Enjoying the journey to motherhood with a

safe, comfortable and blissful yoga practice

I’VE BEEN TEACHING YOGA for seven wonderful

years, and during this time have come across so

many different bodies with different abilities.

I can teach beginners with ease whilst keeping

more advanced students challenged. If you come

to my class with sore wrists or an injured lower

back I am confi dent in modifying your practice

accordingly. I have taught students who have a

disability, children, and my mother after a few

glasses of wine. Recently, I had a student in my

class who had just had a hip replacement.

And while all of these students challenge me

on some level, there’s nothing quite like a

beautiful, round-bellied mother-to-be

wandering (or waddling) into the studio.

Because I understand wholeheartedly how

important it is to keep that baby safe, and its

mother nurtured and nourished.
