Movement for Two! Zumba(R) Class - 4Mama & Baby

Sept. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- Ditch the Workout Join the Party™.  Join Zumba® the dance fitness workout that has taken the nation by storm. The Zumba® program uses Latin music and dance to get participants moving. Taught in over 60,000 locations in 105 countries Zumba® uses an intermittent exercise format that combines Latin dance and fitness moves for cardiovascular health, toning and strength building. Don’t be deceived by the excitement level you’ll encounter in each class; every licensed Zumba® instructor has been trained in the art of putting the FUN back into fitness. Zumba® is great for new moms looking for a way to shed their pregnancy weight and meet other moms. Emotionally exercise is linked to reducing postpartum depression. Are you a breastfeeding mom? The great news is that by attending a Zumba® class - 4Mama and Baby you’re not separating breastfeeding and exercise, Baby and Mom get the benefits of both. Mom improves her overall fitness and Baby learns at an early age that exercise is fun and good for him. Baby couldn’t ask for a better role model. How does it work? During a Zumba® class - 4Mama and Baby your instructor takes the traditional Zumba® workout and blends it with postnatal fitness training to incorporate Mama exercising while wearing her Baby in a sling or carrier.  Is there an age limit for babies? Postpartum moms should wait for their 6 week medical clearance before beginning, which means babies will be 6 weeks or older.  Babies must be worn in a sling or carrier to participate so as long as you can safely wear your baby you can Ditch the Workout and Join the Party™.  What does each Zumba® class 4Mama and Baby include? Each class follows the authorized Zumba® format which includes a warm-up, cardio and cool-down. Licensed Zumba® instructor Tamara Wrenn will be hosting upcoming Zumba® classes - 4Mama and Baby at The Children’s School of Yoga.  A free demo class will take place on Monday, September 27th 12:30pm to 1:15pm. The Children’s School of Yoga is located at 2 Lake Street, 3rd fl., Monroe, NY 10950. To register call 914-595-2065 or visit
