WHAT TO BRING

Yoga is practised in bare feet so it is nice to bring your own mat.  Mats are available in a variety of colours for $25 each.

Bring a blanket and nappy bag for the baby (and anything you would normally need).  Slings are encouraged as they will enable you to do continue your yoga if the baby wants to be held or sleep in your arms.

 

“For me, a first time mum, post natal yoga has been invaluable.  Not just on a physical, mental & emotional level, but being in an environment which calms me, enabled me to connect to my baby & assist with settling him easier.  Tara’s approach to the classes gave me knowledge & the confidence to be the best mum I can.  I love Monday mornings :) ” Amanda and Finn

“The most important thing that I learnt is being in the moment, being relaxed and at ease and also from the mother’s group knowing that everyone goes through the same things as a mum and that we are doing well by following our instincts.”  Pooja

“I really enjoyed the social aspect of the group. It’s been lovely doing some yoga followed by a cuppa and chat with lovely ladies, the format of the morning is really great. I love the flexibility of the class and how understanding everyone is if you happen to have a grumpy bub at times!

The yoga itself is also great, I always feel so positive after the classes!   Looking forward to another 6 weeks!”  Billie
