DEFINE body & mind is hosting The DEFINE baby workshop and is the perfect opportunity for mom and baby to bond while mom “re-DEFINEs” her body (win-win fitness #goals). The class focuses on arms, legs, glutes, and abdominals for one of the most fun 60 minutes you will spend exercising. This workshop is especially designed for mamas with babies who love to be in a baby carrier! BYOB (Bring Your Own Baby)! The best bit? Sassy Mama readers will get 20% off all workshops!
