Eryka Andrex will be joining us to share her Belly Dance and Hula Hooping Skills! Eryka has taught mini-sessions of Belly Dancing at our Red Tent Events and we assure you, she makes it fun and easy--even if you are dancing in your third trimester.
Belly Dancing:
*Helps your baby get in optimal position for birth
*Tones your abdomen after-baby
*It is so much FUN!
*Gentle but effective exercise safe for pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, etc.
For more information on Eryka: Eryka.me or for info. on her current Belly Dance Class in Little Silver: http://www.readyforbirth.com/classes
Eryka will also be bringing hula hoops! I was never able to hula hoop with the lightweight toy hoops of my youth....Eryka makes her own hoops for her classes that are larger (proportioned for adults) and of varying weights. With the right hoop, I was able to learn how to keep it up by the end of my first session!
Fortunately, my children (9 & 4) also love to hoop, and the baby loves to watch--making it fun and doable for the whole family!
There will be hoops available for order or purchase.
*Please note: Hula Hooping is only postpartum/non-pregnancy exercise!
As always, our meetings are FREE and all women, babies and children are welcome. We hope you can join us and try 2 great forms of exercise.

Fertility Awareness Method, August 17, 2011
At our next meeting, we will learn about Fertility Signs and how to track them in order to conceive or avoid conception.
If you are interested in becoming pregnant, learn to read your body's cues and identify your peak 24 hours of fertility.
If you are interested in birth control, know that you only need to use barrier methods for approximately 30% of your monthly cycle. And, according to www.tcoyf.com, this technique (if used correctly) has a failure rate of approximately 2%. ("This is considered lower than any other barrier method, expect the condom--which is also 2%.")
This information is so helpful and empowering for women at all stages of life.

July 20th Mtg: Places of Birth
At our next meeting, we'll explore Places of Birth. In NJ, that means at home or in the hospital...How do you discover what is best place for you to give birth? Two of our Dar a Luz mamas made the bold decision to give birth at home, unassisted. Come hear about their experiences and share your birth experience.
As always, our meetings are FREE and all women, babies and children are welcome.

Next Meeting: Sexuality 6/15/11
Pregnancy & Parenthood effect our sexuality in unexpected ways. How do you maintain a healthy physical connection with your partner while juggling demands of round-the-clock baby care? Co-sleeping?
Hormones
Anatomical Changes
Fatigue
Emotional and Mental Transitions
can impact our sexuality...Not to mention episiotomies, c/s recoveries, etc.
We will also address sexual abuse. This issue not only effects how you relate to your partner, but can impact birth and breastfeeding.
As always, our meetings are free and open to all women and babies. (Use discretion if bringing a verbal child--given the subject matter.)

May 18th Mtg: Mommy Must-Haves
Our next meeting is Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Join us as we discuss:
Mommy Must-Haves:
What do you absolutely NEED during
*pregnancy
*postpartum
*breastfeeding
*for your baby into toddler years?
There is a booming industry targeting parents and trying to convince them that their lives will be incomplete and their child will be deprived if they don't get the $1,000+ stroller....But what is really essential? (And for those essentials, there are almost always a simpler and cheaper way to get it.)
Bring your favorite Mommy Must-Have to the meeting and share what you've found really helpful...And what you've found really useless.
