Thank you so much for the review 🥰 Bringing my classes to Rayleigh was totally out of my comfort zone- I don’t know the area well or knew of any local pregnancy businesses to connect with. I’m lucky to have had such lovely mums find me and come along to classes! ❤️

My aquanatal yoga classes offer a peaceful pause for both body and mind. Supported by warm water, gentle movement and mindful breathing help release tension, calm anxiety, and create a sense of emotional balance. It’s a nurturing space to slow down, feel supported, and connect with yourself and your baby.

Pregnancy backache? You’re not alone 💙

As your bump grows, your posture shifts and your back works overtime. That’s where a focus on the spine within my aquanatal yoga classes can make a real difference.

✨ The buoyancy of the water supports your bump and spine, taking pressure off your lower back
✨ Gentle movements strengthen the muscles that support your back
✨ Warm water helps ease tension and stiffness
✨ You stay active without the strain of land-based exercise

Many mums-to-be find they leave class feeling lighter, looser, and more comfortable, both in body and mind.

If backache is slowing you down, join the waiting list to feel the difference for yourself 💦

Thank you so much for the review! 💛

Gosh! Who else gets anxious about attending a class on their own? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Me too! I’ve always struggled with social anxiety, so I completely understand how daunting that first step can feel. That’s exactly why I try my absolute best to make every class feel welcoming, friendly, and inclusive.

Once you’ve taken that first class, you’ll soon find yourself feeling comfortable, supported, and right at home ❤️

Have you worries or doubts about joining class? Pop me a message to chat!

First classes back for 2026 in Maldon ✨

So lovely to welcome returning mums and meet new mums-to-be ❤️ We focused on pelvic floor health - why elasticity is key as opposed to over toning.

Contact me now to be placed on the waiting list- I have ladies due soon to give birth 🥰 👶🏼

PGP (pelvic girdle pain) is common in pregnancy and can make everyday movement uncomfortable, sometimes even painful ⚡️. My classes use gentle and supported movements within the water 🌊 to help reduce pressure on the pelvis, improve mobility, and ease tension. The buoyancy of the water supports your body, while strengthening key muscles and encouraging relaxation 🧘‍♀️, helping you move with more comfort and confidence throughout pregnancy ✨.

Enough said!

Sleep can be hard to find during pregnancy at times. Not to mention the burden of trying to roll over onto your other side, feeling like you’re made of lead!

I’m not saying my classes will cure this problem 100%.. but they can definitely help in finding a better nights slumber, especially after class as so many of my ladies have attested to.

Classes can help alleviate aches and pains and calm the mind meaning having that better night’s sleep is within grasp 💤

Message me to chat about how my classes can help you 🤰🏼

If you’re due to have a baby in 2026, this is something you’ll want to consider 🤍

During my pregnancies, being in water was the only place I truly felt comfortable, especially with my second. Whether it was the bath or the pool, the weightlessness took the pressure off my pelvis and gave me precious moments to close my eyes, breathe, and just be.

In the pool, I could move freely without discomfort, stretching, floating, and swimming in ways that supported both my body and my mind.

I’m now taking bookings for my Aquanatal Yoga classes, starting this January ✨

Maldon, Essex- starting 7th January (6 weeks)
• 6:30pm - fully booked
• 7:40pm - 3 spaces left

Rayleigh, Essex- starting 8th January (6 weeks)
• 8:00pm - 1 space left

If water brought you comfort during pregnancy or you’re curious to experience that support, I’d love to hear from you 💧🤍

How did Lotus Aqua start?

Hi, my name is Hayley and I am the owner of Lotus Aqua.

Following over 13 years within the insurance industry, I was given the opportunity to revisit my dream of teaching swimming. Upon completing my STA Level 1 Swimming Teacher qualification, I was blessed with the news that I was expecting my son. This quickly gave me the drive to complete my STA Parent & Baby Swimming Teacher qualification, before my son arrived.

After the birth of my son, I was unfortunately made redundant whilst enjoying my maternity leave and found myself at a cross road in my life. I had to think hard about what career path I wanted to take, which also allowed me to enjoy watching my son grow up. I absolutely loved being pregnant and something in my head kept nagging me that this was the direction I needed to go, but I also LOVED teaching swimming. So, in 2018 whilst my son was 1 year old, I studied hard and completed my full STA Level 2 Swimming Teacher qualification and my Water Fitness Ante & Postnatal Exercise Qualification.

In November 2018 I launched my very first aquanatal class in Marks Tey and since then have expanded to 5 classes a week in Marks Tey, Maldon and Chelmsford, delivering classes to over 50 mums-to-be a week! It's been challenging but highly rewarding and I have met some lovely ladies along the way.
