Before pregnancy

Pre-Conception

FAQs

what it is?

Preconception yoga therapy is a one-to-one therapeutic programme designed to prepare your body and mind for pregnancy — or simply to support deep hormonal and nervous system health at this stage of life. It’s for anyone who is thinking about starting a family, actively trying to conceive, navigating fertility challenges, or wanting to arrive at pregnancy feeling as whole and resourced as possible.

You don’t need to be actively trying to conceive to benefit. Many women come simply because they want to feel better in their bodies before pregnancy.

A yoga class gives everyone the same sequence. Preconception yoga therapy is entirely one-to-one and built around your body, your cycle, your health history, and your goals. Sessions are adaptive — responding to where you are in your cycle, how your body is feeling, and what your nervous system needs that week.

Fertility & cycles

Yoga therapy can support the conditions in which conception is more likely — by reducing chronic stress, regulating the nervous system, supporting hormonal balance, improving sleep, and helping you develop a deeper awareness of your cycle. It is not a fertility treatment, and we work collaboratively with any fertility specialists or reproductive health practitioners you are already seeing.

We never make fertility guarantees. What we offer is a deeply supportive practice for your whole self — which creates the best possible foundation.

Yes — yoga therapy can be genuinely supportive for both conditions. For PCOS, we focus on stress reduction, nervous system regulation, and cycle-synced movement. For endometriosis, we work with pain management, pelvic floor awareness, and restorative practice during symptomatic phases. Sessions are always adapted to where you are on any given day, and we work alongside your medical team.

Yes, and many clients find yoga therapy to be one of the most supportive things they can do during fertility treatment — both physically and emotionally. We adapt practices carefully around treatment protocols, medication phases, and transfer timing. Please share your treatment schedule and we’ll design your practice accordingly.

We always defer to your fertility clinic’s guidance, especially around transfer windows and early post-transfer days.
Body & mind prep

Each session begins with a short check-in about where you are in your cycle and how you’re feeling. From there we move into a practice tailored to that phase — which might include breath regulation, cycle-synced movement, pelvic floor awareness, restorative postures, or yoga nidra for deep rest. Sessions close with a short reflection and a simple home practice to take away.

The menstrual cycle moves through four distinct phases — menstrual, follicular, ovulatory and luteal — each with different hormonal profiles, energy levels, and needs. Cycle-synced yoga therapy matches the style, intensity and focus of your practice to each phase: rest and restoration during menstruation, building energy in the follicular phase, dynamic movement around ovulation, and grounding practices in the luteal phase. Over time, this builds an intuitive relationship with your body’s rhythms.

Many clients say this is the first time they’ve felt their cycle as a resource rather than a problem.

Absolutely — and this is one of the most common reasons clients come to us. The emotional weight of trying to conceive can be profound, and chronic stress has a measurable effect on hormonal health. Our sessions create a genuinely supportive space where you can put that weight down for a while, and where you’ll learn tools — breath, movement, awareness — that help you regulate between sessions.

Practical information

Any time — there’s no ideal start point. Some clients begin six to twelve months before actively trying; others come because they want to feel better in their bodies right now. Starting earlier gives more time to build a home practice and address any patterns before pregnancy, but beginning at any stage brings real benefit.

This varies by person and goal. Most clients find a rhythm of weekly or fortnightly sessions, with many choosing to continue through into their pregnancy once it begins. A minimum of four to six sessions gives a solid foundation, and many clients continue as an ongoing practice.

We offer single sessions and packages — you choose what works for you, without pressure to commit upfront.

Yes — all sessions are available online via video call and are just as effective as in-person. You’ll need a quiet space, a mat or soft surface, and a device with a camera. Many clients appreciate the flexibility of online sessions, especially when factoring in cycle phases where travel feels like a lot.

During pregnancy

Pre-Natal

FAQs

what it is?

Prenatal yoga therapy is a one-to-one therapeutic practice built around your specific pregnancy, body, symptoms, and concerns. Unlike a group prenatal class — where the teacher offers a generalised sequence — every session here is designed for you alone. The focus, pace, and content shift with each trimester and each week, adapting to how you feel right now.

In a group class you keep up with the room. In yoga therapy, the room keeps up with you.

None at all. Many clients come having never done yoga before. Prenatal yoga therapy is not about performing poses — it’s a therapeutic process that uses movement, breath, and body awareness as tools for your health and wellbeing. Wherever you’re starting from is exactly the right place.

At any stage. Many clients begin in the first trimester to manage nausea, fatigue, and early anxiety. Others join in the second trimester when energy returns and the body is changing most noticeably. It’s never too late — beginning at 34 or 36 weeks still brings real benefit for birth preparation and recovery.

