5 /5 Hannah Rome-Hall: I started pregnancy yoga at 16 weeks and continued up until a week before my baby was born. It was the perfect way to spend a Monday evening. I met some lovely mums and have made some friends for life! We meet regularly for cake and to discuss the highs and lows of being a mum and support each other.
Pregnancy yoga equipped me with the skills I needed for labour; staying calm and breathing. Each week Georgie offered us some lavender oil to help us relax, so when I was in labour and the midwives offered me some, I was instantly transported to my safe space and felt relaxed. Without yoga, I don’t think that I would have been as calm, during labour, as I was.
I took a few months break before going to mum and baby yoga and I’m so glad I went back. I was not sure at first; worried my baby would cry and disrupt class - and you know what, she cried but it didn’t matter one bit! Georgie is a master at teaching with all the baby noises going on, isn’t bothered by crying and will happily hold baby for you, if you want a little break and to stretch.
Georgie is a wonderful person and exceptional yoga teacher. For every stretch, she offers variations, so it doesn’t matter what your skill level is, you’ll get something from every class. Yoga with Georgie made my pregnancy all the more enjoyable. If you’re pregnant, why not try a class, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!
