What to expect in a class

A typical class will begin with a little centring exercise where we turn our attention inwards,

release outside distractions and begin to focus on our breath.


We'll then start to add movement, warming the body up throughly before moving mindfully through some sequences that will build strength

and ease out tension. All postures are given as an invitation and I encourage you to only do what feels good for you on the day.


I always finish my classes with a guided meditation giving you the opportunity to relax fully and take a moment to bond with your baby and

appreciate all the hard work your body is doing.
