Postnatal Yoga

Learn how to strengthen and restore your postnatal body in a nurturing environment

My postnatal yoga classes offer you a safe, friendly and comfortable space for you to re-establish your yoga practice from 6 weeks postpartum.​I aim to help new Mum's to tune into their new bodies and start to move again.​You are welcome to bring your babies with you to class and enjoy some time exploring yoga whilst knowing your baby is safe and in a calming environment.​Classes are specially designed to help you transition into a hatha yoga class when you feel ready.​Postnatal Yoga is a great way of safely re-toning and strengthening the whole body whilst bonding with your baby amongst a community of other mums. The benefits of Postnatal Yoga include:​

  • Strengthens pelvic floor, abdominal and back muscles to regain core strength

  • Relieves tension in the upper body resulting from holding and feeding

  • Restores hormonal balance and eases pressure on the nervous system

  • Renews energy through rest and relaxation

  • Relieves stress, anxiety and depression

  • Improves posture, realigns the spine and improves balance

  • Allows reconnection with the body

  • Aids bonding between mum and baby

  • Provides the opportunity to connect and build friendships with other mums

  • Offers a nurturing environment in which to emotionally heal after a difficult pregnancy or birth

  • ​Whether you have a yoga practice already or are completely new to yoga, come and join me and other new Mums on the mat.

Following attending pregnancy yoga I was keen to get back to classes as soon as I could. I recognised the importance of listening to my body and not rushing back into exercise. My body had already been through a lot with pregnancy and labour. 
Following my 6 week check with the GP and getting the green light, I signed up to Zara’s postnatal yoga classes. 
These classes we very different to the pregnancy classes, before I was focusing on my body and making it the best “home” for my baby and now my baby was there in front of me, and I wanted to make my body and mind stronger again for me and my baby. 
Some classes, all I managed was a few down dogs and hip circles as my daughter wanted to be held or fed (something which Zara actively encouraged) but other classes I amazed myself with how much I did and how strong my body was becoming again. 
As with pregnancy yoga, I built friendships, built my village around me. In classes we would have a catch up before the session started. Here we would laugh, cry and support each other. Zara was a constant - always there to laugh, cry and support us though the journey of motherhood.
