"The Climate of your heart and mind is where your child will live. If you celebrate, he will celebrate. Find laughter, joy and love. Be it. Immerse in whatever makes you happy. Dance, sing. Do whatever it takes. Your child will feel the joy in you. This is the greatest gift you can give."
I know first hand the physical and emotional changes that come during pregnancy and postpartum. Having trained many clients throughout multiple pregnancies and postpartum recovery I am passionate about supporting women during this journey.
My comprehensive training with Katy Appleton equipped me with the knowledge to teach transformational yogic practices that provide a nurturing and safe space to support woman at thier most intense period of change in their lives.
Pregnancy is the most natural process and I focus on providing my students with a balanced understanding of the psychological journey as well as the detailed physiology and anatomy process. This will enable you to guide yourself with your own awareness and intuition.
​
What You Can Expect
Whether you join my six week course in person or choose to practice with me privately my classes will be sequenced around a variety of themes / Muscle or body area. Each class will include teaching skills of breath, relaxation, birth preparation and asana all adapted to support prenatal / postnatal needs.
Our Asana practice will cover standing postures, balancing postures, hip openers, backbends, twists and inversions so that no body part is left untouched.
In Pre-natal yoga the emphasis will be a lot on release, relaxation and preparation for birth.
In Post-natal we will focus more on support, strength and coming back home to our bodies.
​
With my experience and blend of Personal Training and Reformer Pilates I am a firm believer in encompassing a strong and supple body to support your growing bump therefore my classes will be challenging in all the right places and relaxing and rejuvenating.
supporting your body to withstand all the aches and niggles that come hand in hand whilst looking after a little person!

I am forever in awe of the female body and have always been fascinated by pregnancy.
