Prenatal & Postnatal Classes and Workshops
Update: Please Read
MOST OF OUR CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS ARE HELD ONLINE, BUT WE ARE HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THE RETURN OF SOME IN PERSON CLASSES AT OUR TORONTO AND YORK REGION LOCATIONS.
If a class is NOT online it will be CLEARLY marked as such.
Our online classes are held virtually, but are live-taught (never pre-recorded!) and interactive, making them as close to the in-person experience as possible.
At West End Mamas in Toronto and Newmarket, we understand that time is precious. Our clients are looking for personalized, high-quality classes on all aspects of motherhood: from prenatal education, to fitness and yoga; from breastfeeding, to any number of mom and baby classes and parenting workshops. Our classes have been carefully curated to respond to the needs of our clients. Class sizes are small, reasonably-priced, and all of our classes and workshops are taught by highly trained instructors.