If you have a high-risk pregnancy, please check with your midwife or obstetrician before starting. We’re happy to liaise with your care team directly.
Trimesters

Each trimester has its own focus. In the first trimester we prioritise grounding, rest, and gentle nervous system support — navigating fatigue, nausea, and the emotional enormity of early pregnancy. In the second trimester we build strength, address postural changes, and start pelvic floor preparation. In the third trimester the focus shifts to birth preparation, optimal baby positioning, breath techniques for labour, and practices that support the final weeks of pregnancy.

Yes — and first trimester is one of the best times to begin. We adapt the practice completely to your energy levels. Sessions may be shorter, gentler, and more restorative. Even fifteen minutes of breath awareness and supported rest is therapeutic. You don’t need to do much — you need to do the right things.

Pain & discomfort

Yes — this is one of the most common reasons clients come to us during pregnancy. Targeted therapeutic movement, breath-based pain modulation, and postural re-education can bring significant relief for back pain, pelvic girdle pain, hip tension, rib tightness, and sciatica. We work carefully within safe parameters for your stage of pregnancy.

Many clients find meaningful relief within two to three sessions — even for conditions they’d been told simply come with the territory.

Common conditions we work with include: lower back pain and sciatica, pelvic girdle pain (PGP/SPD), round ligament pain, rib tension and breathlessness, carpal tunnel symptoms, insomnia and fatigue, heartburn aggravated by posture, swelling and circulation, perinatal anxiety, and the emotional complexity of pregnancy after loss. If you’re unsure whether your specific condition is something we can help with, just ask.

Birth preparation

Birth preparation is central to our prenatal work. We teach breath techniques for each stage of labour, movement and positions to keep your baby well-positioned, tools for managing pain and anxiety during contractions, and practices for staying present when intensity peaks. We also cover what to pack in your birth bag in terms of breath and movement resources — things you’ll actually use.

Partners are welcome to join a session to learn how to support you — hands-on positioning, breathing cues, and calming techniques they can use throughout labour.

Yes — and this is more common than many people say out loud. Tokophobia (fear of birth) and general birth anxiety are something we address with sensitivity and without pressure. A combination of nervous system regulation, breath practices, gradual exposure through visualisation, and building trust in your body can make a profound difference to how you feel as your due date approaches.

 
 

Yes, and we would work with particular care and sensitivity. Previous birth trauma can shape how you feel about your current pregnancy in ways that deserve acknowledgment and support. Sessions create space for that — at your pace, without pressure. We may suggest working alongside a perinatal therapist or counsellor if appropriate, and we are happy to be part of that wider care team.

Your emotional experience of this pregnancy is as important as your physical one. Both are held here.
Practical info

Most clients attend sessions two to three times per week, especially when seeking consistent support, deeper therapeutic progress, or focused birth preparation in the third trimester. Others may choose a weekly rhythm depending on their schedule and needs. After your initial session, we’ll discuss a frequency that best supports your goals, lifestyle, and stage of journey.

Yes — and we encourage it. Partners are welcome to join prenatal sessions, especially those focused on birth preparation, breathing practices, relaxation techniques, and ways to support you during pregnancy and labour.

Many couples find that attending a session together helps them feel more connected, informed, and confident as they prepare for birth as a team. It also creates space for shared understanding around the physical, emotional, and practical changes that pregnancy brings.

For the vast majority of clients, yes. You’ll need a yoga mat or soft surface, loose comfortable clothing, and a device propped at eye level. The therapeutic relationship, breath practices, movement guidance, and home practice recordings are all fully available online. Many clients in the third trimester actually prefer online sessions — the commute can be a lot when you’re heavily pregnant.

After pregnancy

Post-Natal

FAQs

what it is?

Postnatal yoga therapy is a one-to-one therapeutic practice designed entirely around your recovery — your birth experience, your body, your timeline, and your emotional landscape. Unlike a postnatal class, there is no sequence everyone follows together. Your sessions are built around what your body specifically needs, whether that’s pelvic floor rehabilitation, diastasis recti work, nervous system regulation, or simply a space to decompress and come home to yourself.

There is no ‘bounce back’ culture here. Recovery is not a race, and your programme reflects that.

This depends on your birth experience. After an uncomplicated vaginal birth, gentle breathwork and pelvic floor awareness can often begin within the first one to two weeks. After a caesarean birth or more complex delivery, we generally wait until six weeks and clearance from your midwife or GP — though a planning call can happen at any time. There is no upper limit: postnatal yoga therapy is relevant and beneficial months or even years after birth.

We never rush your return. Your recovery timeline is your own and we meet you exactly where you are.

Absolutely — especially in the early weeks and months. We fully expect and welcome babies in sessions. We build in flexibility for feeding, settling, and all the wonderful unpredictability of new parenthood. Sessions are never rushed. As your baby grows and you have more independent time, we can also offer sessions without them.

