Orla Kerbey has been practicing yoga for over 15 years and during this time, has developed a fascination with the women’s body, especially around maternal health and well being. She practiced yoga through her own pregnancy and the movement, breathwork and meditation helped calm her mind and body, and supported her through her labour.
Her 250hr training in Hatha Yoga in The Elbow room fuelled her passion for learning, and her pregnancy yoga course with Yoga Therapy Ireland gave her the additional skills to ensure that she could support pregnant people as they move through their trimesters towards their delivery. Her classes will focus on movement and breathwork which will challenge mama to move her body in a safe way, which will then support her through her labour and delivery. We will use props such as birthing balls, tennis balls for myofascial release of tight spots, belts and bolsters to ensure comfort and safety when relaxing. Orla is also a trained Postpartum Doula and is passionate about supporting mamas as they move through their matrescence into motherhood.
