💫 Yoga for you where Baby comes too 💫

Bookings are now open for my Postnatal Mum & Baby Yoga classes starting February 24th & 25th.

It’s a 6 week block where you can work on your recovery from pregnancy and birth, bond with your baby, regain strength and fitness, build confidence and meet other local new Mums and Babies.

I know it can be daunting stepping into your first class especially taking your new baby along, but I promise a friendly, welcoming atmosphere where you and your baby are made to feel welcome just as you are.

Your weekly dose of zen while riding the waves of new motherhood. 🙏🏼💕

Real friendships are formed at my classes. I’ve seen it time and time again 🥰 Find your village, because you’re not meant to do this alone. 💞

Spaces are limited. Please use the booking link in comments or click the link in my bio.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A 5-star review from a Dad and birth partner 🥹🤍

One of the biggest myths around antenatal education is that it’s “just for mums.” This beautiful feedback says otherwise.

He shared how taking my Prepare for Birth & Baby course didn’t just help him understand labour and newborn care — it helped him truly feel involved. From learning how to support physically and emotionally.

Having open conversations, learning together, and preparing as a team created a deeper connection long before baby arrived.

Birth partners are not “extras” in the room. They are anchors, advocates and calm in the storm — and when they feel prepared, it changes everything.

This course isn’t just about birth.
It’s about building confident parents and strong foundations.

If you’re expecting and want your partner to feel just as ready as you do, this is your sign ✨

Booking is now open for my next 5 week course starting April 28th. Perfect for those due in June, July and August.

Have you heard of an En Caul Birth? 💫

An en caul birth is when a baby is born completely inside the intact amniotic sac.

Usually the membranes rupture ‘waters break’ before or during labour. In an en caul birth, they remain intact, and baby is born still held within the fluid-filled sac that has protected them throughout pregnancy.

It’s uncommon, but it’s a normal variation of birth. The sac is opened shortly after birth so baby can take their first breaths.

Across many cultures, en caul births have been seen as symbolic or special. In birth work, we can honour the beauty of it while remembering that physiologically, it’s simply one of the many ways birth can unfold.

I’m sharing this post because while statistics say the chances of an en caul birth is 1 in 80,000 births. My second cousin recently experienced this with her second baby. The midwife gently opened the sac to “let her out” all done in the birth pool. How amazing is that?! 💞

This week marks the end of term in Mum & Baby Yoga and the end of the course for Prepare for Birth & Baby.

And I was lucky enough to get some treats from both! 🥰

It’s always bittersweet when Mums come to the end of maternity leave and babies move on to other exciting things. But we will always have the wonderful memories and bonding experiences that come with my classes and courses.

Thank you for your continued support and Baby Arthur, I have known you from a barely there bump to the strong, happy, beautiful baby boy you are today. Wishing you all the best and a smooth transition into your next chapter of life. 💞 I hope to see you at Women’s Wellness Yoga. 🙏🏼

Bookings are now open for our next Mum & Baby term and my next Antenatal Education course.

Helping out at school today for the Cows on Tour. We learned how to make butter (which we tried on bread they made in school yesterday) we learned how to mill wheat by hand and then got to see the cows, sheep and lamb. Then had a go on the real tractor! So much fun for the children. 🐄🐑🚜
