The Postnatal Mum & Baby 6 week course is designed to give new mums the opportunity to schedule some time for their physical and mental wellbeing, while not having to worry about childcare!

The postpartum period is a wonderful yet challenging and intense time. These classes are geared towards keeping your mind and body strong as your baby grows.

In these sessions, we will work through incredible poses and exercises to help the body heal and recover. We will focus on rebuilding and strengthening pelvic floor and core muscles as well as releasing tension around the neck and shoulders, which as a new mum I know is vital!

Ultimately, it will be a time to nurture yourself and your body. The healthier, happier and stronger you are, the happier and more content your baby will be. Self-care really is the best childcare.

Meet other like-minded mums, expand your support network and have fun!

The Pregnancy Yoga classes are designed to help empower a woman's journey through pregnancy and childbirth.

The classes will be taught in the Poppy Perinatal Yoga method and will focus on strengthening and opening up the body to protect the joints, relieve any pelvic and back pain, promote good posture and support the changing pregnant body.

We will move through an intelligent sequence of yoga poses and specific core exercises that will help you move towards a more pain free and healthy pregnancy

You will learn how to breathe in a way that will support you through pregnancy, labour, the delivery process and postpartuum. My yogic breath was without a doubt my greatest resource during labour. A breathing practice nourishes baby and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, thereby reducing fear and tension, which can make for a more comfortable labour.

Ultimately, the classes will help you connect, listen to and embrace your changing body, trust your ability to birth, and surrender to the process that is, for the most part, beyond your control (another great skill to have during motherhood!)
