Pregnancy & Postnatal

Remember your body’s wisdom…

Pregnancy Yoga

There is nothing more cosmic and badass than bringing life into this world, and whatever your birth preferences, I intend to elevate your pregnancy with creative and deeply nourishing classes. I feel passionate about sharing prenatal yoga that challenges the paternalistic narrative around pregnant bodies needing wrapped in cotton wool - and instead aim to fully empower you with mindful breath, functional strength building, embodied, rhythmic flows and dreamy relaxations.

This yoga not only supports the sacred biology of your pregnancy, but also helps to foster a deeper trust and understanding of your changing body & your growing baby - tending to the light of intuition from within and preparing you holistically for birthing your way.

  • My absolute favourite bit of my week while pregnant was your yoga classes. I was actually a bit sad that 40 weeks would be my last class!

  • Thank you so much for this! I have truly loved your classes, even if I was only able to make a few in person. They have made such a great difference for me in my pregnancy. Thank you again and looking forward to joining any future Postpartum/Mum classes you will be offering 😉

    Susanna

  • A huge, huge thank you to you Jocie for being such a great support during my pregnancy. You made my Monday evenings an absolute joy. You're a truly wonderful & gifted teacher.

    Marianne

  • It's a real credit to your teaching that you are still able to create a level of intimacy while running your classes remotely. I've thoroughly enjoyed my Monday evenings on the mat - thank you for all the peace!

Postnatal Yoga

Coming back to your body after birth can feel daunting, confusing, frustrating and beautiful - sometimes all at once! Yoga is such a wonderful way to honour the huge transformation you & your body have come through (and continue to undergo!)

Practice with your baby in tow - or without if you manage to snatch an hour alone (hurrah!) - and enjoy flows that will not only ease the aches and pains of motherhood, but also help ‘switch on the lights’ - re-awakening your deep core and enabling healthy & functional movement after birth.

  • Jocie's yoga for birthing classes were my favourite night of the week during pregnancy. Absolutely dreamy flows that stretched out my body calmed my mind - followed by tea & chats with fellow mums to be. What's not to like?!

    Lauren

  • Your teaching was a beautiful balm. Not only did it offer calm for the mind and body in the moment, it taught me about the process of giving birth, the magic of the female body and how to harness breath to support labour. This was invaluable.

    Rozie

  • You honestly made the world of difference especially in the lockdown. Your pregnancy yoga was by far the best thing I did to prepare myself mentally & physically.
