MY YOGA CLASSES

I believe that yoga is for everyone. And that it can be particularly beneficial and enjoyable for women in the time of becoming mothers. Pregnancy and the time post birth is a time of a huge transformation physically and mentally. Yoga can support the woman during that beautiful transformation.

At my yoga classes I want to make sure the mamas are taken care of. Because happy mama means happy baby. Whether you’ve been regularly practicing yoga for years or want to start with yoga in pregnancy or postnatally there will be place for you in my classes. All you will need is your body, an open mind and curious spirit.

Pregnancy Yoga

Who is it for? For soon-to-be mamas from 2nd trimester onwards (after 12 weeks scan). If you have any issues connected to your pregnancy please let me know to adjust classes to suit you.

What to expect? Gentle yoga class including breathing exercises and relaxation. There will be postures to help create space for your growing belly, strengthen muscles needed for birth and early motherhood and postures that you will be able to use during labour.

Benefits: There are many so list just a few… creating physical space and comfort in your body, increasing lung capacity and stamina, releasing muscle tensions, time to relax and get to know other pregnant mums, preparation for birth.

Postnatal Yoga

Who is it for? New mamas from 6 weeks postnatal onwards (following 6 week check). There is no end date, you can start with postnatal classes even months after birth.

What to expect? Gentle yoga class adjusted to your birth experience (e.g. cesarean birth) and to your stage of recovery. The classes will be adjusted every week to support the recovery, growing strength and body returning towards the pre-pregnancy state.

Benefits: Postnatal yoga aims to help you recover from pregnancy, birth and day to day mothering. It’s also a great way to start recovering physically before moving to any other physical exercise.

Mum & baby yoga

Who is is for? New mamas from 6 weeks postnatal onwards (following 6 week check) and their lovely babies.

What to expect? Gentle postnatal class for the mum combined with gentle movement and play for baby. This yoga is fun as we sing song for babies and play with toys as we move around. It is absolutely fine if you’d need to take a break to feed your baby, change them or put them to sleep. You can always join back.

Benefits: Time to recover for mum, get a nice stretch and start building strength back. Time to bond with baby, play together and learn movements you can do together outside the class.

Vinyasa Yoga

Who is it for? Suitable for pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy if you have an established practice pre-pregnancy, postnatally after 12 weeks postpartum following at least 6 weeks of regular postnatal yoga practice. 

What to expect? My vinyasa yoga classes are gentle practice suitable for all levels including beginners. But expect to sweat a bit! The basis of vinyasa practice are sun salutations and additional yoga asana/positions with various benefits.

Benefits: To name a few… Building physical and mental strength, improving range of motions through increasing flexibility, improving breathing which can impact sleep quality, endurance and mental health. Your time to relax and focus.
