Staying active in pregnancy

Instagram

I am looking forward to welcoming some new students to my pregnancy yoga classes this month. There is a new block starting on Saturday 23 November if you are pregnant and would like to join us. It is a really relaxing, gentle class and we practice beautiful pregnancy flows and lots and lots of breathing. I feel like I get to witness so many magical things happening and I particularly love it when a women who arrived feeling anxious leaves looking relaxed and feeling empowered. It is a joy to teach you all. #pregnancy #pregnancyyoga #prenatalyoga #yogashrewsbury #shrewsbury #yogamama #yogagirl #myyogapractice #myyogalife #yogini #breathofthewild #practiceeveryday

Flowing into half term! We all need a break so badly! Looking forward to a weekend away with old friends and then a week of lazy days in Shropshire, collecting autumn leaves, drinking tea, doodling in our sketch books and catching our breath. I am loving the longer evenings with the woodburner and my books (currently alternating the new Atwood and a collection of Mary Oliver poems I bought in Hay last week - bliss). Happy days. This weekend is the last chance to get earlybird tickets to the next Flow Club, on Friday 8 November, so grab tickets if you would like to come. #flowclub #yoga #yogashrewsbury #yogagirl #yogamama #yogateacher #myyogalife #yogaeveryday #autumnyoga #doyouyoga #slowflow

I’d love to see you there. Book tickets on my website. #flowclub #victoriamawyoga #yogaeverydamnday #yogagirl #yogamama #yogateacher #myyogalife #myyogapractice #shrewsbury #shrewsburyyoga #yogaflow

Thank you so much to everyone who came to my sold out September Flow Club last night. It was such a JOY to teach you all. There was beautiful energy in the room and I loved teaching my autumn equinox flow to you all. Thanks for supporting me and being such a great crowd of people. October date will be announced next week. And here I am warming up, and enjoying the playlist! I’ll post that up on my website too.

The seasons are a-shifting. I love this time of year. In fact, I’ve been so excited about autumn, that I was caught out several times last week by the warm afternoons, in my haste to get out my chunky jumpers and dungarees. Whilst it may be a time to get ready to put on more layers of clothing, mentally, it feels like a time to shed what we do not need. A time to shake off anything we are hanging onto that does not serve us or is weighing us down. We’ll be doing just this at Flow Club on Friday, shaking off the old and preparing for autumn, with some twists to wring out the body and a gently energising flow to soothe and clear the mind. A lovely crowd of people booked in and a few tickets left. Book in via my website, link in bio. oh, and the picture is from my stay at beautiful Fforest. It has been a wonderful summer. #flowclub #yogagirl #yogamama #yogateacher #myyogalife #autumn #shiftingseasons #seasonalflow #yogaforautumn #shrewsburyyoga #shrewsbury #thisisyoga #yogadays

Practicing when and wherever I can... I always try and sneak in a little practice on Saturday mornings at the Buddhist centre, before I welcome my pregnant yogis. It’s lovely and warm and on Saturday, the sunlight was flooding in. Teaching on Saturday mornings is a really blissful way to start the weekend. I’m an early riser so I love the mornings and the promise they offer. Just ten or 15 mins of movement sets me up for the day. It would be nice to do more, and often I do, but we can all get so much from just a little bit of movement. And if the day flows better because of it....well then it is always worth it.

Of all the things I teach in my pregnancy yoga classes, it is the breathing practices that people tend to find the most useful. So many ladies come back to me and say just how much golden thread and birthing breath helped in labour. So we do lots and lots of practice. Then these breaths feel intuitive. Your body knows what to do and many women will find these breathing patterns without realising. But some of us need a little more help. So if we practice them in pregnancy, we have them in our imaginary tool kit. The idea is to empower women so they know that they have all the tools they need. No fancy gadgets. Just your beautiful breath.

One of the most wonderful things about being a pregnancy yoga teacher is getting sent pictures of the babies. I get so excited when I receive news of safe arrivals with tales of births, always accompanied by pictures of perfectly wonderful babies. It is totally joyful and uplifting. I was pondering this today as I replied to one of my students who had sent such an email over the weekend. I feel so lucky to teach you all. This baby here, I should add, is my own - Fleur at just a couple of days old! I’ve got a new block of pregnancy classes starting on 5 October. I have a lot of ladies in the late stages of their 3rd trimester who I shall be saying goodbye to and I’m looking forward to welcoming in some new students in the earlier stages of their pregnancy. It always amazes me how one day I am meeting someone with a tiny 16 week bump and seemingly only moments later they are sitting in front of me, full term, and about to become mothers or second or third time mothers! It is such a privilege to teach you all.

Flow Club is back! After a break for the summer holidays, I am so excited to announce that September Flow Club will be held on Friday 27 September at the beautiful Shrewsbury Buddhist Centre. We’ll be celebrating the shift in seasons with an energising flow to welcome in the autumn. Expect beautiful sequences, good tunes, a long relaxation and chai and cakes for afters. Earlybird tickets are available on my website now. 7:30 - 9:30pm. Tickets sell quickly so book in while you can.