Physical recovery

Pelvic floor recovery is central to all postnatal work. We begin with breath-led pelvic floor awareness — learning to feel and connect with these muscles rather than simply squeeze them. From there we progress gradually and safely through rehabilitation stages, building coordination, strength, and endurance over time. We work alongside women’s health physiotherapists where relevant and always defer to specialist advice.

Diastasis recti (abdominal separation) is very common — and far more manageable than many people are told. Yoga therapy takes a specific, progressive approach: beginning with breath and deep core restoration before introducing any load-bearing movement. We avoid exercises that increase intra-abdominal pressure too early (sit-ups, crunches, many traditional ‘core’ exercises) and instead build from the inside out.

Assessment is included in your intake. If we identify significant separation, we may recommend a joint session with a women’s health physio before progressing.

Yes — and C-section recovery has specific needs that general postnatal advice often misses. We work with breath reintegration (your breathing pattern changes significantly after abdominal surgery), scar tissue mobility once healing is confirmed, gradual core reconnection, and addressing the postural compensations that often develop after a caesarean. We always follow medical guidance on timing.

This is one of the most universal complaints in the postnatal period — and one of the most satisfying to address. We use targeted therapeutic movement, breath-based tension release, and postural retraining to restore ease in the upper body. We also look at feeding positions and carrying habits so you’re not rebuilding tension between sessions.

Emotional wellbeing

Yes — this is some of the most important work we do. The postnatal period can bring anxiety, emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, grief for your pre-baby self, and in some cases postnatal depression. Yoga therapy works gently with the nervous system — through breath, somatic body awareness, and restorative practice — to support regulation, rest, and a sense of coming home to yourself. It is not a replacement for professional mental health support, but a meaningful and compassionate complement.

If you are experiencing postnatal depression or significant anxiety, please speak with your GP or midwife first. We are happy to work as part of your wider support team.

With great sensitivity, yes. Birth trauma is real, common, and profoundly underacknowledged. Yoga therapy offers a body-based space to begin processing what happened — gently, without pressure, and without requiring you to retell your story in ways that feel harmful. We may work alongside a perinatal therapist or trauma-informed counsellor, and we’ll always follow your lead on pace and depth.

You never have to share more than you’re comfortable with. Your experience will always be met with care.

Yes — and it’s something we hear more than almost anything else. The identity shift of becoming a mother is enormous and often unspoken. Yoga therapy offers a space that is genuinely yours: not about your baby, not about recovery metrics, but about you — your body, your breath, your sense of self.

Coaching can support this process deeply as well, helping you navigate the emotional, mental, and identity changes that often come with motherhood. Together, yoga therapy and coaching create space not only for physical recovery, but for reconnecting with yourself, rebuilding confidence, and finding steadiness through a major life transition.

Many clients describe it as one of the first times since birth they’ve felt like a person again — not just a mother.

Birth preparation

Birth preparation is central to our prenatal work. We teach breath techniques for each stage of labour, movement and positions to keep your baby well-positioned, tools for managing pain and anxiety during contractions, and practices for staying present when intensity peaks. We also cover what to pack in your birth bag in terms of breath and movement resources — things you’ll actually use.

Partners are welcome to join a session to learn how to support you — hands-on positioning, breathing cues, and calming techniques they can use throughout labour.

Yes — and this is more common than many people say out loud. Tokophobia (fear of birth) and general birth anxiety are something we address with sensitivity and without pressure. A combination of nervous system regulation, breath practices, gradual exposure through visualisation, and building trust in your body can make a profound difference to how you feel as your due date approaches.

 
 

Yes, and we would work with particular care and sensitivity. Previous birth trauma can shape how you feel about your current pregnancy in ways that deserve acknowledgment and support. Sessions create space for that — at your pace, without pressure. We may suggest working alongside a perinatal therapist or counsellor if appropriate, and we are happy to be part of that wider care team.

Your emotional experience of this pregnancy is as important as your physical one. Both are held here.
Practical info

We typically begin gentle breath and pelvic floor awareness work around four to six weeks post-caesarean, pending clearance from your midwife or GP. Full movement sessions begin progressively after that. Scar tissue work can usually begin from around eight weeks once the wound is fully healed. We will always check in about your healing before progressing.

There’s no fixed answer. Many clients begin with a focused six-to-eight session block for a specific concern (pelvic floor rehabilitation, diastasis recti, early recovery). Others choose to work through the first year of motherhood as an ongoing practice. After your first session, we’ll suggest a realistic rhythm together.

We offer single sessions and programme packages — you choose what works for your life and budget.

Yes — and we encourage it. Partners are welcome to join sessions focused on home practice guidance, nervous system tools for the household, or postnatal recovery exercises you’d like to share. Some couples find a joint session early in the postnatal period helps them understand the recovery process together and builds realistic mutual expectations.
