Every child brought into this world represents a Bright Beginning. A bundle full of innocence and possibility. Those first few weeks of the postnatal period can be a rollercoaster ride of ecstatic highs of joy followed by heavy fogs of fatigue and overwhelm.
Babies do not develop an understanding of themselves as a separate being until around 6 months old (which explains why your personal space seems to have disappeared overnight). For this reason, practising Postnatal Yoga will benefit your baby just as much as it will you.
Bright Beginnings approaches postnatal yoga from a place of compassion. Rather than rushing to rediscover your pre-baby body, or regain your pre-pregnancy exercise regime, there is a focus on practicality and accessibility. Parents, you are supported to nurture yourself and your babies as you adjust to your new roles.
The format of each class is adapted on the day to suit the temperament and needs of the babies (and the parents).
What you Will Experience
Your first class will provide the opportunity to discuss your pregnancy, birth and early postpartum and offer supportive practices for whatever this journey has brought up for you.
Then, across your remaining transformative sessions, we will take you on a postnatal yoga experience designed to support and uplift your transition into parenthood:
Regathering - recalibrating after one of the biggest transitions of your life
Reconnecting - finding steadiness, stability and a new flow
Rebuilding - redefining time, learning about pressure management
Re-emerging - stepping into your redefined power and creativity
Improved health and wellbeing could be the greatest gift you can give. Consider gifting some Yoga, Coaching or Bowen Therapy to the new parent or parent-to-be in your life, or if you are pregnant, perhaps put a hint out for your baby shower or blessing.

What Students are Saying
“An incredible program to join postpartum. I was worried about how much I could do, taking baby out and about with me but Claire is amazing! Such a welcoming, safe space. Class was adaptable for both me and bub and relearning how to move your body post baby in small safe ways.
I would recommend this to every mum, don’t worry if you haven’t experienced yoga before.”
