Why Postpartum Yoga?

It’s good for your postpartum recovery and mental health. We understand that it takes some time to regain strength in early postpartum. We encourage you to slowly begin physical activity and always listen to your body. As you begin to heal and gain strength, you will feel better and be able to do more as time goes by. We’re here to support you.

Yoga Nidra

For all Mamas!

Are you exhausted from late night feedings and endless diaper changes? You need Yoga Nidra. It’s Yogic Sleep!

Learn more

Yoga Nidra is a state in which the body is completely relaxed, and the student becomes systematically and increasingly aware of her inner world by following a set of verbal instructions. This practice can be done in bed, and during the first 6 weeks after child birth or any other time you need to feel rejuvenated. Simply find a comfortable position, make sure you’re warm enough and we’ll do the rest. One hour of Yoga Nidra can be as restorative as four hours of sleep. Imagine that? You will feel refreshed and relaxed!

This is a deeply restorative meditative practice, designed to release and open the body.

This nurturing practice of yoga poses, props, breathwork, and mindfulness encourages inward focus, whilst deepening mental and physical strength. It’s perfect for stressed and fatigued mamas.
