This evening we wrapped up the last session of our Nurture & Thrive pregnancy yoga block - and it was a beautiful one. 🌿💛
Sometimes a class is beautifully planned from start to finish. And sometimes the best thing you can do is look around the room, listen to what the bodies in front of you actually need, and go from there.
Tonight was one of those evenings - breath work, restorative stretching, strength building, and sciatic nerve flossing to ease the aches and ailments of the ever-changing pregnant body.

This is what small community classes are all about. Personal, responsive, real.
You don’t just come for the yoga. You come for the company - people who truly understand what it feels like to be in your body right now. Friendships form, support grows, and somehow time on the mat makes the whole week feel more manageable.

Our next course begins on Monday 13th April — and there are just a few spaces left.

This week in pregnancy yoga we explored something so important — how to protect your energy.

We created a class built entirely around strength and self care, moving through poses that built stability and balance while honouring exactly how much energy each of us had to give. Nothing was forced. Everything was intentional.

We preserved what we had so we could finish feeling restored, not depleted.
Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is choose rest.
If this sounds like the kind of space you need right now, we would love to welcome you. New classes are starting soon — come and give us a try.

This evening in pregnancy yoga we addressed something so many pregnant people experience but don’t always talk about — exhaustion. 🌿

So many of our wonderful people came in tonight running on empty, and I am so glad they did.
We focused on:
🔸 Breathing techniques to draw fresh energy into the body and clear the fatigue
🔸 Energising movements to gently wake up the muscles and get circulation flowing
🔸 Deep relaxation to give the body and mind the full reset it’s been craving
Because tiredness in pregnancy is real, it is valid — and there are things you can do to support yourself through it. Tonight was proof of that.
Every person left with a little more colour in their cheeks and a whole lot more calm in their body. That is the magic of this practice. 💛
If you’re pregnant and exhausted and wondering if yoga is even worth the effort of leaving the sofa — it is. I promise you, it is.
My next Nurture & Thrive Pregnancy Yoga course is coming up and I would love to have you there. This is not your average pregnancy yoga class — it’s education, empowerment, community, and movement all in one.

This evening in pregnancy yoga we are getting real about what pregnancy does to your body — and what YOU can do about it.
💪🌿
In tonight’s Nurture & Thrive class we’re covering:
🔸 Why your gluteus maximus, hamstrings & abdominals become weakened and over-stretched
🔸 How your ligaments loosen throughout your whole body — and why your joints need extra care
🔸 How your posture shifts forward, adding strain to your lower back & upper back
🔸 How your pelvic floor is carrying more load than ever before
Knowing this is POWER. Because when you understand what’s changing and why — you can support it.
Tonight’s class is a full-body flow to strengthen what pregnancy weakens, release what it tightens, and build the deep body awareness that supports you in birth AND in recovery.
Every single pose tonight has a postnatal purpose too. You’re not just practising yoga — you’re investing in your fourth trimester.
🙌

My 10 year old son said, “I am a feminist and I come from a feminist family!” I couldn’t believe it and I asked him who did he hear say this? He told me his brain. 🧠

Proud moments 💛

To all of the women out there, life as a female is tough, we are always judged on the word enough.
Are we kind enough
Are we strong enough
Are we intelligent enough
Are we beautiful enough
Are we educated enough
Are we achieving enough
Are we parenting enough…..

We can only do so much and doing our very best is absolutely enough.

I see women working with amazing careers, racing from the board room to a pregnancy class to a home, I see women raising children alone, night feeds, work, food shop, dr’s appointments. I see women cleaning church halls, school corridors and serving other people’s children at lunch time.
I see women taking their children to every last wholesome activity to try to achieve more for their children. I see grandmothers worrying about their children still as adults, caring for their grandchildren and still trying to be enough. 💐

Today, celebrate your enoughness 😂

Well done and thank you to all of the women!

🤗 Why Pregnancy Yoga Actually Matters 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Growing a human is demanding. Your body is out here doing the most while you’re navigating a whole new reality.

Pregnancy yoga? It’s not what you think.

The Many Benefits:

- That back pain? We’re addressing it
- Sleep issues? Breathing techniques help (no promises, but it helps)
- You’re literally preparing your body for labour—think of it as training, but calmer
- Reduces swelling, improves balance when you can’t see past your bump
- Builds strength to support the changing body

Mindful benefits:

- Space to breathe without everyone asking how you’re feeling
- Techniques that work for labour (and honestly, life after)
- Actual moments of calm before the beautiful chaos begins
- Time to connect with what’s happening—both in your body and your head

But Here’s What Really Makes It Worth It: The People

You know what’s better than child’s pose at 7 months pregnant? Doing it next to someone else who’s 7 months pregnant and also has the same struggles as you

This class is where:

- Everyone’s in the same boat (or similar)
- You meet people who actually get it—the weird symptoms, the excitement, all of it
- Conversations happen: good purchases, which pillow actually works, real birth stories
- You build your tribe before you desperately need them with a screaming newborn
- Nobody’s trying to be perfect, which is honestly refreshing

These connections? They matter. These become your people—for advice, for venting, for playdates, cake and coffee

First-timer? Cool. Been doing yoga for years? Also cool. Can’t touch your toes anymore? Join the club

All levels • Every trimester • Modifications for everything • Zero pressure

Always a pleasure to share wellbeing in my local primary school.

Children’s Mental Health Week. 💛

Last week I was invited into a primary school in my local community to deliver some wellbeing for children.

We focused on how to regulate our emotions, mindful movement, singing and dance! 🪩

My playlist consisted of grounding sounds I use in Reiki, creating a calming setting followed by some Bob Marley, ‘Three little birds,’ ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams and the good old Toy Story song, you’ve got a friend in me.

Four sessions with around 20 mixed age children in each group.

I ended the day exhausted with a very full heart. ❤️

It is always a privilege to share breathing exercises and fun with children and is so fulfilling when you see them taking it all in.

Back in my 20/30’s I did lots of these classes…dreaming one day I might have a family, a busy family home and people to care for.

Funny to be back in this space having accomplished.

A busy morning of children fighting over where PE shoes are, toaster left out and an afternoon of batch cooking ready for the rest of the week! Real life feelings ❤️💪🏽🥰😂
