Sarah Brannen started Warm Hearts Yoga in 2013, when she was looking for a local yoga class that she could attend with her young daughter. Sarah is a registered 200 hour yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance.
Warm Hearts Yoga specialises in postnatal yoga, parent and baby yoga and yoga for families, as well as offering traditional yoga classes for adults.
Sarah originally trained with Birthlight and Rainbow Yoga, specialising in baby yoga, postnatal yoga, yoga for toddlers, children and families. She went on to study with CYS for her 200hr Yoga teaching qualification and with Uma Dinsmore Tuli’s Womb Yoga for an additional 40 hour postnatal and family yoga qualification.
Sarah passionately believes that yoga can provide so much more than strength, flexibility and fitness. She has found it has helped her to find a sense of calm amidst the chaos, to remain steady through the constant change, to love and accept herself, and to find a path to follow that feels right.

With you on your journey, covering Derby, Uttoxeter & Burton

Hola! My name is Josefina Eliggi, I’m an Argentinian yoga teacher (RYT 200+) based in Zurich, and I specialise in yoga for before, after and beyond birth.
Yoga was a fundamental tool in healing my difficult birthing experience after becoming a mother for the first time in 2015. In subsequent years I completed a 200-hour teacher training course, and got certified as a pre- and postnatal yoga teacher.
I’m passionate about helping women embrace the changes that occur during pregnancy, navigate the first few months after childbirth, and rediscover themselves in their new role as mothers while continuing to pursue their goals and aspirations.
Du hast gerade ein Kind bekommen? Dann herzlich willkommen im Mama-Baby-Universum.
Die Zeit nach der Geburt steckt ebenso voller Veränderungen wie die Schwangerschaft. Nach den ersten turbulenten Wochen besteht dein Alltag aus Stillen und Spucktuch, Windeln und Waschmaschine. Und leider gehören auch schlaflose Nächte, Tage mit Bauchweh und Wachstumsschübe deines Babys dazu. Zeit für dich bleibt da wenig. Dabei ist es wichtig, sich diese Zeit zu nehmen.
Ich bin Janine und lebe mit meinem Mann, unseren drei Kindern und unseren beiden Hunden in Winsen. Seit der Geburt meiner Kinder war für mich klar, dass ich gerne mit Kindern arbeiten möchte. Gestartet habe ich mit Kinderturnen und Spielkreisen, mit meiner Baby-/Toddler-Yoga und DELFI-Ausbildung habe ich mir einen Herzenswunsch erfüllt, auch die ganz Kleinen ein Stück auf ihrem Weg zu begleiten.
I run Pregnancy and Mum & Baby Yoga classes in Bracknell, Berkshire. As well as Well Woman Yoga classes. Classes are small and friendly, no experience of yoga is required.
Pregnancy Yoga is suitable from 14 weeks onwards and helps promote a comfortable pregnancy. Classes work wonders to prepare the body and mind for the birth and are a great way to meet other Mums.
Mum & Baby Yoga is suitable from 6 weeks after the birth up until baby is crawling. We focus on stabilising the core and reconnecting with the pelvic floor as well as easing out postnatal aches and pains. Baby Yoga is included as well as mutually beneficial movements. Classes are fun and playful in a relaxed environment.
Well Woman Yoga focuses on nurturing yoga that promotes core and pelvic floor health. This is a fun relaxed class.
Pre Natal Yoga
These pre-natal yoga classes are perfect for ‘mums-to-be’ from 12 weeks onwards.
The gentle yet effective approach of these classes aims to internalise the practices and techniques in order to build a body memory that can be called upon with ease, instinctively in daily life, during labour and beyond.
Pregnancy yoga benefits include:
Increase awareness in body, breath and postural changes.
Expanding breathing capabilities in order to breathe for two, assist during labour and birth.
Pelvic awareness (unfold range of movements and as foundational support for the body).
Tone and release pelvic floor muscles in preparation for labour and beyond.
Boost energy and reduce fatigue.
Increase resilience and ease tensions in both body and mind.
Yoga for common pregnancy issues: pelvic girdle pain, encouraging baby into optimal birthing position, better sleep, etc.
Restorative yoga for mums to be & yoga nidra
Postnatal Yoga (without Baby)
Nurturing Gentle Yoga class for Mothers. From 12 weeks onwards and up to any time postpartum.
Open to anyone who’d like to reconnect to body, mind and with other local Mothers.
For those interested in Mum and Baby Yoga (Postnatal with Baby) we are resuming classes in September 2021.
Postnatal Yoga with Baby
Nurturing class for you and your baby. Take some time out to
relax, recuperate, re-strength and meet other mums while your
baby relaxes with you in a safe environment.

