Pregnancy is an experience of constant expansion of body, breath, awareness, and identity. You have to physical make room in your body for your baby to grow and in your life as you prepare to welcome a little person into the world.

In pregnancy yoga, expansion isn’t about pushing deeper into a pose, but about creating space: space in the ribs for the  breath, in the hips for movement, and in the nervous system for rest.

Through slow, supported postures, we explore how to widen without strain and strengthen without holding. The practice becomes less about achieving shapes and more about listening and responding to what the body is opening into.

Allowing for the idea of expansion in pregnancy yoga is about intelligently adapting the practice to benefit the growing body, the changing mind and the general health of the mother so she can nurture her baby.

Join us every Saturday 10.45-11.45am so you can find some space to connect, move, breathe and relax.

Did you know that ancient sages (ṛṣis) were said to meditate standing on one leg for years?

This practice was meant to cultivate tapas, one of the niyamas of the eight limbs of yoga and often translated as inner heat, discipline, and devotion.

Tree Pose echoes this idea: balance through focus and dedication.

Now, I’m not suggesting we all stand on one leg and meditate for hours 😉 but when we understand the historical and philosophical context of Tree Pose, we’re gently reminded that trees don’t rush. They don’t compare. They grow at their own pace. Perhaps we can learn to do the same in our own lives.

I love how Tree Pose can be made accessible while still offering a meaningful challenge. It carries such beautiful imagery and helps us embody the energetic qualities of grounding, steadiness, and balance.

As we bring the weight of the body into the supporting foot, we root down through heel, ball, and toes—like roots spreading into the soil.
As the arms lift, they become branches reaching toward the sky.

In this shape, the body becomes a bridge between earth and sky.

The breath moves through us like wind swaying a tree.

In moments of stillness, we can embody the quiet stability of a tree, both grounded and uplifted. Magic ✨

If you wobble (trust me, I’ve done plenty over the years) it’s okay.
With focus, dedicated practice, and a sprinkle of faith, steadiness grows—just like a tree. 💜

Calling parents with a baby in Reading 📣

We are starting a baby massage group starting 24th February. Here are some great reasons why you and your baby should attend:

💜Nurturing touch is very beneficial for both parents and babies. It helps release oxytocin, a hormone that supports bonding and emotional connection.

💜Gentle, loving touch also supports babies’ brain and motor development. Early sensory experiences like touch help the nerves in the brain develop protective coverings, which allow messages to travel more quickly and efficiently. This supports babies’ awareness of their bodies and helps them process sensory information.

💜 Coming to a baby massage course gives you skills to introduce loving nurturing touch and baby movements with confidence at home and helps you and your baby to feel calm.

💜 Singing is a great way to support language development.

💜 Breath work with support your nervous system so you feel calm and regulated.

💜Our classes are a great way to meet other parents. We always start with a check-in for the parents so you can feel settled, welcomed and heard. We finish with tea and chats at the end of each session so you feel nurtured too.

Tuesdays 10.30-11.45am in Reading. Link in bio to book.

A 50ml bottle of grapeseed oil is included. You will need to bring a towel for your baby.

Super excited to be working at The Rose Garden Early Years Centre in Reading. I will be teaching baby massage during time time from this February.

Our baby group offers a calm and supportive space where parents and babies can come together to build community, connect with their baby, and learn the co-regulatory practice of nurturing touch.

Each session is a gentle introduction to baby massage techniques, with baby yoga movements, breathing practices, and singing woven throughout. The sessions are designed to help both babies and parents relax together, support development, and enjoy a warm, friendly community.

We begin each session by gathering with a relaxed check-in, giving you time to arrive, settle in, meet other parents, and briefly share how your week has been. We then explore baby massage techniques using oil, alongside baby yoga movements, breathing practices, and singing to support bonding. The session finishes with tea and time to chat and connect.

Please note a 50ml bottle of grapeseed oil will be provided for the term. We will need to do a patch test when you arrive at the first session – this involves placing a small amount of oil inside yours and your baby’s wrist for 15 minutes to check for allergies.

Please bring a towel for your baby to lie on.

Every Tuesday during time time at 10.30am-11.45am.
