Private 1:1 and Private Group Sessions for Pregnancy, Birth Preparation & Postnatal Recovery

Pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period are times of enormous physical and emotional change. The right support can help you feel more informed, confident and connected to your body throughout the journey.

 

I offer bespoke private pregnancy, birth preparation and postnatal yoga sessions, either 1:1 or as a private group with friends, your NCT group or other mums-to-be.

 

Sessions are tailored to you — whether you’re looking to ease pregnancy discomforts, prepare physically and mentally for birth, rebuild strength and stability after birth, or simply have some dedicated time to connect with yourself and your baby.

 

No previous yoga experience is needed.

  • Pelvic floor support and recovery,

  • Caesarean birth recovery,

  • Pelvic girdle pain management,

  • Support for twin and multiples pregnancies,

  • Diastasis recti recovery,

  • Comprehensive birth preparation techniques.


Pregnancy Yoga classes, suitable from 12 weeks of pregnancy to birth, require no prior yoga experience. Esther’s teaching incorporates:

  • A blend of breathing techniques, gentle movement, pelvic floor support, stability and strengthening, and stretching, all designed to help ease pregnancy discomforts and prepare you for birth.

The Mum and Baby Postnatal Yoga classes are suitable once the mum feels ready (with doctor’s sign-off 8-12 weeks postpartum for caesarean birth). These sessions focus on:

  • Breathwork, strengthening, stabilization, and supporting the pelvic floor.

  • Relaxation techniques, alongside practical tips for postnatal recovery.

  • Babies are included in the practice, with plenty of cuddles, bonding, and playful interaction.

Whether you’re seeking support through pregnancy, birth preparation, or postnatal recovery, Esther’s classes are designed to make every mother feel cared for and empowered.
