You Yoga With Zara

24/10/2025

It’s always an absolute joy to hear the feedback of my students from the Beginners Yoga Course.

Shifts and changes happen for people at different times and in different ways.

Progress isn’t linear - it often involves setbacks and plateaus and is more of a meandering journey.

Yoga is a journey to the self.
It’s a personal exploration and transformation.
It involves a deep dive into one’s inner self, seeking answers and guidance from within rather than relying on external validation.

The beginners yoga course I offer helps you to discover and understand your physical, mental and emotional needs through movement, stillness and mindfulness.

Thanks for the wonderful review 🙏

I have a lovely new website 🥰

It incorporates Yoga and also my Doula work and Hypnoborthing courses.

Maybe take a look…
I love it so much! 💛

Both my You Yoga and Zen Mumma websites will direct you to my new “Wellness with Zara” website so no need to make any changes to what you’re doing.

It’s quite a simple set up, if you want yoga you click on the left and if you want anything pregnancy, labour or birth related, you click on the right.
It’s super self explanatory and I hope you love it as much as I do.

A kind loving gesture to yourself can make all the difference to how your feeling 💕

After this morning I will be offline in terms of emails and calls but will be back on Monday ☺️

😢

So saddened to hear news of the passing of Michel Odent, whose vision and writing reshaped the way we understand human birth.

Michel Odent reminded us that birth is not a medical procedure to be controlled, but a primal rythm to be respected. He advocated for home-like maternity units, warm water births, protecting the birthing woman's privacy and honouring her instincts, undisturbed contact between mother and newborn; he was among the first to discuss the importance of the microbiome, and question many of the practices that had (and have) become normalised in overmedicalised maternity systems globally.

Michel Odent's legacy lives on in every dimmed, quiet birthing room, and in every midwife his words and work inspired to join our profession.

Thank you, Michel, for your passion, vision and committment to women and newborns.
