The Fourth Trimester (class 2)

The Fourth Trimester 

Our face-to-face class offers an in-depth look at everyday newborn care, ensuring you feel prepared and empowered as a new parent:

The fourth trimester is not just the first few days or weeks after having a baby.

Evidence shows that your body and mind are evolving and changing for at least 4 months after giving birth.

I believe that this period in time is unique to you and your baby. Healing and transformation into motherhood takes years not days or weeks.

It is only when we learn to look after ourselves and nurture our mind and body that we can be the parents we long to be.

Although my class has a core practical aspect I am based in a yoga studio which gives me the opportunity to work with you as pregnant couples in a different way than traditional classes.

Each class is bespoke to suit the needs of those attending. From skin to skin to Postnatal exercise and relaxation techniques and Breathwork.
