when to practise

It is important to rest initially. The first 6 weeks after birth are a time for bonding with your baby and for the mother to recover. After postnatal week 8, women are typically ready to return to their regular practice, but it is important to listen to what your body is ready to do. Women with a yoga practice prior to pregnancy should be careful and not rush back into their usual yoga practice. Consult your GP for advice on when to resume practising.

Note:  Please arrive 10 minutes prior to class start time.  Please remove shoes in hallway.
