Postnatal Yoga

Wednesday 1.30pm-2.30pm, Shirley House, Psalter Lane

Wednesday 1.30pm-2.30pm @ Shirley House, Psalter Lane (Netheredge/Sharrow area - a really lovely space!). Shirley House, 31 Psalter Lane, S11 8YL

These classes incorporate simple breath-work and gentle movement to soften, strengthen, relax and enliven. They provide space to connect with your body, relieve some of the bodily stresses of motherhood and, perhaps, provide some humour and good company too. A great deal of emphasis is on nervous system restoration.

I always recommend booking in a 1-to-1 for postpartum recovery. This is so we work together on breathing (which can help with pelvic and core restoration) on engaging the core, on posture and how life is impacting your recovery. Each person and each pregnancy is so different - you’re so welcome in group classes but it is absolutely worthwhile spending time 1-to-1 to tailor what you need so that you can also get the most out of group classes. These sessions are usually available on Mondays and Fridays but other times may be available. Please email me: info@alexnewtonyoga.com to talk more!

ALL babies are welcome - from newborn babies to walking babies.

Practical things:

• On street parking is available for all venues and you can wheel prams into each space.

• If your baby cries it’s totally ok - please feel free to tend to them, and you, just as you would at home. These spaces can sometimes be surprisingly relaxing - even with a savasana at the end! And sometimes it’s pure chaos with noisy and grumpy babies. We are here for all of it and it’s all good. xxx

• Snacks and teas are provided

• Feel free to bring anything you want for you or your baby including prams, toys etc into the space.

• Feel free to arrive late or early, flustered, anxious, joyful, knackered! YOU are so welcome. x

Block of 4 £10 each
