I qualified in Pregnancy Yoga after my second son was born and offered local classes for many years. I still see some of the Mums around now with their not so little babies! Some now being 7 and 8 years old.
I paused the classes during covid then went on to offer one to one classes only. Visiting Women at their homes and offering Pregnancy Yoga there.
Anyway, it seems the time has come to restart the class, welcoming Pregnant Goddesses and supporting them with the practice of Yoga! The classes will be offered as a 5 week course and we start on Sunday 22nd June at 6.30pm at Dilhorne Recreation Centre.

One of the things I love about our Yoga classes is the people I meet. I see some of you more than family members as you come along to class week in week out! So many friendships have been made and lots of things in common discovered. We are not a ‘clicky’ bunch by any means so if Yoga is one of the things you’ve been wanting to try or return back to, please feel free to come along. I’m pretty sure you’ll love it and know for sure you’ll feel a greater sense of wellness and love for life than before.

Alongside our regular Yoga classes, we have a couple of great offerings coming up - Following the Flow - Yoga to connect with the seasons is this Friday and as the weather is looking dry and sunny all week, I thought it would be very apt to take the class outdoors in a private bluebell wood in Leek.

Eclipses are well known for bringing the ‘shadow’ into view. Those parts of ourselves that we would rather not look at or face! So if you’ve been feeling extra sensitive, tender, vulnerable or been experiencing challenge of some kind, don’t turn away from it. It’s here to be cleared and healed. Easier said than done hey! It takes strength and trust to fully acknowledge our fears but when we do transformation and transmutation is our reward.

It’s nearly the end of another school holiday for us. It’s been a week of birthdays and adventure and finally we land on a day of nothingness. A completely free day with no plans but to potter. Anyone else love a ‘pottering around’ day?!
The practice is all planned and ready to go for our next evening Yoga theme, which begins this Monday 24th February.
Here’s the piece of writing which has inspired the practice - it’s all about circles and cycles.

I love a ‘theme’ for the Yoga that I offer and it’s almost always inspired by Nature, the cycles and seasons.
In our evening Yoga classes we practice the same ‘theme’ for around 6 weeks, giving ourselves time to really understand and feel each asana (posture), pranayama (breath extension practice) and Mudra (sacred gesture). By visiting the same routine over a length of time we see progression and begin to remember parts of the flow so we can feel confident to roll out our mats on our own should we wish.
