Find Your Flex Yoga

Join us for the new term of Pregnancy Yoga ✨️🙏

Connect to your baby whilst also taking care of your mind and body!

Our classes support the physical and emotional transitions of pregnancy and also prepare you for your upcoming birth. We can support you through all the physical changes and symptoms such as pelvic girdle pain and sciatica, but also prepare you for a positive and shorter labour with postures designed to create space, support optimal positioning, and help baby navigate through the pelvis. One step closer to meeting you!

Your time for you and baby. Your time to relax and restore. Your time to find community support.

Why Postnatal and Baby Yoga is good for you AND your baby! ✨️

Here are just a couple of reasons:

1. Helps you to develop a strong bond and communication with your baby! Through movement, eye contact, songs, and touch, this helps develop strong verbal and non-verbal communication and feedback between parent and baby. Creating mutual trust and confidence. Plus, it helps babies' language development! 🤍

2. Supports your postnatal recovery 🙏
Suitable for any delivery, this movement helps gently restore your body and alignment post delivery, particularly your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles! And a full body stretch can be just the tonic after a long night or lots of cuddling baby especially for that upper body!

3. Supports your baby's physical development in a healthy and fun way!
Baby yoga movements are gentle stretches that help the baby to understand their bodies, their range of movement, balance, and spacial awareness. The movement also supports the health brain development of both sides of their brains as they process the movements, sensations, and sounds in class. 🎊

4. Helps to regulate and soothe baby through common development phases such as digestive development and sleep!
Then movements help follow the natural digestive tract through gentle touch, massage, and movement, which can relieve the effects of things like colic, wind, and constipation. Yoga will also teach the baby how to relax with their parent, so you can use these calming skills before bedtime 🌙

5. Finding that postnatal social community! 🙏
Our classes are always a safe and welcoming place for new parents and babies to meet others, find support, a reassuring face, a social chat or just a place to unwind with other going through the same experiences without judgement. Socialising is fun for babies too and will promote their social and emotional development in group settings.

6. Find you find new ways to relax with your baby 🧘🏻‍♀️
Babies all respond differently to techniques so we offer various tools to add to your wellbeing kit in class such as during breathwork, moving relaxtion or stillness, songs and sounds to help you find moments of calm and connection.

The class includes movement for parent and baby, mindfulness and relaxation techniques, massage, sensory, and singing elements to encourage physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of your little one.

In our pregnancy yoga classes, we aim to empower and support you through this transformational time of your lives ✨️
So you can embrace the journey of pregnancy with open arms, knowing that each stretch, breath, and posture brings you one step closer to the miracle of birth. One step closer to meeting your baby 🤍

Your body is strong and doing such magical things throughout your pregnancy. And remember this when it comes to birth too, your body and mind was made to do this 🙏

COMMUNITY 🙏💞

In our classes we foster a community feel and encourage a supportive non-judemental environment. Always!

The journey of pregnancy, birth and parenthood can be wonderful and also challenging and sometimes isolating. The other mothers and parents you meet on your journey can become really lifelines in your time of need, your new social circle for your maternity leave, or just that welcoming and friendly face giving you reassurance each week that you aren't alone.

Whilst it isn't mandatory to socialise, I'll always try to facilitate community as it can mean so much in those tough times.

There's also some scientific benefits too - those with a support network of other new parents have a substantial decrease in postnatal depression or PTSD, an increase in security, belonging, self-assurance and happiness!

Your babies can also benefit with it supporting their social-emotional development 🙏

Here is our pregnancy yoga session last night at the start of the new term ✨️

Just look at that evening sun gleaming in through the window 🌅

Grateful Friday Feeling 🙏

As a new and small business, I really appreciate each and every one of you!

Behind social media is a person (me!) doing a happy dance everytime they get a new enquiry, a new or repeat booking, a share, comment, seeing your lovely faces at class, and lovely feedback! Nothing goes unnoticed!

Thankyou for joining me, and thankyou for your support 🙏

🌹 Motherhood 🌹

This week we celebrated Mothers day and showing yourself some loving kindness in whatever this means to you and whatever stage you may be at.

What is it to be a mother?
Many think you are only a mother when you have birthed your baby. I think your journey to becoming a mother starts long before this, and even before and without conception.

From the moment you think about having children, plan a pregnancy, the dream, the yearning, the journey of trying, navigating heartache and loss, taking vitamins, fertility treatment, considering adopting, surrogacy, loving children around you, those that parent others , the moment you find out your pregnant, the 9 months of pregnancy, physical changes, the symptoms (and let's be honest these aren't always enjoyable), managing constant emotional and hormonal changes, the nesting, talking about names, going to appointments, the preparation for birth, all the classes you attend, the books your read, the labour and finally meeting your baby for the first time. No matter what your completely unique journey looks like and through the complete spectrum of emotions..... You are a mother.

There is no manual or correct journey to motherhood. But once you become a mother your life is forever tranformed. And whilst you as a women existed and thrived long before this, you have entered a whole new way of life. The journey may not always be easy, so I encourage you to look how far you've come, look at what you've achieved, the love you give in all it's forms. And now show some of this love and gratitude to yourself, because you are amazing, and you deserve it! ❤️ xx
