Pregnancy Yoga Tuesdays 8:15 - 9:30 pm

The aim of my pregnancy yoga classes is to support and empower women through their pregnancy, labour, and the early days of motherhood. Pregnancy yoga supports the growing needs of the pregnant body during all three trimesters, creating a balance between the emotional, mental, and physical changes that pregnancy brings. Based on traditional yoga asanas (postures), breath-work, and meditation, everything taught is adapted to be safe for mother and baby. Postures focus on strengthening, aligning and relaxing specific areas of the body that experience extra tension during pregnancy - such as lower back, hips and pelvis; breathing techniques encourage a connection between the breath and mind, to help to bring focus not only during pregnancy but also for labour; and meditation allows time for stillness and reflection.

Small group classes allow for individual focus and attention. They are taught in a relaxed and open environment, where everyone is encouraged to share and learn from each other. No prior experience of yoga is required.

Postnatal Yoga Wednesdays 8:30 pm

During pregnancy and motherhood, our bodies, minds, and souls transform. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually, we are forever changed. This change is perfectly okay, even worth celebrating! My postnatal yoga classes help you reconnect with your body and self through guided breathwork, movement, and meditation, fostering self-discovery without judgment. Suitable at any postnatal stage, once cleared by your doctor (typically 6-10 weeks post-birth).
