Thank you for the lovely review 🥰

Why are we all out here chasing perfection like it’s some kind of Olympic sport?

Perfect nails, perfect makeup, perfect bump, perfect nursery, perfect gender reveal.. .honestly, it’s exhausting just listing them.

We pile so much pressure on our bodies and minds… and for what? Does it actually make us happier? Or are we secretly just tired of sprinting after standards that are way too high for any human to reach?

That’s why I think of my classes as a little rebellion against perfection. A place where you can drop the expectations, sigh dramatically if needed, and realise that letting go feels really good. Every “perfection” you release? P**f..! The tension disappears with it.

Can’t nail a pose? Who cares, as long as you’re safe and smiling. 😂

Bad hair day? The messy bun has entered the room.

Nursery not done before baby arrives? Baby will be too busy sleeping, eating, and being adorable to notice.

Let’s embrace being perfectly imperfect…it’s way more fun anyway. ❤️

Stretching to help you relax, release tension, and build strength - inside and out. 🤍

The Cobra Pose 🐍

This beautiful heart-opening stretch supports your spine, strengthens your back and glutes, lifts your posture, and creates more space for your breath. Perfect for easing tightness and feeling grounded during pregnancy.

Stronger. Softer. More connected.

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that when I was pregnant with my son, working full-time as a manager in the insurance industry, my life would take such a dramatic and meaningful turn. At the time, my world revolved around spreadsheets, targets, and team meetings. I had a clear career path i...

Sitting seahorse-style on a noodle is such a simple way to give your body a gentle boost in the water. The wobble helps you instinctively sit a little taller, letting your spine find an easy, natural alignment. As you balance, your pelvic floor and deep core join in, giving you support without any actual squeezing. It’s a great move that feels good and works beautifully with the flow of classes!!

💦 A perfect example of one of my lovely ladies drifting into stillness 💦

At the end of your aquanatal yoga session, enjoy time to float gently on your back, ears and eyes beneath the water, body weightless, breath slow.

Let the world soften, sounds fade, light dissolve, and be held in pure calm. 🌙

This moment of sensory rest soothes the nervous system, melts away tension, and leaves you deeply grounded…connected to your breath, your body, and your baby. 🤍
