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.
My tried and tested live and interactive sessions whether online or in-person are great for creating a lasting bond, stimulating and supporting a baby’s physical, emotional and social development as well as helping to relieve colic, sleeping difficulties, constipation, teething and other ailments.
My baby massage & yoga courses are suitable for all parents and babies, I demonstrate on a doll and only parents massage their baby and you do not need to come from a yoga background.
Baby Massage & Yoga are a perfect pair, beautiful and loving ways to connect & soothe your baby and has fantastic health benefits.
As well as open group sessions, I also offer one to one session do get in touch if I can be of service to you.

I am a yoga teacher with over 14 years of teaching experiencing, including many years of teaching pre-and post-natal yoga in East London. I have helped many hundreds of women to feel more comfortable, confident and relaxed during their pregnancies and births, and have welcomed back many of them on the other side with their babies – which is always such a joy.
In the words of one of my recent students:
“I would definitely recommend Sarah’s pregnancy yoga classes! They have been a real help to stay healthy and well during pregnancy, both mentally and physically. The class is tailored to pregnant mums, keeping our bodies fit during pregnancy, but Sarah also gives us very helpful tips about positions and breathing during childbirth. She clearly knows what she is talking about and she always takes her time for any concerns or questions. It never feels like she is on a schedule. The classes are more than just yoga. Each session starts with checking in on each other. It’s very helpful to share pregnancy concerns with other ladies going through the same thing. The community of pregnant ladies that we have built in Sarah’s classes is such a wonderful support. I can’t wait to join the post-natal classes with our babies later on!”

I have been practising yoga for 30 years and teaching it for 22. Specialising in Pregnancy and Post Natal Yoga for last 20 years, I have taught regular classes at my local studio, Gracelands Yard, for more than 10 of those years. This has allowed me the joy of helping many women through their pregnancy and the privilege of meeting their babies when they return to my post natal class. We offer a friendly and welcoming environment and this encourages many women to return for subsequent pregnancies and post natal healing.
No experience is required and all are welcome.I am an experienced Pregnancy & Post Natal Yoga teacher and I teach Children, Teens, Senior clients and people with Dementia. I have worked post operatively with clients and used restorative yoga postures to support a return to health. This experience, alongside using yoga to relieve Stress, Anxiety and Depression, has lead me to an understand the importance of treating the whole person.
As well as my core training in Dynamic Yoga, I have studied with Birthlight, The Teen Yoga Foundation and The Special Yoga Centre, and have continued my studies with Sandra Sabatini, Jo Kemp (Way of Soma), The Minded Institute & Jivamukti. I have learnt so much from practising Dynamic, Iyengar and Jivamukti Yoga. Many years working for Sure Start, the Monroe Charity, Yogahome, The Special Yoga Centre and Brent council, as well as more than 10 years at my local studio, have given me the hands on experience of how people learn and heal.
