Pregnancy Yoga in Liverpool Womens, nothing more special than a group of women practice together week after week.
Journeying through pregnancy together, sharing the ups and downs and re-aligning and dropping into peace and stillness each week❤️
My pregnancy yoga courses are much more than yoga classes, they are a journey. We go to a different place 😊😮‍💨😉
Each week we move, breathe, soften … and learn practices to deepen our connection to our bodies and our babies ❤️
We awaken, nurture and nourish the inner world 🙏🏼 we celebrate pregnancy and we come together in a safe, supportive space to ‘just be pregnant’!
Thanks to everyone for this piccie, love all the laughter.
Pregnancy can feel long but compared to motherhood it’s really, really short. In a world that doesn’t slow down for our Pregnancys my classes are a sanctuary for the sacredness of bringing new life, and because of that everything is welcome!

So happy to hold this little beauty in his first few weeks earth side.

‘When a baby elephant is born, the herd slows down to the pace of the baby elephant’ says South African midwife
There is an intercultural knowing that a new mama needs 40 days to land in her new life after giving birth❤️
Landing does not mean settled and sorted, its means simply returned from the altered state of labour and birth✨
Spiritually as well as physically, we ‘open up’ to give birth❤️
New mums are vulnerable in ways unseen to the eye✨
In those first 40 days its important a new baby is with the new mum❤️
Its important that a new mum receives love and care similar to a newborn baby🙏🏻
Soft voices❤️
Needs for warmth and food and hydration preempted 🥰
Gentle touch and feeding on demand❤️
Attachments are a new babies lifeline.
Attachment to the mother is everything.
We live in a world of disconnects and distractions.
Distractions that no other generation had to deal with.
We are the first generation of mothers with phones….
Our babies need our full attention.
Our babies need us to switch off from the external stimuli to tune into them.
Instead of rushing with a new baby into the mayhem of life, our babies need us, like a herd of elephants to slow down to their pace🐘🐘🐘
🥰
Everything changes, then changes again. ❤️
Big love to the mums to be in third trimester, big love to the ‘any minute’ now mums, big love to the newborn mamas on their journey of return from birth 🥰🙏🏼❤️

It was back in 2005 I got the train to London to spend the weekend training with Michel Odent on his Paramana Doula training course.
For 3 days I sat at his feet in a basement kitchen in London listening to him and the magical Lilliana talk about birth, being a doula and the basic needs of women in labour.
I wrote down every word he said.
Little did I know back then but his teachings would be the foundation for decades of birth keeping and teaching in my own fair city.
He was open, joyful, alive, curious and passionate about birth like no one I’d ever met before.
‘Women, they must be undisturbed’ he spoke these words in his thick French accent over and over and somehow they planted themselves in my cells.
Lilliana told us birth story after birth story, my eyes wide with joy and learning. She made us laugh and cry but what stayed with me was that she LOVED all she women. She loved birth. She loved what we do as women and her reverence for the process spilled out as joy. She giggled, she was mischievous, she was a-hoot and I loved her.
It was years later that I heard the phrase ‘oxytocin on legs’ and I thought of her.
I’ve been resting in the heat this afternoon after a ‘love filled, oxytocin rich’ couples workshop this morning.
I talked about Michel Odent and whenever I do, I’m grateful. There are thousands of us around the world who have taken his teachings, decades of work research, dedication and love and created different ways of spreading the word.
I’d like to tell that 30 year old, brand new mama who sat in the kitchen basement with Michel and all those other trainee doulas, and say ‘wait until you see what happens to everything in the notebook’ 🥰
Almost 20 years of working with couples in Liverpool, 20 years of ‘oxytocin and love filled’ room ❤️ thanks to everyone who came today ❤️
Thank you Michel Odent and all of those who keep sharing his message 💯
