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.

Elke maandagochtend bij Glow Yogastudio Haarlem

My name is Karen Wilson and I have been studying and practising yoga for over 10 years here and in America.
My training is recognised by the British Wheel of Yoga, Yoga Alliance and the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs). I am also fully insured.
My classes incorporate the philosophy of hatha yoga with the asana (postural work) and prananyama (breath control). I teach mixed ability classes, private on-to-one yoga, pregnancy, postnatal, baby yoga and baby massage. (Please check out these pages for more details.)
I started practising in Chicago as a means of meeting people whilst I was on assignment with my job. On my return to the UK I continued my practice, attending various classes whilst continuing my corporate job. In 2009 I decided to re-order my life and combine my passion for yoga with the desire for a ‘career’. I left my 9-5 job and started my teaching diploma. I started teaching my first class a year into my course – 10 years on and I haven’t looked back once!
I have been undertaking professional development in yoga for cancer (those undergoing treatment, post surgery and carer support), long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome as well as additional studies in menstrual cycle awareness and knee rehabilitation.
The last 10 years has seen a lot of change through my life, relocations, job changes, studying, pregnancy, motherhood and even the way in which I practise yoga. However yoga has been with me throughout both on and off the mat regardless of how small a time I can manage to fit in. The yoga philosophy has helped me come to understand and manage these changes and the time of my mat has helped me to hold onto something concrete whilst also understanding that even my yoga practise has to adapt with life.

I run Yoga classes, Pre- and Postnatal Yoga classes and now Birthlight Baby Yoga classes. For more information and to sign up for a class visit my website.
Baby yoga classes are Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:30am.
I also teach pregnancy yoga, please email me to book.
Baby yoga is great for your baby’s physical, neurological and social development. We gently assist their movement to harness their natural reflexes and curiosity, we also include some baby massage. Baby yoga is great for soothing babies, releasing frustration and helping with mood and sleep.
Part of the class will be postnatal yoga (adapted for dads/carers). We strengthen pelvic floor and gently build core strength, release tight muscles and learn simple breathing practices for relaxation.
It’s a lovely way to bond and move together with your baby at the same time as meeting local mums / parents.
If you find you want to rest or feed for most of the class that is absolutely welcome.
“My baby loves Georgia’s classes – even on days when she is overtired, as soon as the class starts she is all smiles and giggles. The yoga classes are definitely her happy place!” – Jennie
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!”
