A regular yoga practice during your pregnancy will increase your awareness of your mind, body and breath and you will become more conscious of your movements. By safely building strength and endurance, you will be better equipped to cope with the demands of your pregnancy, delivery and postpartum, following the birth of your baby.
Our classes will teach you poses and movements that stimulate your digestive organs, which have less space due to your growing baby. Yoga also helps improve circulation, which reduces swelling and inflammation, especially in your joints. By learning breathing techniques, you will see a reduction in anxiety levels and alleviate fatigue, improved sleep, which in turn leaves you feeling more energized.

Yoga for you AND your baby. Allow yourself to reconnect with your body following pregnancy and birth, with our wonderful postnatal exercise course. Moving through gentle vinyasa flows each week, focusing on rebuilding core strength, toning the body and stretching. Yoga is amazing for your pelvic floor and we ensure all exercises are carried out safely following the birth of your baby, whether you had a vaginal or abdominal birth.
We recommend starting yoga following on from baby massage. Having said that, baby massage is not essential. You can join our postnatal yoga classes from 8 weeks onwards, but around 3 months is a great engaging age for your baby, as well as a safe time for you to exercise again. You can continue for as long as you want to, however once your baby is on the move, yoga does become a little bit trickier as your baby will be hard to catch!

The perfect first class for you to attend with your new baby. You will learn gentle massage routines to enjoy with your baby. The classes will be filled with discussion time to provide you with the chance to ask any questions, as well as make friends. We have a self-weighing baby station, so you can weigh your baby, and I can sign post you to additional support if needed. Working as a paediatric nurse with years of experience, I know all about the common baby ailments, so I am primed with great tips and knowledge to share with you.
The 4th Trimester is an important time in your motherhood journey and a prime time to seek support and friendships. It can be a sensitive and emotional few weeks for many parents and I am really passionate about providing a safe space for open conversation, never any judgment, always inclusive and full of love. Daddy’s or Grandparents are more than welcome too…come along and join the fun.
