Mum and baby classes are all about supporting you in the transition into motherhood, a time to work on re-stabilising your body and connecting with your baby. For mums we will pay a lot of attention to strengthening the pelvic floor and lower abdominal region, to help you feel centred and balanced post birth. We will encorporate breathing and mindfulness practices to assist in relaxation, positivity and resilience. Your baby is fully included in the class with special baby yoga gentle stretches that can bring many positive benefits such as to aid digestion and any gas pain, neuromuscular development, fussiness and anxiety.
The classes will be very relaxed and it's of paramount importance to me that you feel comfortable to do whatever you need to do to attend to your baby so I actively encourage you to feed, change, hold, rock your baby throughout the class whenever needed. There are baby changing facilities and a toilet. I provide yoga mats and if you could bring 2 blankets for your baby that would be great (one for them to lie on and one to create a cosy surround.)
I advise that you wait until after your 6 week check before you start coming along to class, 8/10 weeks if you've had a Caesarian. The classes are suitable for babies up until they start crawling.

I am a fully trained (200 hour) yoga teacher and am working towards my 500 hour qualification with Shiva Rea. I have trained in hatha yoga, Prana Flow yoga, prenatal yoga, postnatal (mum and baby) yoga and baby massage. I have had the honour of studying with amazing teachers and aim to bring to my classes a sense of welcoming, openness, warmth and compassion.
