Being a mum.
Being a mum is an oxymoron.
Being a mum is awesome and terrifying.
-
It’s so connecting, knowing you will never be alone again, but so frustrating knowing you will never be alone again.
-
You will have unconditional love for ever and company for as long as they need you, but initially the path can feel lonely as you feel abandoned by your old life, relationship, friends, career.
-
This incredible overwhelming mix of emotions, all trying to process and make sense. It’s no wonder at all we can feel lost, feel down, even depressed, anxious.
-
Add to that lack of sleep, s*x, dancing, time to self and a body that you offer away for a while.
-
Plus rising emotions about our own childhoods, parents, mothers, buried and deep complexities that may still need healing.
-
Add to this joy, satisfaction, intense love
-
Crazy times.
-
I felt this all so intensely eventually I opened a company called ‘YogaBubs’ now called (ZenMuma) just to try and help some women who may feel the same as me, and to share with each other, laugh, cry, despair, be confused together and enjoy our time with our babies without the domesticity of the home life and house work, which can drive you crazy in itself after a while.
-
YogaBubs, and now ZenMuma, has always been about a space where women can feel held, not judged, and we can all accept our differences as mothers and bask in the beauty of that, as well as soak up the connecting feeling that we are all the same.
-
Mothers - you ARE amazing. Don’t judge yourself, don’t compare, we bring to mothering simply what we have, and what we can, and that IS good enough.
-
This week is maternity mental health week. Offer some love to someone you know with a new baby today, just check in, make sure they are ok, and remember to tell them they are doing a GREAT job.
-
And if it’s you who’s a new mum, remember to reassure yourself you are amazing, you are doing the best you can, right now, and that IS ‘enough’.

✨We are are SO happy to announce our new Yoga Alliance Accredited, 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training, accessible here in Norwich, and for flexibility, online for home learning. ✨
With us, you can now become a Certified Yoga Teacher or simply deepen your own yoga practise, with our year long study starting January 11th 2021.
This course will be taught by me, yogi senior Jackie Heffer-Cooke and yogi monk Swami Atma Gyanam Saraswati.
Swami Atma is one of my personal yoga mentors and gurus. I cannot tell you how honoured I am to be sharing teaching yoga, with him, and, with you.
Those of you who follow my posts know how important my practise is, not just as a great exercise, but as a daily way of living, coping, managing and enjoying my small and simple, but very precious, life. Through the last 6 months of change, at times chaos, and very real transformation, it has been there to hold me steady, to remind me of balance and focus, to bring me peace when I needed it most. I am more deeply in love with yoga than ever before.
I've had many wonderful yogis, teachers and trainers on my journey, but Swami Atma Gyanam Saraswati is the teacher who truly opened the door. Gently supported by me, let him help you open that door too.
I know this journey, I breathe it. I am in it, and on it, and together we can share it with you too.
A few details:
Starts Jan 11th for 11 months
Working to term times
£2200 this includes all modules, manuals, workshops, classes, certification and a complementary yoga retreat April 16th to 18th to examine asana adjustment, teaching methodology, and general group connection and practise together.
There is an option to pay instalments.
Commitment - Thursday evening 6.30 until 7.15 and Wednesday evening 7.30 until 9pm either in person or 'live' on zoom. This is for yoga lab, to examine all the asanas deeply, and the teaching of theory. You will then need to attend two lessons a week with Atma at various times to choose from through the week, either in person or 'live' on zoom.
There will also be two 4 hour workshops over the year.
You will also need to attend the residential yoga retreat.
There is an expectation for home practise and further reading.

This is the 'soft launch' of this course, we are hoping through our network it might just talk to the right people looking for us.
Please do get in touch today with myself, or Swami Atma for more details.

Through these times the journey within is the only real place to explore. We look forward to exploring the best, happiest, place of all, with you.

One for all the 11 years of YogaBubs / ZenMuma mums! At the end of every baby yoga class we sing ‘the rainbow song’ 🌈
Here is the matriarch of ZenMuma’s, my muma, and my beautiful daughter around 8 years ago, singing the song together.
I’ll miss you mum - but you are always with us. 🙏✨💛
