. Most of it is independent but there there is a "do with a friend" section. Each video has a theme (sun, jungle, beach, etc).

@mrs.someone @sandy
Mommy baby Pilates starts this Friday at 11am for four weeks at the Kirkland dance center if you're interested. Sign ups are here http://gg.eastlakecc.com/groups/2537
-
@Mrs. Chipmunk: OMG! I just realized you are in Seattle area. I am so excited for this. Kirkland is a little far for me, but I am excited to see what other classes/locations you develop.
-
@Mrs. Chipmunk: No baby yet, so this won't work for me. But I am attempting Prenatal Yoga tomorrow. Let me know if you try any other classes.
(And FYI, the paging works best if you use the Reply link. For some reason the ": " is important).

@Seattlemom: @sandy: @Mrs.Someone: I just thought to post about this here --- tomorrow I'm teaching a Baby-wearing jazz class at 8:45 for 30 minutes in Kirkland at the Kirkland Dance Center --- it's going to be a 6 week series with the exception of next Sunday. Let me know if you guys are interested in checking it out!
-
@Mrs. Chipmunk: sounds like fun! I can't commit for 6 Sundays, but if you ever do drop-ins, I'd be up for trying it
Though I think DS might be a little small for a jazz class right now (12w).
-
@Mrs.Someone: It's definitely drop in! You're welcome to come anytime over the next 7 weeks with the exception of November 9th when I'm working. Also - you're welcome to leave your little one at home with dad and enjoy a little time out to yourself since it's only a 30 minute class.
-
I would be super interested in babywearing exercise classes (obviously only low impact things that wouldn't shake baby around). I've been dying to try babywearing ballet.
-
@Mrs. Chipmunk: Bummer that I went back to work and can't come! I've taken classes at the KDC before and loved it.
-
@sunny: do you work sundays? i'm on for this sunday, i got the day off work
-
Is it bad that none of these sound interesting to me?
