Mum & Baby Yoga Classes 

// 23rd April to 21st May 2025

About Mum & Baby Postnatal Yoga

Friendly and welcoming postnatal yoga especially for new mums. It's yoga for YOU, but baby comes along with you for some lovely time together breathing, moving and relaxing. The classes create a wonderful community atmosphere that provide emotional and physical support. They are friendly, fun and easy going classes taught in a safe and nurturing environment.

The main body of the class is created around gentle yoga stretches and postures that release those tense areas new mums have - tight and tense neck, shoulders and back especially. We also think about posture, and gently re-engage with your core and the pelvic floor to help strengthen these important areas. We end the class with a quiet relaxation time to nourish tired minds and bodies and allow you extra time to bond with your baby, and time for tea and chat with the other mums too.

Benefits of Postnatal Yoga:
~ Strengthens the back, abdominal and pelvic floor muscles
~ Releases tension in shoulders and neck muscles
~ Helps to improve posture
~ Decreases stress and promotes relaxation
~ Rejuvenates the mind and increases energy
~ Builds patience and inner-calm
~ Learn breathing techniques that can help you get you and baby to sleep
~ Brings fun and pleasure to both mum and baby

Open to women from 5 weeks postnatal, up until baby is around 10-12 months old (or when they are so crawly you can't do the yoga anymore!!). No previous yoga experience required.

We also dedicate some time at the start of the classes to chat with the group of mums, so you'll build an invaluable support network of local mothers for when your baby arrives. This is SO important and so valuable, I cannot begin to tell you. #findyourtribe
