Are you curious about your body as wild and innately wise? Perhaps you want to know more about living around the cycles of nature? Are you pregnant and feeling the need for connection with your baby and others on this wild journey that is pregnancy?
Pre-natal Yoga Series:
My passion lies in teaching a slower style class that affords you the time to come home, to create space for connection and deep listening to your body, soul and innate wisdom so you can meet yourself where you are at in any given moment, either on or off the mat. My focus extends beyond yoga, however using yoga as a catalyst for connection to yourself and others is the common thread throughout my work.
My classes are more than just a standard yoga class that has been adapted to suit pregnant bodies. In addition to a combination of dynamic and restorative yoga shapes to help prepare you for birth and support your changing body in pregnancy, I include meditations to help ground and tune into your body and your baby and take a rare moment to slow down, breathwork to help with energy, sleep and a sense of calm. I also draw on other creative practices and rituals to help you connect with yourself and others in the class. I incorporate different themes each week and provide information and handouts on different topics to support you in pregnancy, birth and post-partum and equip you with invaluable physical, emotional and spiritual resources. There is a particular focus on self-enquiry to support you in preparing for the birth of your baby and also the birth of yourself as a mother.

Pregnancy, birth and post-partum support: I am passionate about supporting women and birthing people in a holistic way to prepare for the life-changing rite of passage that is childbirth. I believe in addressing not only the physical side of birth but the mental, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects. I support you to understand the current birth culture and system, so that you can make informed decisions about the best birthing choices for you. I believe in every mother being able to take the lead and trust their intuition as they navigate pregnancy, birth and beyond. I can incorporate yoga into pre-natal session upon request.
Women’s Circles: Currently on hold. Keep an eye on my socials for more up to date information.
