Postnatal / Mother & Baby Yoga
A postnatal yoga class that you can bring baby along to! The months after birth are an important time for your body. The immense changes undergone during pregnancy and labour take their toll on the muscles, joints and in particular, the pelvic floor. Mother and baby classes are a wonderful opportunity to realign the spine, regain your strength and tone, internally as well as externally. Tension in the body and mind is released. Breath work rebalances energy levels and restores calm in the busy and bewildering time of new motherhood. The experience of moving through poses with your baby close to you is a beautiful and fun way to get to know each other, building the eternal connection between mother and child.
A great opportunity to meet other new mums, classes are small, ensuring plenty of individual attention. They are held in blocks of 5 and cost £60. Your first class is a taster class and costs £12. You can join at anytime, not necessarily at the start of one of the blocks, e.g. if you came along for the first time on week 3 and wanted to continue you'd only need to pay for lessons 3,4 and 5 then if continuing pay £60 for the next block of 5.
Mums are free to feed and change baby whenever necessary. An informal chat with the other mums over a cup of tea follows the class.
It is a good idea to see a chiropractor or osteopath before starting any exercise postnatally to ensure the spine and pelvis are well aligned after pregnancy and birth. Petra Langen-Pieters is a great local chiropractor who can also assess babies at no extra cost. Her website is at www.addlestonechiro.com
Please be advised that no refunds are made for any missed classes, apart from in exceptional circumstances and at the Instructor’s discretion.
postnatal yoga classes include physical movements as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress re-education and relief for the mother only. Where the infant accompanies their Mother (parent) to these classes, the Mother (parent) will be wholly responsible for their own offspring. The Instructor will accept no liability for the children during this time. |

“I first met Christina when I attended her antenatal yoga class. This was my first pregnancy and although I had practised yoga for many years I did not have the specialist knowledge to guide me through my pregnancy, labour and postnatal recovery. Christina has an in depth knowledge of yoga alongside experience, skill and sensitivity. She uses asana (posture), pranayama (breath) and sound to enable each individual, whether new to yoga or with some experience, to strengthen and prepare their body and mind for journey through pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal recovery.
In the postnatal classes Christina works carefully with the pelvic floor and abdomen and focusses on helping her students to re-align and energise the body and balance the mind. The classes are small and personal and Christina looks to each student’s particular physical and emotional requirements and modifies their practice accordingly. Her specialist knowledge of both pregnancy and postnatal yoga allows her to guide each student through their practice in a safe way protecting each posture with the use of the breath. She provides perceptive and skilful adjustments so that the practice can deepen as the body recovers after giving birth. She has great patience and creates an atmosphere where the babies relax enough to allow the mothers to enjoy a thorough postnatal practice. Christina has a great gift. She teaches in a special way that connects you to the tradition and to the true heart of yoga.”
