YOGA AND WELLBEING FOR ALL STAGES OF WOMANHOOD

Yoga and wellbeing classes and courses for women throughout all stages of life.

Why Do Yoga?

We all know about its calming and relaxing effect but it is also a holistic approach to wellbeing. In a pose, we are using the whole body: mind, body and breath. There are no mindless repetitive movements. And the focus and stillness in the pose combined with the breathing resets the nervous system resulting in feeling calmer and relaxed but also uplifted and just better about ourselves in general.

Hi, I’m Libby

I am certified as a pregnancy, postnatal and menopause yoga teacher because of my lived experience of journeying through those stages without support, advice & knowledge. These are transformational stages of womanhood. Yoga can be very anchoring and centering at a time in life that is different to the one we have lived so far. I am motivated to help women understand their changing body as they journey through the different stages of life. Let me help make your journey a healthier, more informed and a better one.

ABOUT ME

PREGNANCY YOGA

Pregnancy yoga is proactive: it strengthens the parts of the body needed to give birth and it relieves the aches and pains associated with pregnancy.

POSTNATAL YOGA

Postnatal yoga gently strengthens the parts of the body that have been stretched out in pregnancy and uncurls and releases tension in the upper body from breastfeeding.

YOGA FOR MENOPAUSE

Yoga is a holistic approach to our wellbeing and positively affects all systems of the body thereby easing all the symptoms of the menopause at the same time.

TESTIMONIALS

“ Tonight’s session was brilliant as I could close my eyes for most of it as you explain the poses so clearly. I didn’t have to constantly check the screen on my laptop. This really helped me relax into the poses. I loved the poem at the end too - a lovely addition to the class. What can I say: love, love, loved it!”

“ Another great session, thank you. Thoroughly enjoyed resting with my legs up the wall listening to you read the poem. Feel priviledged to attend these sessions. Thank you so much.”

“ Just what I needed and during the session I realised I don’t actually make much time for myself. Thank you. The timing was spot on too.”

“ Thank you for tonight’s yoga! At the end when you said, close your eyes and notice how your body feels, I smiled because my body felt happy and went from an 8 on the high end of the anxiety scale to a near blissful 2 during your session! You’re brilliant! Can’t wait for next week!.”

“Libby’s practice was an essential part of my week. I joined her pre and post natal classes before and during the pandemic. Libby is so attentive, has a thorough understanding of women’s health and is extremely accommodating by hosting classes in studio, then virtually and in a park. I highly recommend her classes for physical and pre natal wellbeing.”

“I just want to thank you for your course on Meditation and mindfulness that I have just completed. No apps can compare with having someone actually teaching and guiding you through a process that allows you to implement what you have learned in your everyday life. You made it so easy to understand why it will be so beneficial in our lives and I was amazed at how quickly, I found myself using these techniques with positive results. Thank you for showing me how to take my life forward using the tools you have taught me. I will miss the Wednesday classes as I felt we were in a class of friends, even though it was on zoom. Imagine what it would have been like if it had been a live class!

Thank you so much for everything”

“I took my first class with Libby as part of a Bump&Baby lunch and yoga social zoom event. I really liked Libby's style of teaching and poses/flows choice. It was tailored for pregnancy, but it was fun and challenging enough at the same time. After that first class, throughout autumn 2020 and my 3rd pregnancy trimester, I did two lots of classes with Libby and equally enjoyed them. The classes that I did incorporated not only yoga, but also reflection on pregnancy and motherhood. Libby provided food for thought on those topics and facilitated interesting discussions. I would highly recommend her pregnancy classes”
