Pregnancy is a time of massive change, adapting to greater demands on your body as you grow a whole new person, plus the rollercoaster of emotions that come along the way. Most of us combine managing all that with keeping on top of career, learning all about birth, shifting dynamics with friendships or family, oh and probably moving house and/or doing a ton of building/decorating work.
(and breathe)
You are not alone in feeling confused, overwhelmed and exhausted. We are here to help...
A new approach
Simple, modern and practical
Building on the best of yoga, this course adds practical everyday changes you can make to improve postural alignment and help relieve some of the common aches and pains of pregnancy. Alternating between in-person classes and learning at home, to give you the space and support you need to make these life-changes.
Headspace, shoulders, knees and toes
A whole self approach
Taking time out to pause and feel into your body is vital in pregnancy; during this part of your life you're more sensitive emotionally and physically. Being more aware of sensations, changes and feelings can help you use adapt more easily.
Each class has an element of guided relaxation as well as cues to help you notice sensation throughout the class.

TESTIMONIALS
Why mothers love motherslove:
Alice
"Emilie helped me feel more in control, less apprehensive and to know what to expect, so I could navigate a calmer way through - knowing how to listen and respond to my body.
The whole experience was really lovely."
Suzie
"Emilie is down to earth and friendly; she creates an inclusive and warm environment for the classes.
I recommend these classes for the all essential 'me' time during pregnancy as they've really helped me to breathe, stretch and properly listen to my body. "
Claire
“The classes were comprehensive, covering all of the body from head-to-toe. There was good focus on breathing, relaxation and preparing for birth in various positions.
I enjoyed the relaxation at the end and almost fell asleep! I felt very nurtured by Emilie and would be happy to recommend her to other expectant mums.”
Elena
“Thanks for your time and lovely attention. I really enjoyed the whole class, especially because it had a bit of everything, it wasn’t only yoga and exercise.
After the class, I felt very relaxed all evening.”
