**Online Virtual** Pregnancy Yoga with Dani Bedding

“Yoga allows you to find an inner peace that is not ruffled and riled by the endless stresses and struggles of life.” –B.K.S Iyengar

Congratulations on your pregnancy

Pre-requisite: No experience necessary to join this VIRTUAL session !

This weekly VIRTUAL feel good pregnancy yoga session IS NOW RUNNING VIA ZOOM DURING THE CURRENT RESTRICTIONS and is for expectant mums to help you in being more comfortable during the emotional and physical changes that take place during the second and third trimester. Pregnancy yoga safely adapts classic poses which help prepare your body for labour and birthby helping to build strength, stamina and confidence in your ever changing body. You can join us anytime from 14 weeks and practice right up to your baby’s birth. You also get to be part of a supportive network of pregnant women during this wonderfully exciting time.

Becoming a mother is a very personal journey. Using yoga during this sacred time can bring calmness, inner balance and empowerment, enabling you to step more confidently towards the life-changing experiences that motherhood brings. Pregnancy yoga adapts classic poses, safely strengthening, toning and stretching your ever-changing body. Using breath awareness, while you stretch, helps to nurture you and your baby. The union of breath and movement is one of yoga’s main tools of discovery, greatly improving your body’s ability to cope during labour and birth. The classes can help to create a heightened sense of well-being and contentment which extends to your baby, your partner and family. You will have the chance to meet other mums/mums-to-be in a friendly, supportive and fun environment, where we share knowledge and experiences.

Absolutely no previous yoga experience is required. You can join from the beginning of your second trimester (around 14 weeks) and are welcome to come to class until your baby is born. It’s lovely also to have post-birth Mums visit the class with their newborns and tell their birth story. Please don’t hesitate to message or call me with any questions you may have or to register your interest. Namaste, Dani x

Mum & Baby Yoga

The Fitness Garage

My Mum & Baby class is run every Wednesday at 10.30am. You’re welcome to join from 6 weeks post birth, 10 weeks post section (after your GP check) right up to pre crawling. I have all the equipment you’ll need but do bring, for baby, a blanket and maybe a toy to chew and water for yourself. My classes are fun and friendly, with a mixture of mostly yoga for mummy and some baby yoga too. We go with the flow, as a rule, but I do try to gear the class towards mummies and their needs and always at a pace that suits both you and your baby.

Yoga testimonials

Dani provides an upbeat but relaxed environment for baby & mummy

I've really been enjoying the post-natal baby yoga class, with my baby no. 3. It's been guaranteed 'me' time, with the class mainly focusing on yoga for mummy. Dani provides an upbeat but relaxed environment for baby & mummy, tailoring the class to the majority on the day, whether it be to target specific aches & pains or responding to when the babies are ready for yoga too. As well as the yoga there is a supportive feel to the class, which is so important at this early stage. This has definitely been my favourite class so far with baby Noah, thanks Dani! Clare Y

Being part of Dani’s Yoga for 2 class made a huge difference during my pregnancy

A fantastic mummy centric class for a change!! The mums and babies class is relaxed but focused and Dani makes sure the yoga is challenging enough to suit all levels and targets all the ‘problem’ areas post pregnancy. It’s the first fitness class I’ve done since my son was born 3 months ago and I’m really looking forward to next week’s class!! Amy W

Feeling of inner peace and wellbeing

I started Yoga for 2 as a total beginner. From my point of view, it was a way of maintaining a certain level of fitness through pregnancy, meet other Mums to be and to increase my suppleness in preparation for labour and birth.
 Less than 2 weeks from my due date and can happily say I've achieved all of these things and more. What I hadn't factored in were the feeling of inner peace and wellbeing that Dani brings out in her yoga mamas, plus a much more relaxed and pragmatic attitude towards the impending birth and motherhood.
I'd recommend Yoga for 2 to anyone embarking on this amazing journey. Thanks Dani!! Jessica B

Brought together a group of mums to be who have become firm friends

I’ve done both prenatal and mum and baby yoga with Dani and can’t recommend her classes highly enough. Not only did the prenatal classes prepare my mind and body for labour through both exercise and relaxation, but they brought together a group of mums to be who have become firm friends and a solid support network. I can’t thank Dani enough for being such a helpful and positive teacher both while pregnant and as a new mum. Sophie D

Dani’s class always made me feel better even on the hardest days

I knew I wanted something to help get me ready to give birth and thought a yoga class would do it. Little did I know that I would gain not only a place to stretch out after a hard week but also a place to feel really welcome. Dani's class always made me feel better even on the hardest days. I always left feeling like a strong mamma. I would highly recommend trying at least one class. You'll be hooked! Dawn H

Dani has built my confidence, I feel stronger, more knowledgeable and know that what I’ve learnt will help me through my labour

With no pre-pregnancy yoga experience I was nervous of trying it out but had a recommendation from a friend to try out Yoga for 2 classes with Dani as knew there would be benefits for me and bump. Wish I'd started sooner it has been great! Dani is a wonderful instructor and was able to adapt moves to take into account my pregnancy carpal tunnel with ease. Yoga for 2 with Dani has built my confidence, I feel stronger, more knowledgeable and know that what I've learnt will help me through my labour. It is such a calming and friendly environment and I look forward to mummy and baby yoga when my little one arrives. Amy M

I received so much moral support from Dani and the other women in the class

Being part of Dani's Yoga for 2 class made a huge difference during my pregnancy. The classes not only benefited me physically and helped prepare my body for birth, but I also received so much moral support from Dani and the other women in the class. Dani encouraged us to discuss our week and talk about any challenges or highlights we'd experienced, and this created such a nice environment. It allowed me to build a support network of other new mums who continue to be a great source of support in early motherhood too. I'd done yoga for a few years, but the class was always adapted to fit all levels of ability and pregnancy. 
I really recommend Dani's prenatal classes, and can't wait to start Baby and Mum yoga in a few weeks. Rosie K

I really looked forward to the Friday night class!

I was completely new to yoga when I joined the class but I was looking for something that would help me stay fit as I was not sure what was safe for me to be doing in the gym on my own.

Dani was a huge help and not only did I learn exercises that I could do but I also learnt lots about pregnancy in general by speaking to Dani and the other mums-to-be. I really looked forward to the Friday night class as it was a great way to destress and wind down after a week at work. Now baby is here, I miss its much! Thank you Dani. ~ Katherine
