Phenix Yoga
The postnatal period is one of great change and adjustment. Yoga can be of great support in helping women transition as smoothly as possible through this special time. The main physical focus of postnatal yoga is on dynamically but safely rebuilding core strength, providing comfort and stability for the lower back and pelvis, strengthening the abdominal area and opening for the chest and shoulders which often become tight through feeding and carrying. Classes will have both an energising and relaxing effect on mothers and provide a warm and supportive atmosphere to bond with your baby and meet other mums. Although much of the emphasis is on the mother, mummy and baby classes also include gentle yoga stretches, music and rhymes for the babies which all help to aid sleep. Classes are suitable 6 weeks after birth once you have had your postnatal check with your GP until your baby is crawling. Postnatal yoga also works well as a one on one session as Jennie is able to hold and entertain the baby if necessary, making a really deep, focused practice more possible.

I did Jennie’s mummy and baby yoga classes after my first son and found them great for calming my mind, strengthening my body and connecting with my little one. I’d highly recommend her classes to all new mum’s and mum’s to be.
