Postnatal Mum & Baby Yoga

Mondays 10.30–11.45am · The Loft, Little Dippers · Term time only

These classes are one of my absolute favourites to teach. From 6 weeks post-vaginal birth or 8 weeks post-caesarean, through to when your baby starts to move ~ we rebuild strength safely, reconnect with your body, bond with your baby and create the community that every new mum needs.

Come as you are. Feed, change, snuggle and bounce as much as you need. The kettle goes on. You are welcome just as you are.

What to expect:

· Safe, progressive rebuilding of core strength and pelvic floor

· Diastasis recti and C-section recovery adaptations

· Baby-inclusive yoga and connection practices

· That magic 15–20 minutes of yoga nidra where even the babies drift off

Join our genuine community and make lasting friendships.

Yoga For Birth Workshop

3 hours · £98 per mum-to-be (birth partner goes along free)

This is the workshop I wish every pregnant woman and her birth partner could attend. In three practical, hands-on hours, you will both leave informed, connected, calm and genuinely excited about the birth ahead ~ however it unfolds.

Drawing on over 20 years of experience as a yoga teacher, doula and antenatal educator, I share the full birth preparation toolkit ~ the breathing, the movement, the partner support, the biomechanics, what to do if things stall or baby gets stuck ~ the practical part to compliment the theory you’re learning in your regular antenatal classes.

What's covered:

  • Releasing fears and setting positive birth intentions

  • Birth breathing ~ hypno-birthing inspired techniques for every stage of labour

  • Evidenced-based yoga positions and movements to support baby positioning and create pelvic space to help labour progress

  • Biomechanics for birth ~ again evidence-based techniques on what to do if labour stalls or baby feels stuck

  • Rebozo shawl techniques ~ deeply relaxing in pregnancy and powerful in labour

  • Partner support and massage ~ practical skills for birth partners to feel calm and confident too

  • Guided beautiful birth visualisation to close

Make friends by joining your workshop’s private WhatsApp group and come along to monthly socials including picnics, coffee mornings, brunches, and walks & talks!

"I would highly recommend this workshop! My partner and I really couldn't recommend it enough, especially if you're feeling a bit anxious about labour. It felt really grounding and supportive."

Women’s Yoga

Saturdays 9.15–10.30am · The Loft, Little Dippers

A non-pregnancy, somatic yoga class, for women and mothers at every stage of life. From fertility through to menopause, and every season in between. Whether you're a former LushTums mum continuing your practice, or arriving for the first time, this is your weekly hour of genuine restoration.

We blend active and nourishing practices to reset the nervous system, reduce cortisol, lift mood, build strength and give you real, sustainable energy for the week ahead.

This is not a generic yoga class. It's a class that understands what a woman's body actually needs.
