Join Ainslie for 5 incredible weeks (before she goes on maternity leave herself!) of movement, gentle strength; pilates, yoga, breathing and relaxation whilst having your little one close by.

For mum, our Mums n Bubs series has been designed to support you in your postnatal months by helping your body regain strength, core stability, and tone in a safe and effective way. These classes can help relax the nervous system and bring balance to the endocrine system (hormones). We provide a safe, gentle and compassionate space for you to connect with yourself, your baby and other mums, to honour your emotions and the beautiful (but sometimes challenging!) journey of motherhood.

There will be a focus on:

- Re-strengthening and balancing the deep core, pelvic floor, and hips
- Getting the heart rate up in your own capacity for an endorphin and heart boost
- Strengthen back and shoulders to help relieve breast feeding tension in the shoulders and chest
- Stretches and breathing techniques to manage stress
- Rejuvenating shapes for the sleep deprived days
- Connect with other mums and make new friends
- Learn simple practices to take home with you and integrate into your daily life!

*Mamas must be 6 weeks postpartum and have been cleared to exercise by doctor or midwife.

What do the babies do?

The classes include some activities to bond with your baby – you will be offered the choice to involve your baby in the yoga postures or have him or her near to you. Ains will help calm babies during Savasana (final relaxation) with gentle sounds and singing bowls – giving you all the rest and relaxation you need.

Bubs can be babies, & crawlers.

We kindly ask you to bring a mat or blanket for your babe. And a yoga mat for yourself (we have spares available)

Since these classes are baby centered, you are welcome to attend to your baby’s needs either by feeding, changing, holding or generally reassuring them in your presence at anytime. With the support of others, you will be able to develop a balance between doing yoga for yourself and meeting the needs of your baby.

Our sessions will start and end with tea/coffee.

These classes will commence MONDAY 22nd April, 11.15am-12.15pm

- at The Maternity Resource Centre in Te Kuiti, and will run for 5 weeks.

Limited spaces available so that every mama and baby get the time and space they need.

The investment for the 5 week series is $140​

Our favourite way to begin the week! It's fun, light-hearted, dynamic and you get to choose how challenging your practice needs to be for you on the day. You'll walk out feeling calm and energized.

This will be a great class for you if you want to build on your strength, stability, balance & mobility and learn how stress manifests in the body & how to transform and process it.

We incorporate pranayama (breath), mobility, strength, embodiment practices, stability, active stretching, and deep relaxation.

Great for those who want to start the week off with a positive mindset and a clear mind!

This class is suitable for all levels.

Energise and re-charge yourself in this mid-week mindful flow with Ains! Dynamic movement and breath led yoga.

This will be great for you if you like to move and explore creative flows. I often incorporate pranayama, mobility, strength, stability, active stretching, yin and deep relaxation. Which is all awesome if you want to feel calm and revitalized.

This class is practiced in a super friendly and laid back environment, with an experienced teacher who will make sure you are learning as you go, giving you options that are suitable for your body and your energy levels!
