A yoga or exercise mat is essential, along with comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. A blanket or cozy sweater can be helpful for the end of class when your body naturally cools down during relaxation. I do have a limited number of mats and props available on a first-come, first-served basis, so bringing your own is recommended.

Not at all! Yoga is for everyone—no matter your age, size, gender, or fitness level. Every body is welcome!

Yoga offers numerous benefits, including:
Enhancing mobility, strength, balance, and flexibility
Providing time for self-care
Complementing other fitness activities
Reducing stress and anxiety
Improving sleep quality
Preventing and aiding recovery from injuries
Alleviating back pain
Boosting the immune system
Enhancing focus and concentration
Soothing digestive issues like IBS
Different poses and practices affect the body in various ways. For instance, forward folds and standing poses can have a calming effect, backbends can be invigorating, twists can aid digestion, and breathwork (pranayama) can help reduce anxiety.
Yoga builds a heightened feeling of positivity, and deeply relaxing and rejuvenating your whole being.
The word ‘Yoga’ means ‘Union’ between body, mind and our interconnectedness with all of life.
Yoga reminds us who we are when we connect with stillness.

Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and allows you to move easily. Many people prefer leggings or shorts and a fitted top that won’t slip over your head during forward bends.

You don’t need to touch your toes or be super flexible to practice yoga. My classes are accessible to all fitness levels.

While going barefoot can help prevent slipping, it’s entirely up to you. If you feel more comfortable keeping your socks on, that’s perfectly fine.

No need to stress—sweat and farts are part of life, especially in yoga! Everyone farts in yoga, have a little laugh or just ignore it—chances are no one will even notice.
As for sweat, it’s totally normal, especially in a physical class. As long as you’re not flicking sweat onto your neighbors, you’re good. Arrive clean and and make sure your feet and armpits are fresh. Skip the strong perfumes or colognes, though, as it can be distracting for other students.
Relax, we’re all human here!

Congratulations! If you have practiced yoga before, you are welcome to attend yoga for mums sessions at the beginning of your pregnancy - though you might be far too tired / nauseous to do so! After this time, it would be best to attend a pregnancy yoga class, where all the postures and practices are perfect for your growing bump. Join my newsletter at the bottom of this page to be notified when I start pregnancy yoga classes.

I know that being responsible for others, especially when caring for little ones, can require us to be ‘on’ at al l times! Sometimes, it's necessary to keep our phones close by, particularly if our child is unwell. However, this time is for you, so whenever possible, it can be incredibly helpful to set the phone aside, maybe even switch it off, so you can truly be in a space for rest and reflection.
