Postnatal Mum & Baby Yoga offers gentle movement and relaxation to support your recovery after birth while creating special bonding time with your baby. Classes focus on strengthening and restoring your postnatal body, easing tension, and boosting wellbeing. At the same time, they provide a welcoming space to connect with other new mums, share experiences, …
Family Flow postnatal classes are designed to support mum’s postnatal recovery both physically and emotionally. These classes help mum strengthen from the inside out and safely recover the pelvic floor and deep core. The classes also provide a space for mums to meet new friends, continue their journey with friends made at my pregnancy yoga classes and provide a space to share with other mummies.
Postnatal yoga also helps to relieve the discomfort caused by tricky feeding or sleeping positions, regain strength in the body, promotes relaxation and helps to support you through your postnatal recovery. Classes also include practices for the babies with some baby yoga and baby massage included and is a lovely way to make time to bond with your baby! And we always finish with a cuppa and chat so you get to connect in with other mums.
These classes are relaxed, fun and nourishing and allow for the opportunity to feed, soothe, and change your baby as and when needed.
Classes are suitable from six weeks following a vaginal birth and eight weeks following an abdominal birth. It is always recommended that you get the all clear from your doctor at your 6 week postnatal check. Ask your doctor to check if you have Diastasis Recti (separated abdominal tummy muscles) as this is useful to know when attending class.
Classes are suitable up until baby is on the move. If you have had your baby a year ago or more and never included a dedicated postnatal recovery class and experience lower back ache or sneeze wee then these classes can help your on-going recovery.
These classes mix ancient and tradition yoga practices with the latest in evidenced based research. My qualification was completed with LushTums the UKs leading expert leading provider of yoga for expectant women, mums, and their families. And I am registered with FEDANT – the Federation of Antenatal Educators.
And look forward to welcoming you and your baby onto the mat!
"The class and Nicola are lovely. I was put at ease straightaway and I’m a complete novice with yoga but I’m enjoying every part of it and you can see all the babies love it too. I look forward to going every week and taking part and learning, thanks to Nicola’s expertise"
"My little one and I are on month 6 of our yoga sessions with Nicola and we absolutely love it. Nicola is a very supportive and knowledgeable teacher; your postnatal body will be in good hands. I find the class so uplifting and its great to meet other mums and babies of different ages"
