Yoga, Ayurveda & Abdominal Therapy
In my practice, I work with a unique combination of Birthlight Yoga, Ayurveda & Abdominal Therapy. Yoga & Ayurveda are two sister sciences that originated in ancient India, Abdominal Therapy has its origins in the wisdom of Don Elijio, a Mayan shaman from Belize. Originated in other times and cultures and also applicable and effective in the modern world. This powerful combination helps restore inner balance in body and mind through the use of nutrition, lifestyle, treatments, yoga and (medicinal) herbs.
I work with complaints around digestion, menstruation and menopause and help you become more aware of your belly and pelvic area. You are welcome for a personal consultation in which I look with you at what diet, lifestyle, and/or support with yoga, massage treatments and herbs will help you maintain or regain your balance.
New Ipswich based classes due to open Autumn 2022 for babies and pre-schoolers. Please watch this space or get in touch directly…
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.
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.

I’m Julie Bickerton, founder of Nomad Therapy, here to support and nurture you throughout pregnancy, postnatally and through menopause.
My philosophy is to promote positive touch and accessible yoga. Providing a safe space where we can be honest and open about our experiences as women and building a community where friendships are made.
After my training as a baby massage instructor and having my son, my fascination with babies continued to grow and broaden.
Now in my midlife I am expanding my experience to support women through this period of their incredible lives.
I feel very lucky in my vocation. I love what I do and I continue to learn from every woman and baby that I meet.
I offer specialist fertility yoga, yoga during pregnancy and Birthlight postnatal yoga in Richmond, London and online. My passion is to help women in their 1st to 4th trimesters and beyond feel calmer, more comfortable, and equipped for birth and early motherhood with group and one-to-one pregnancy yoga classes and mum and baby yoga classes, and online courses.
My classes are designed to help you find ease, relax, reduce common aches and pains, prepare and heal from birth. And make your transition into motherhood a little easier. No yoga experience necessary.
I offer the following services:
- Â Group pregnancy yoga classes in Richmond, London and online
- One-to-one pregnancy yoga classes in your home and online, including yoga in early pregnancy and birth preparation workshops
- Group mum and baby yoga classes in Richmond, London and online
- One-to-one postnatal exercise and recovery yoga in your home and online
- Online pre-recorded pregnancy yoga course “Pregnant in Anxious times”
- Online pre-recorded course ‘Yoga and baby massage for colic & reflux babies’
My approach to yoga during pregnancy involves a combination of yoga-based movement, breathing techniques, mindfulness and deep relaxation, as well as antenatal information and birth preparation. My pregnancy yoga classes are suitable from the first trimester right up until birth for all women, and designed to complement your antenatal care.
I also specialise in pregnancy anxiety and pregnancy after infertility and loss.
My mum and baby yoga classes combine Birthlight postnatal yoga for mum, and baby massage and baby yoga for baby, suitable from 3 weeks after birth (including caesarean birth) until your baby is crawling.

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. Â 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 now run online classes for baby yoga,(Tuesday am) perinatal yoga( Tuesday evening) and adult yoga(Monday and Thursday evenings)
Free trial class for each of these.
Postnatal Yoga Teacher based in Venlo, The Netherlands
Vera has been practicing yoga since 1992 and teaching from 2004 (holding teaching diplomas across number of disciplines from BWY, Birthlight, Yoga Therapy and Children Yoga). Vera has extensive training in meditation and mindfulness practices and has been supporting women as a birth and postpartum Doula since 2008.
Among her over 2000 hours of training in many traditions of yoga, yoga therapy and doula supporting work, Vera specifically focused on training in yoga nidra, hypnosis and restorative yoga as she feels that without restorative practice and ability to enjoy and come to terms with the stillness, deep transformation is difficult, especially in the current fast-paced environment and this stillness allows our bodies to restore health in a holistic way.
She brings this restorative approach to all therapeutic work she does with focus on provision of support covering all aspects of female lifecycle (from fertility issue through pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond).
Particulars: Vera’s Birthlight classes cover well-woman, fertility, pregnancy and postpartum milestones in female life. They are held in small class environment and whilst largely based on Birthlight curriculum also include all the knowledge that Vera has gained in supporting these stages through her yoga therapy and doula work.
Group classes: The classes take place on Mondays, online format and are normally booked in blocks of 5. All details are on https://www.veradubrovina.com/events-booking/. To book your place please send Vera an email (info@veradubrovina.com).
One-to-one yoga therapy: this is held face to face in my studio in Earlsfield, all details are on https://www.veradubrovina.com/yoga-therapy/ and booking as per above.
I qualified as a Birthlight Level 2 Diploma baby swimming teacher in 2015.
Our classes run on a Sunday morning all year round
I am passionate about women’s health, from conception, birth to menopause and beyond. The yoga classes I offer to women provide them with invaluable tools to help transform, empower and heal their body’s and minds in a gentle but effective way. I qualified in Birthlight Pre-Natal Yoga in 2007, and Post-Natal Yoga in 2008, and Well Woman Yoga 2020.
I am currently offering on-line group classes via Zoom and face-to-face 1-2-1’s.
I have been running Aqua Yoga classes in West Sussex for 10 years, specialising in one to one sessions. These sessions are tailor-made for clients to work supporting them with long term conditions. The Aqua Yoga sessions are also a complementary aid for injury and mobility. Sessions with larger groups can be arranged.
I also worked with children with disabilities, allowing them to obtain freedom in water through experiencing gentle Aqua Yoga.
One to one sessions and some group sessions are also available for pregnant Mums, as well as for recovery postnatally.
The sessions are based in private pools in West Sussex.
Hope to be back in Business next year, as I truly miss teaching & the water environment .
