Postnatal Yoga

I am currently taking a break from offering my group Postnatal Yoga Classes with Babies. This is in part because the needs of each person postpartum are so different and I am finding that one to one work is best suited to this. I do however believe in the space of community in postpartum yoga and I will be offering larger group sessions again but perhaps with a slightly different feel.

I will, instead, be offering postpartum care and restoration through a more therepeutic and tailored offering. I already offer many postpartum one to one sessions (you can bring your baby!) from my home but I’ve opened this up slightly to offer two-to-one sessions that you can share with a friend or book alone. Even if you are the only person to book the session will still continue. This is so that I can work wtih you more closely and that I can more deeply tend to your needs.

These sessions are offered on a sliding scale basis. This is to make deep, tailored, attuned postpartum care accessible and affordable to everyone. Payment plans are available and if you are unable to make the base pay please email me and we can find a rate that works.

These sessions are offered at a drop in rate of £20 per session or you can book 5 sessions at a sliding scale of £75-137.50. That works out at £15 per session to £27.50 per session (which half of a one to one rate £55). See below to see what rate may be most suitable for you to pay.

To figure out how much you may be able to afford or would like to pay please look at the milk bottle diagram on this page

Practicing yoga after your baby is born is a gentle and lovely way to come back to your body and come back to yourself after a highly transformative and changeable time.

• First and foremost I tend to your nervous system and emotional body in postnatal yoga. Through nervous system regulation, through meeting what is there emotionally, through rest, we can recover.

• I support recovery on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. We work with recovery for the core and pelvic floor with whole-person awareness.

• We feel into how posture, breath, stress and tension effect holding patterns across the body that may lead to symptoms in the pelvic floor and abdominal wall.

• We find joy in rest and movement and joy!! These sessions meet you where you are. For those that want movement, challenge, variety and joy in movement and yoga then this is is the thread we follow. Sometimes you may feel exhausted and in need of more cocooning, gentle and soft movement and deep rest.

• These sessions can be attended with or without your baby.
