My breastfed kiddos will eat most things but love garlic and spice having been fed it since the womb and in all those milky feeds! 😜What do your babies love that you eat?

05/02/2026

As in our classes, we invite slowness against our busy worlds and our babies invite us to slow down in milky gazes contact naps and cuddles to soak up the now. This is the stuff mamas 🥰

Today we shared our breast/bottle/combi feeding experiences and tips - yes, that's "tips" - keeping it real convos, learned techniques to draw the transverse abs back to the centre line and return the pelvic floor to functionality, while stretching out mama aches, throwing in some baby singing, yoga and massage and some restorative practice to support that mama fatigue.
Fancy joining us?
Mondays 10-11.15, Abertillery. New classes coming soon...

I love this. I feel this. I am this.
In our classes we hold space for all the real and all the feels. We aren't trying to squeeze ourselves into our pre-preggo jeans, hiding our breastfeeds, our exhaustion or our joy. Here we speak our truth. We are safe. We are connected. Here we can be unabashedly ourselves in all our glory. We reclaim the village of support that not all women are lucky enough to get.
Pregnancy yoga and birth prep Mondays 6.30-7.45

Where all your stuff is welcome. Come, just as you are. 😘

I honestly feel a lot of empathy for the generation of women who became mothers before us. Not just boomers, but the moms right before and around that time too.

You were raised in an era where breastfeeding was treated like something inappropriate or embarrassing. Something to hide. Formula was marketed as modern, advanced, and even superior. You were told that tending too closely to your baby would create bad habits. That schedules mattered more than instincts. That crying built character. That comfort created weakness.

You were expected to recover quickly, keep the house running, stay pleasant, and never admit you were struggling. There were no conversations about postpartum anxiety. No real understanding of depression. No social media communities saying this is hard and you are not failing. Most of you were navigating motherhood quietly and completely on your own.

So when some of the advice passed down feels outdated or misses the mark, I try to remember that it came from survival, not malice. You weren’t given the tools or support you deserved. Breasts were never inappropriate. They were designed to nourish babies. Babies are biologically wired to seek closeness. Responding to them is not spoiling them.

I feel sorry that so many women were forced to parent disconnected from their instincts. And I also want to gently remind everyone that motherhood evolves. This generation is reclaiming what was always natural. Trusting our bodies. Trusting our babies. And choosing connection over compliance. ❤️

Then (2019) and Now (2026): We met as pregnant yoga students and something special happened. During this transformative chapter of life, while travelling the same journey side-by-side, bumps and deep friendships grew. From the bumps, births and first trips out of the house just us and baby, to meet as mothers... The learning to breastfeed together, the WhatApps 3am chats of "is she latching?" and "is this poo colour normal?" convos...The shared birthdays, secret Santa's, mama and baby holidays and the odd - but well-deserved mama meals and spa days.

It's harder to get together these days with more than one kiddo, work and life, but I'm so grateful that we still do. I found my village at pregnancy yoga then I trained in it!
