Mama Yoga – Yoga with Carolyn

Gentle and uplifting yoga care for all those who identify as a new mother, with your babe by your side.

Join this supportive community from 8 weeks (or as you feel ready) to when your baby starts crawling, and journey through the physical-mental-emotional changes and challenges of matrescence (the evolution of becoming a mother) with a little more ease.

Each week there will be a gentle theme to explore and embody, such as feeling stronger with each breath, feeling present through change, connecting to self compassion (and so much more) as we explore:

– A supportive (optional) sharing circle to feel seen and normalise
– Inclusive, nurturing yoga, with lots of options for self-empowered practice
– Calming and mindful breath awareness to support natural pelvic floor health
– Deep rest meditation / Yoga Nidra or body scan

Feeding, rocking babe to sleep, strolling around the big space, or laying down to rest is definitely all ok, at any time. This is your space to practice taking what you need.
No previous yoga experience is needed. The cafe in the community centre is the perfect space to pause after class to chat and get to know other new mums in your community over a cuppa, if you would like.

There is one free Community Space available each term. If money is a barrier for you to join this class please just email me. No explanation is needed.

ONCE THE COURSE HAS STARTED, PLEASE EMAIL ME TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS SPACE TO JOIN. Max 10 mamas per class / £12 drop in.

PRACTICAL BITS

You’re welcome to arrive 10 minutes early to feed or just settle into the space, class will start 10.30am – but if you’re late please join us any time. Bring your own yoga mat, plus a blanket for your baby. Please no musical toys! There is lots of space in the room for prams or car seats. Local parking is free but might take time to find a space so allow time for this, if at all possible.
