Nourish and support your postnatal body
Are you ready to give your postnatal body some TLC?
You’d like to start exercising again but you’re unsure what will help and what should be avoided?
Join me to start dedicating some time to support your mental and physical wellbeing.
“After having Zara, I was keen to return to yoga. I occasionally managed to squeeze in a short sequence while she was asleep, however these opportunities were rare and frequently interrupted.
I would get frustrated when my yoga time was interrupted (not very yogic, I know!) Something had to change.
Setting aside an hour a week for my partner to spend quality time with our daughter while I practised was the best gift I gave myself in early motherhood. It enabled me to reconnect with my body as well as refresh my mind. I began to feel more myself, have more patience and enjoy my time with Zara even more.
It sometimes felt indulgent to give myself this time, but I am a true believer in self care and the belief that “you can’t pour from an empty cup.”
I recognise that it might not be possible or desirable to leave your baby, especially in those early weeks and months, and even when it is it can be hard to carve out space for regular practice.
This is why I offer two classes: Just for Mums and Bring Your Baby Yoga.
