We practise gentle yoga movements (including adaptations and modifications of classical yoga poses), breathing techniques and relaxation. The class is primarily for the mother, but is done alongside – and sometimes with – your baby. Classes are progressive and have been developed to support and aid postnatal recovery in the year after birth. They also encourage community and connection, and offer practices that can be weaved into daily life, promoting an holistic approach to baby care and parenting. Term time only. Classes must be pre-booked.
