Are you looking for a holistic approach to your health and wellbeing? We’re here to help.
Ill health and chronic injury are often compounded by multiple contributing factors and who knows this better than mums?! Not only do we deal with the physical challenges following pregnancy and childbirth, but we enter into an environment that is not particularly conducive to effective healing ~ disturbed sleep, stress, anxiety, depression, exhaustion, and so on.
Every mother’s journey is different, as is her healing. Even if your circumstances were identical to that of another, your experience, reaction and effects may be vastly different.
For this reason yoga therapy engages a holistic approach, treating you as the individual, the whole person, rather than the condition.
We are Yoga Therapists, teachers, pre & postnatal specialists as well as busy mamas. We understand first hand the challenges mums face and that every mother’s journey and experience is unique and individual.
A big belief of ours is that as busy mamas we can have it all. When we choose to live our life from a place of ease & grace, living in the flow of life rather than against it. We use the tools of yoga to achieve this.

- Reduce stress
