Postnatal Yoga
We offer a 4 week rolling term of postnatal yoga to ease you back in after the birth of their baby and give you the chance to connect with likeminded mummas. You can commence 6 weeks after a vaginal birth or 8-10 weeks after a caesarean birth (following clearance from your GP/OB/Physio).
Your bubs are more than welcome to join you in these classes! Whether they sit/lie happily watching you whilst you move, sleep in their capsule or you can incorporate them into most of the poses which is a nice way to bond with bub whilst doing something for yourself.
Each class will be slightly different with a focus that relates to motherhood (opening tight shoulders from feeding, breath to get us through the stressful times etc.) At the beginning of every class there will be a quick discussion to find out how you're feeling, and if you have anything specific you'd like to focus on it can be worked into the class. Each week there will gentle work to help strengthen pelvic floor muscles and safe abdominal exercises to target weakened muscles.
As beneficial as the movement and stretches are, these classes are also a great opportunity to get out of the house and meet other new mums! We often spend many hours just with our babies as a new mum, and as much as we love them, connecting with community is a really important so there will always be time for a chat before and after class!
