Pregnancy Yoga…with a doula twist!
These personalised sessions are friendly, informal and supportive, your questions about pregnancy, birth and babies are very welcome. You don't need to have practiced yoga before.
During each session a theme can be set or we can simply practice some relaxing pregnancy specific yoga. Some theme's could be yoga for sleep, back pain, pelvic floor, active birthing, optimum foetal positioning, energy and lots more.
Sessions may include asana (positions), pranayama (breathing) and guided relaxation, but they will always be bespoke and individualised.
After the yoga we can have a chat about everything regarding your pregnancy, birth and journey into parenthood. It is a safe space for you to share any thoughts and fears.
As a birth and postnatal doula, a mum, an infant feeding peer supporter, a trauma practitioner, hypnobirthing facilitator, trainee counsellor and all round birth geek I would love to talk to you about these things.
I will provide the props to use during the session, including a yoga mat. Please just ensure that you are dressed comfortably, can move around freely and have access to some water.
TO BOOK PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL OR THE CONTACT FORM.

“I came to the session limping with sciatica pain, by the end of the hour I could walk properly and the sciatica stayed away!”
