Postnatal yoga demonstrates the wonder of how your body can transform and restore itself. The postnatal yoga practices focus on ‘closing the body’; supporting the muscles to gently knit back together; returning the body to optimal alignment, stabilising the pelvis and reconditioning the core muscles.

This is so important for long term physical health and wellbeing, as unaddressed muscle weaknesses and imbalances can contribute to things like pelvic floor dysfunction, and hip pain months or even years down the road.  During pregnancy your body took it’s time making space for your growing baby; and so too it takes time for it to all come back together. The gentle yet strong focus of these postnatal Yogic-Pilates practices are the perfect preparation for a planned return to stronger yoga practices, pilates, running and other forms of exercise. 

But it’s not just about your body, it can also give your mind the time and space to recover as well. Lack of sleep, shifting hormones and adjusting to a new kind of ‘normal’ can leave us mothers fatigued; and you may feel like you’re often walking around in a fog. During sessions I endeavour to offer you the opportunity to share the space with your baby, but to also have a bit of ‘you time’, where you can focus attention on self-care and restoration of both the mind and the body.
