This is so brilliant to see! I did the training with Molly O'Brian back in 2022 and she has such a fab programme. Used it on at couple births here too, to much success. Yay Zoe 💖

First classes in the new space and they were great! So pleased to share this space with all you lovely mums and busy babies 🥰

First shot is the younger babies class where the little t***s mostly stay on the baby mats. Second shot is of the older babies class where we have a central toy area and a secure space too (aka the baby jail - sorry babies!)

There are two drop in spaces in both classes, bookable at www.orkneybumptobabysupport.com/book-online

Would be fab to join the fun!

I've been all about nutrition lately. Learning about how protein is so so good for us women as we age, about pre and probiotics and their importance in mental and physical health. And there no more important time to be focusing on nutrition than post-partum (okay okay, pregnancy is important too! But this bowl of goodness I would specifically recommend for post-partum mums looking to replenish their energy).

Featuring lots of cacao, my new love of this miricle substance thanks to the Orkney based Cacao Connection facilitator (1/2of .tribe.circle)

Two large scoops of Greek yogurt
Flaked almonds
Pumpkin seeds
Milled flax seeds
A tablespoon of raw cacao powder
A sprinkling of raw chopped cacao
Chia seeds
Cranberries or raisins (dried)
2 tbsp tahini
And a drizzle of Orkney foraged rosehip syrup

When I measured it out and stupidly forgot to write the amounts down, the blow packed around 35-40g of protein!

Nom.

Hope you all have a great Sunday!

Some exciting news! As much as I've loved teaching yoga at home and The St Magnus Centre, I'm so so excited to announce we'll be moving to a new space in Kirkwall this Autumn.

To get everything ready there I'll be finishing out my classes and blocks and taking a wee hiatus from teaching over the October Holidays.

This last classes of Mum and Baby Yoga will be this Friday.

We'll also finish out the block of Pregnancy Yoga this week, but we'll have 2 more drop-in sessions at the St Magnus Centre on the 30th of September and 7th of October.

Sometimes doula support means sitting on the phone with a loved one in labour many many miles away ❤️
