Pregnancy &
Post-Natal
I offer pregnancy yoga for Mums-to-be and post-natal yoga for new Mums with postures and breathing that are designed to enable you to relax and unwind as well as strengthen and tone. The element of water is an incredibly important symbol in pregnancy, as it is a time that requires the body to be fluid without resisting or struggling, carrying you downstream on your journey with ease.
The class is designed to create a space where you can slow down and truly connect to yourself, your body and your baby. I guide each class with ease, intention and the highest regard for you as a mother. Yoga is an incredible preparation for labour in encouraging the baby into the optimal position for the birth; certain poses help this in opening up the hips and getting the body into a more primal space. Yoga also helps purify the body like water does, cleansing out elements that have accumulated internally and need to be filtered out.
The golden thread of breath is invaluable throughout pregnancy and is carried through to the birth, so our classes integrate a deep connection with breathwork. During pregnancy there is a reduced lung capacity, making it even more important to learn deep diaphragmatic breathing techniques. I am passionate about the power of breath in maintaining a state of calm connection to body and baby.
Whether you are an experienced yogi or have never set foot on a mat, these classes are the perfect preparation for the labour and motherhood. My classes are also designed to support women through infertility, miscarriage and infant loss.
