It’s been a long while since posting, but I am happy to announce I’m back and running Mums & Tots Yoga on Friday mornings, 10am at The Joan Strong Centre, Oundle!

The focus is on postpartum recovery, specifically…

💫 Rebuilding core strength
💫 Strengthening the pelvic floor
💫 Correcting posture

Classes are suitable for anyone 6 weeks post vaginal birth/12 weeks post Caesarian (and signed off by a doctor).

🧘‍♀️ Don’t worry if you have zero yoga experience, I offer options for newbies and seasoned yogis alike!

Preschoolers, toddlers and babies welcome - an array of predominantly Montessori-inspired toys provided to keep them amused and engaged as you flow - although bringing some of your own toys recommended.

Two bouncers available for younger babies.

Yoga mats are not provided however I do have a couple of spares you can borrow if you forget!

☕️ 40 mins of flow yoga with teas, coffees, and chats after.

I’ve not been great at updating, when you’re relaxing and on holiday time flies and even with tonnes of free time I don’t feel like posting. I made this account for fun so I don’t ever post if I’m not feeling like it. We are almost halfway through our cruise, we have multiple days at sea during which time I am aiming to do self practise. I finally, finally, finally downloaded .moves as I had wanted to try ’s backbend method. I am working on my backbends and trying to deepen them whilst I have the time I can dedicate to them without being too tired to do anything like normal!

Had a sensational Vinyasa Level 2-3 class at this morning, full of deep backbends. I was always super afraid of backbends as I felt I would hurt myself and never practised them for years. When I started Dharma yoga I came to love backbends and realise they are perfectly safe if you take time and warm up fully! The studio at Desa Seni is stunning, the studio set in a beautiful tropical jungle garden. Nothing like hearing the sounds of nature as you practise.

Back to basics making shapes. My hammies have randomly been playing up this week, two months plus since I recovered from my serious right hamstring pull and left sensitivity probably from over compensation. I’m taking it easy for the next few days to prepare for Bali as I want to take full advantage of all the yoga offerings there!

I was taught a new posture the other day by my friend Selina, the queen of funky asanas. This is technically a Bird of Paradise pose flat on the mat, although we dubbed it the flattened lizard. You come to the posture from lizard lunge, and it helps if you imagine a lizard being steamrolled.

Bound lizard Lunge, or Utthan Pristhasana in my ! One of my favourite hip openers, adding in the bind transforms the posture to more of a balance, making it more challenging meaning the whole body has to be engaged.

Revolved Chapasana, or revolved sugarcane pose, getting easier every time I try. Revolved anything used to be my nemesis, I have a short torso so for me these postures are particularly challenging. Eventually however you learn how your body works and how it’s different from other bodies.

One of my fave postures, if you have ever been to my class you probably have done a called triangle. In the UK we exclusively called this ‘starburst twist’ and it took a few months to call it by the name it’s better known as here. At first floating the lower leg can seem impossible. I remember the first time I did came across this posture (as I strangely seem to do with most postures, does anyone else get this?!) and it was so impossible, let alone trying to float. Newbie tip, slide the lower foot away from you towards the back of the room and it’ll make it easier to lift. As you progress see if you can lift it straight up!

If you scroll fast enough back and forth through these you can make it look like I’m doing some kind of Russian Cossack dance. Malanasana, Garland Pose aka the Yogi Squat I was familiar with in the UK but its bound variations were new to me when I came to Singapore. Pressing the weight down equally over both feet is the biggest challenge. Deep chest rotations are my goal.
