“Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.”– Eleanor Brown

WHAT IS POSTNATAL YOGA?

After having a baby, your body needs time to heal and rest, and so does your mind. Postnatal yoga is a gentle yoga practice designed to help your mind and body to reconnect after childbirth, find some calm and stillness to support a gradual recovery. The process takes time so be patient and don’t rush this process.

 

These classes will address the physical and emotional challenges many new mothers face, from lack of sleep, higher levels of fatigue, and body aches. With everything from progressive core restitution, pelvic floor muscles restoration to lower and upper back strengthening, you will find the continuing support you are looking for.

 

New moms sometimes report that they have “forgotten their needs” and have lost themselves in the new role as mothers. During the Postnatal Yoga sessions, you will understand the importance of prioritising self-care. Remember that self-care is not selfish. Neglecting your own care can have significant impacts on your health, mental balance, and even the well-being of your baby.

 

Postnatal yoga offers the most benefits during the first six months after delivery, however, it also promotes well-being within the first year as a new mom. These sessions are also a great way to meet like-minded moms who are undergoing the same emotional and physical changes as you, with whom you can share your experiences, concerns, and thoughts.

 

Postnatal Yoga sessions are open to everyone, previous yoga experience is not necessary. For inquiries please contact me.