Είμαιι μαία, εκπαιδευτικός, διεθνώς πιστοποιημένη Σύμβουλος Γαλουχίας IBCLC και πιστοποιημένη Birthlight™ Yoga for Maternity teacher.
Έχοντας ολοκληρώσει κύκλους σπουδών στη μαιευτική και στον ανώδυνο τοκετό και εργαζόμενη ως εκπαιδευτικός, στα χρόνια που ακολούθησαν έγινα μητέρα πέντε παιδιών. Οι εμπειρίες που βίωσα η ίδια με τον θηλασμό των 5 παιδιών μου, με ενέπνευσαν να διευρύνω περισσότερο τις γνώσεις μου και την εξειδίκευσή μου για να βοηθήσει και άλλες μαμάδες που ήθελαν να θηλάσουν τα μωρά τους. Έτσι, μετεκπαιδεύθηκα και ως Σύμβουλος Θηλασμού IBCLC και στην περιγεννητική γιόγκα Birthlight™ Yoga for Maternity. Και αργότερα, ένα ακόμη όνειρό μου πήρε μορφή, με τη συνδημιουργία του Κύκλου.
Θα με βρεις στον Κύκλο να παρέχω την υποστήριξή μου με σεμινάρια, ομιλίες και workshops ως Σύμβουλος Θηλασμού σε κάθε στάδιο της μητρότητας, από την εγκυμοσύνη, τον τοκετό, τον θηλασμό, τη σύνδεση της Γυναίκας με το σώμα της και το παιδί της και μέσω μαθημάτων prenatal-postnatal yoga.
Ταυτόχρονα, μπορείς να επικοινωνήσεις μαζί μου και να με επιλέξεις για σύντροφο υποστήριξης σε όλο το ταξίδι της μητρότητας, για μια πολύπλευρη υποστήριξη με ατομικές συνεδρίες, όπου κι αν ζεις.

Sensory aids such as baby yoga balls and colourful scarves to encourage movement. Fantastic to encourage movement, fine and gross motorskills, healthy brain development with brain gym movements, moves to help digestion and joint relaxation at the end with sensory lights.

Glow Mama Zwangerschapsyoga (Pregnancy Yoga)
Zwangerschapsyoga is een fijne manier om in beweging te blijven tijdens je zwangerschap. Het helpt je om in balans te blijven tijdens deze bijzondere periode en bewust stil te staan bij het wonderlijke proces van nieuw leven in je buik.
Tijdens de lessen oefen je om je rust te vinden, je te concentreren op je ademhaling en bouw je kracht en stabiliteit op. De yogahoudingen zijn aangepast op de zwangerschap: er wordt rekening gehouden met je groeiende buik en alle andere fysieke veranderingen.
Vanaf je 12e zwangerschapsweek kun je met de zwangerschapsyogalessen starten. De lessen zijn doorlopend en je kunt de lessen volgen tot aan het eind van je zwangerschap. De lessen zijn voor iedereen toegankelijk met of zonder yoga-ervaring.

Mama & Baby (Postnatal Yoga)
Vijf wekelijkse lessen voor na je bevalling voor jou en je kindje (vanaf 4 weken tot 6 maanden na de bevalling). Maximaal 10 deelnemers.
Mama & Baby is speciaal voor vrouwen die net een kindje hebben gekregen. Opeens is je leven anders. In de periode die achter je ligt, is er een hoop veranderd. Zowel lichamelijk als geestelijk. De Mama & Baby lessen helpen bij het vinden van een nieuwe balans en ondersteunen lichamelijk herstel.
In de lessen besteden we aandacht aan het versterken van de bekkenbodem, buik, onderrug en benen. Daarnaast doen we oefeningen die de schouders, bovenrug en nek ontspannen en soepeler maken. Dit gebied wordt door het vele tillen en dragen van je kindje, maar ook door het voeden van je kindje, zwaar belast waardoor het stijf kan aanvoelen.
Je kindje ligt tijdens de les gezellig bij jou op je mat en kan meekijken, slapen of meedoen terwijl jij dichtbij hem/haar bent. Voel je vrij om tijdens de les je kindje te voeden of te troosten. Alles mag, niets hoeft!
De laatste les van de cursus staat in het teken van Baby Voetreflexologie. Gebaseerd op het boek en lessen bij Floor Tuinstra: ‘Masseer de kwaaltjes van je kindje in 1 minuut weg’. Baby’s ondervinden al snel resultaat van de reflexologie en gaan beter slapen, hebben minder tot geen krampjes, zitten lekkerder in hun vel en produceren weer volle luiers!
Ook bereiden deze lessen je goed voor op de reguliere yogalessen.

Baby Yoga
The gentle movements, focus on your baby and will aid circulation and digestion as well as support muscle tone, coordination, and the development of your baby’s body awareness. Baby Yoga also includes the opportunity to explore movement together and plenty of time to engage and be present with your baby.
Baby Massage
Baby massage allows you to enjoy special, focussed, one-to-one time with your baby in a relaxing environment. There are numerous benefits to massage too as the strokes will stimulate all of your baby’s major body systems and support with relief from constipation or teething as well as your baby’s relaxation as the massage supports the release of calming oxytocin. Only you will massage your baby and the strokes will cover baby’s legs, arms, tummy, chest, face and back.
Toddler Yoga
Yoga-inspired poses, stretches and movements, weaved amongst songs, rhymes and stories, create an inspiring, fun and engaging class for toddlers. Weekly themes keep little ones interested, whilst the classes also introduce your toddler to concepts of relaxation, breathing and gratitude.

My name is Carla and I am a fully qualified Birthlight and STA infant aquatics teacher. In 2005, I trained with a swim school in Cambridge which was ran by Sally Lomas and Amanda Gawthrope. I also worked at Birthlight’s headquarters in admin for a while too. Having taught babies to swim over many years, including my own daughter, I have become increasingly aware of the benefits for newborn babies of learning water confidence from a very young age and the parent and baby bonding that results from being in water. Our aim is to bring parent and baby together through our swim splash classes in a safe, friendly and fun environment that best suits the needs of everyone involved.
I am a nursery nurse and mental health professional offering baby massage, baby yoga, kids yoga, family yoga and mindfulness meditation classes to all. Can be individual sessions or group.
