Yoga is a wonderful way of looking after yourself after the birth of your baby. The classes include special activities to bond with your baby, yoga for you, and time to connect with other mothers.
Stay strong and release tension. The classes are specifically designed for the postnatal months to help your body regain strength and tone in a safe and effective way. The emphasis is on strengthening the pelvic floor, the abdomen, legs, and back as well as on opening and relapsing tensions and tightness in the shoulders, neck, and arms from feeding and carrying your baby.
Finding emotional balance. Yoga relaxes the nervous system and brings balance to the endocrine system (hormonal balance). It helps to create a balance between your body's physical needs and your emotional state. The yoga taught in these classes is gentle and slow, giving you time to integrate the experiences of your body after birth.
Baby bonding time. We make time to bond with your baby by placing the baby in the center of the experience, thereby helping the attachment between carer and baby blossom.
Meet other like minded mums. These classes are baby centred so you can attend to your baby's needs either by feeding, changing, holding, or generally reassuring them in your presence. With the support of others, you will be able to develop a balance between doing yoga for yourself and meeting the needs of your baby.
Prenatal Yoga
At the HUB Bairnsdale, 27 Dalmahoy Street, room 7

Pregnancy is a special time to connect, trust and explore your body. Yoga is invaluable throughout pregnancy. Woman are encouraged to connect to their intuition and instinct as their first and foremost guide for a safe practice. This will help them connect with their initiate birthing wisdom. The classes are a balance of active and meditative practices. Woman are welcome to leave a pose out and rest whenever they need to. This is not like the usual yoga you might have experienced before as your body is changing and we explore how to flow with the changes.
Enjoy your practice during this special time! The overall approach to asana is to emphasise strength and stability, postural alignment, embodiment, alongside flowing circling movement connected to the breath.
Please bring your own yoga mat and props like blankets, bolster or cushions and blocks if you have them. Let me know if you don’t have any yoga gear and I can provide some.

108 Surya Namaskar (Sun salutations)
Spring is the seasons where new beginnings and productivity are welcomed.
If you are into yoga, ‘108 sun salutations’ is something that you must have heard of or are interested in. 108 rounds of traditional Surya Namaskar is an intense workout. 108 is a daunting number. But it is possible. When you find the rhythm of your breath with your body, the number seems to fall away and you become entrenched in a moving meditation. It is a highly satisfying and transformative experience that you must try once.
Benefits:
*It uplifts the energetic levels of the body
*It aids in the detoxification process
*Facilitates the flow of prana
*Provides psychological and spiritual benefits
*Pent-up emotions are released while practicing 108 suryas
*It boosts physical and mental stamina and strength
Yin Yoga & Sound Meditation + nutritious south Indian feast
Yin Yoga classes will be focusing on the digestive system and gentle movement to support the process to reflect, detox, deep stretching, reflection, relaxation and emotional equilibrium.
The Sound Meditation is a type of meditation that uses sound to help calm one’s body and mind and promote a sense of overall well-being. It uses focused awareness on the vibrations of sound to help people relax and meditate to promote self-inquiry and journey inwards through a soundscape of high vibrational sound bowls, Kalimbah, Koshi Chimes and guitar & voice.
Vegetarian ayurvedic Feast
Ayurveda and Yoga have a symbiotic relationship, each helping the other to enhance its own benefits.
Meals will be deliciously prepared according to ayurvedic principles. The menu is designed to offer a taste of Southern India (Samosas, Idlies, variety of curries, spiced rice, cakes...) that also benefits the detox process.
