Hello! I’m Jane, and I’m passionate about supporting pregnancy and the journey that follows. Additionally, I am a qualified educator with a master’s degree in Intercultural Teacher Education.
I provide prenatal and postnatal classes that cater to the unique needs of you and your baby.
Classes are available in both English and Estonian.
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.
I am also an accredited La Leche League (LLL) Breastfeeding Counsellor, and run the support group LLL Shetland.

I offer perinatal classes in Harrogate for birthing people from the second trimester of pregnancy.
During pregnancy, perinatal yoga can play a key role in enhancing the experience of this precious time and empowering mums-to-be to have the most conscious and life-affirming birth experience. Perinatal yoga includes flowing sequences specifically designed for pregnancy, birth and beyond and is not just focused on birth, but also on the enjoyment of pregnancy. My perinatal yoga classes combine movement with breath, relaxation and awareness to strengthen your body and mind throughout your pregnancy and beyond and provide support for pregnant women with common pregnancy ailments such as heartburn, backache and pelvic pain. My perinatal yoga classes also offer the opportunity to connect with your baby, and coming to classes is a great way to feel part of a supported community, creating friendship and support.

Physiotherapist and Birthlight perinatal en postnatale yoga teacher
I teach Pregnancy yoga and Mother & Baby yoga in the surroundings of Puumala, Finland. Most of my classes are held in Mikkeli. Also Online classes.
Currently training towards Aqua natal yoga for antenatal and postnatal parents.
I run 6 week blocks of Birthlight baby yoga classes at the Bught Park venue. The classes are on Tuesday mornings at 10-11am and generally run with the school terms. At the moment I’m running one class for babies 8 weeks to mobile but Im hoping to run two classes in 2025: 8weeks to 4 months then 5 months to 10 months.
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.
I have been running Yoga with Babies classes since 1997, incorporating Birthlight Baby Yoga from 2002. I currently run the following Yoga with Babies classes at the Pregnancy and Parents Centre, Edinburgh:
Postnatal Yoga with Babies – with babies under 5 months
Yoga with Babies – with babies from around 5 months to mobile
Yoga with Mobile Babies
See http://www.journeyinyoga.co.uk for more information.
I studied yoga for pregnant women and wrote a diploma while I was pregnant myself, and I know, I feel, I remember what pregnancy yoga is for a woman and how much comfort, care, protection and tranquility is needed during this period.
I have been practising yoga for 17 years and teaching it for 11.
We can carefully walk this path together.
