About
This focused class aims to restore function and freedom in the body
with gentle and appropriate movements drawn from yoga, functional fitness, pilates and dance. Yoga promotes stamina, strength and body awareness, and tones and strengthens the deep abdominal and pelvic floor muscles to repair the body after birth, which can be important in the prevention of numerous associated health complications.
We look in detail at expanding and rediscovering the breath, (which has been reduced in the late stages of pregnancy), retraining core engagement and relief from shoulder and back stiffness that often arrives with breastfeeding and carrying babies.
Yoga and movement can promote emotional healing after a difficult pregnancy or birth. It can aid relaxation and deep rest and for some, reduce anxiety and depression.

Community
I often find Mums form a supportive community in which they can find like minded women to share and laugh with. This community is about acceptance, inclusion and shared experiences, about support and honesty. It is as much about our collective and individual struggles as it is about our quests to accept and overcome them, and in meaningful ways - about the love we have for our babies, for each other, and the love we can show to ourselves.
Now more than ever is a time to reach out and lovingly connect with others, but also reach in and lovingly connect with ourselves.
Babies Welcome
Babies are welcome but not essential. The focus is on your wellbeing. For some Mums that means bringing baby, but if possible it means having some time to dedicate to yourself.
