Join me to support yourself physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically in this special online class. Allow yourself to take deep and healing rest as you are guided through gentle movements, breath practices and a nurturing Yoga Nidra to restore, rebalance and revitalise. Accessing the replay of this class online allows you to show up as you need to, in your pyjamas, with or without children in tow, and almost most importantly with the ability to tuck yourself into bed as you relax with Yoga Nidra at the end of the practice! In this way, you can drift into deep relaxation and sleep without disturbing yourself at the end of the practice!

  • Are craving time and space for yourself, away from the hamster wheel of your life and your ‘to do’ list!

  • Need to find space mentally and calm your mind.

  • Know you have a deep need to rest, restore and revitalise.

Research shows one in five women will experience a perinatal mental health condition, whether this is depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and/or an eating disorder. In addition, around 70% of women will hide or underplay maternal mental health difficulties.

Yoga can help support our mental health by connecting us to the present moment. Movement, breath work and meditation help to regulate our nervous system, which creates a sense of balance and steadiness. In addition, various yoga practices can help to regulate our endocrine system, responsible for hormone production. The practice of Yoga Nidra (or yogic sleep) has been shown to change the activity of the brain from an active state to one that mimics deep sleep. As the activity of the brain changes serotonin is released, helping to create a sense of calm and relaxation. In this way the practice can offer an opportunity for deep and healing rest, something that is so needed in pregnancy, the postnatal period and on our mothering journey.
