The yoga, both physical, mental and emotional, will back some of your confidence for both mind and spirit. With postural and pelvic floor awareness this is a great opportunity to get to know your body again in a very safe and non judgemental environment.

It can offer the baby a dynamic and active class for the days that the baby is alert and needs stimulating or a relaxing calm class for quieter days.
