What is Postnatal Yoga?
A class just for mothers, this postnatal yoga course focuses on closing the body after birth and enabling the mother to gradually and steadily regain her strength and energy at this demanding time in her life. Every class will incorporate breathing exercises (pranayama), asana (posture) and body-conditioning exercises. After one hour of yoga, we end with fifteen minutes of healing deep relaxation which will encourage you to sleep well and reduce fatigue.


What the classes cover:
  • abdominal core strengthening
  • pelvic closing and strengthening
  • stamina building
  • postural realignment
  • yogic beathing
  • space and time to connect with other new mothers
"Hi Lon, Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed last night's class. The poses were absolutely perfect for me, and have soothed away all the aches and pains I brought to the class. The relaxation also really worked for me - at the end of your guidance I felt like I was floating above the ground... And on top of that I had the best night's sleep I have had in weeks - thank you!"

After the nine months it has taken for you to grow your baby, it takes time to ‘reclaim’ your body. For all mothers and babies this is a period of great adjustment and in the yogic traditions the first 12 weeks or so is referred to as the fourth trimester...and for good reason! An early gentle approach that focuses on closing the body, stabilising the pelvis, toning the pelvic floor, re-aligning the spine and reconnecting with the abdominals helps you to feel strong and steady in this time of enormous change and transformation. If you nurture yourself properly through the fourth trimester you will reap the benefits and feel energised. If you push too hard in the early weeks you can end up depleting your precious energy reserves. It pays to be patient!

You can start the classes when you are ready and Lon may suggest certain practices to do at home to help the postnatal recovery. As the weeks go by and your energy levels build, the practices will get stronger to reflect that.

Note: You can start Postnatal Yoga from 6/8 weeks after birth (the class is for mothers only not mothers & babies!).


Please Note:
  • Places can be cancelled up to two weeks prior with full refund; any cancellations thereafter will not be refunded. The only exception to this rule is a cancellation due to an early birth.
