Second Trimester - Flow and Strengthen - Pregnancy

For when you're feeling a little more energised in your pregnancy. This practice gives safe alteratives to a regular 'Vinyasa' style class so that you can modify for your body today. We start off slowly, connecting with yourself and your baby and then engaging our breath and saying hello to the pelvic floor. We then move calmly and mindfully to both strengthen the core and legs but also to open up into tightness.

Strong & Supple - Pregnancy

A lovely practice for when you’re having one of those days where you’re feeling a little more energetic in your 3rd trimester. This practice both finds space in the body (enjoy spine, quad + hip flexor, side body and groin openings), but also strength in the core and the legs by gently ‘hugging baby in’ to engage rectus abdominus, and using the quads and thighs to support you. Expect lots of supported and modified versions of classic asanas for your lovely pregnant body to still enjoy. End with some juicy forward folds and a well deserved rest.

Nourish - Post Natal

We start on our backs taking an important moment to honour the importance of rest (and enjoy lying on your back again!) and to connect with our breath. Then take gentle movements to create mobility in all those tight spots (hips, hamstrings, chest, back and side body) that motherhood can bring whilst being mindful of where your body is at in its recovery. Finishing with a lovely little self massage and sitting in stillness to reflect.

Letting go of expectations - Post Natal

We start on our backs connecing with our breath. Physically we're taking gentle movements to create mobility in all those tight spots (hips, hamstrings, chest, back and lats) that motherhood can bring, and working on a little core engagament. Finishing with a little self massage. Philosophically we touch on the 5th yama of patanjalis 8 limbed path - ‘Aparigraha’. Don’t be put off by the terminology, it loosely translates as ‘non attachment’ or ‘non grasping’ and the invitation during this 30 minute practice is to recognise any preconceptions, expectations or attachments you might have and instead just be here in the present moment - knowing that that is often enough.

A slow and calm start, we’ll take a moment to connect with your body and your baby/babies and then come into our pranayama (breath) practice ‘Golden thread breath’ to calm down the nervous system. We’ll then move the body in a way that will be safe for, and not exacerbate the PGP you are experiencing. Finishing up with a well deserved extra long, supported Shavasana.
