I'm going to be starting a new class in March at Stroud Yoga Space. It will be a class specifically for mums (dads welcome too) and babies.
The 'baby and me' (often called Mummy and Me) classes are essentially yoga for you that incorporates your baby. The classes are great way to meet other mums and give you some time to focus on your body and well-being post-natally, and babies love it too! It's generally best not to practice until at least 6 weeks after giving birth, and babies up until crawling are welcome - after this stage it can tend to get a bit hectic!
If you're interested in attending please email me as spaces are limited.
Classes will be on Thursdays 11.30 - 12.30 (time still tbc though) at Stroud Yoga Space.
Hope to see you there!

Downward Dog, A Yogi's Best Friend
Downward dog, Adho Mukha Svanasana, is one of those asanas that you will practice in virtually every yoga class you attend. But how often do you have the time in class to really understand the ins and outs of this key posture?
This workshop provides the time and space to be able to explore all that downward dog has to offer. It's a posture that can be practised to deepen the breath and calm the mind, while also helping to create space and strength through the whole of the body. Downward dog works along the entire length of the body, from the crown of the head to the heels of the feet.
In this hour-and-a-half workshop we will explore: - the benefits of down dog - the correct alignment - modifications to get the most out of your down dog - prana/energy and the bandhas in down dog (this includes working the core and the pelvic floor) - variations such as one legged down dog - stepping and jumping through If you already practice yoga but want to maximise the benefits of this posture, then sign up to this workshop on Sunday 24th March at Stroud Yoga Space. I hope it will be insightful and a chance to play with a yogi's best friend, the downward dog.

Date: Sunday 24 March 2013 Time: 11.00am - 12.30pm Cost: £10 (payable in advance) Venue: Stroud Yoga Space |
