Description
Confidence is a key ingredient to feeling strong through pregnancy, labor, and birth. In her noon classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, Hillary aims to help students become more aware of all that is going on with their bodies, so that they may build confidence as labor approaches to make well-informed decisions regarding their maternity care. Her gentle, yet challenging class, influenced mainly by Iyengar and vinyasa, will help women feel more comfortable during pregnancy by teaching them ways to alleviate aches and open their bodies in preparation for birth. Every class will include prenatal/ early parenting education, strength-building, stretching, meditation, and Sanskrit terminology, with soft “yoga” music in the background. Community building is an essential part of the class, as well. Beginners will feel comfortable in this class while experienced yogis will enjoy the practical application of traditional yoga to the prenatal experience.

New Law for Employers
FAMILIES FIRST CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE ACT (FFCRA)
The full text of the FFCRA can be found here.
The FFCRA is a new federal law that requires employers with fewer than 500 employees to provide two new paid leave benefits for eligible employees affected by the COVID-19 virus in 2020. This applies only to those employees (not already laid off) who are home sick. The leave requirements generally provide paid sick time or paid leave under certain circumstances (as described more fully in the notice poster, link #4, below). The FFCRA also provides tax credits that may help employers provide the paid leave benefits.
The FFCRA helps the U.S. combat workplace effects of COVID-19 by reimbursing American private employers that have fewer than 500 employees with tax credits for the cost of providing employees with paid leave, taken for specified reasons related to COVID-19. The law enables employers to keep workers (who are home sick with COVID-19 related illness and therefore unable to work, even remotely) on their payrolls, while at the same time ensuring that workers are not forced to choose between their paychecks and the public health measures needed to combat the virus. The Departmnt's Wage and Hour Division administers the paid leave portions of the FFCRA.
If an employer has fewer than 50 employees and providing the paid leave benefits would jeopardize the viability of the business as a going concern, the small business exemption may apply. Employers who believe they qualify for the exemption should document why the business meets the exemption criteria unless and until the Department of Labor issues additional guidance on claiming the exemption.
Effective April 1, 2020, employers are required to properly notify their employees of the new FFCRA leave benefits and implement the requirements.
