A beautiful text from a Mother of now FIVE!

Thank you for trusting me to share this experience with you both and more importantly for trusting yourself.

I didn't take the time to revisit hypnobirthing with my partner for our second birth and this reflected the birth and postnatal experience that we had.

You have shown me more than ever the importance of taking this time to reflect, nurture and empower and I'll forever be grateful for sharing the journey with you both

This one's for BRISTOL πŸ’— Saturday 13th April 2-3.30pm ✨

A collaboration of movement and sound with Ashleigh, a Yoga Teacher at South Hams Yoga and Ruth, a Sound Practitioner at 🫢

This offering is a chance for Mother’s to step away from the everydays of Motherhood and to just be fully present with little ones, through movement and sound. Perhaps reconnecting with oneself, maybe with your baby, within a safe and supportive space.

Ashleigh will guide you through a slow and nourishing vinyasa flow, connecting to your breath and supporting your postpartum self in both mind and body. We will build subtle warmth and strength before snuggling with little ones ready for a long deep relaxation.

Ruth will then envelop you and your little one in soothing vibrations to nurture the connection between mother and child, promoting a sense of calm, balance, and emotional well-being.

The sound bath can support your journey of postpartum recovery. For your baby, the experience can foster an environment of security and comfort, supporting their development of sensory and emotional regulation.

A chance to awaken your soul as we find balance and connection as we invite in Spring within us. 🌱🌼

(Open to babies who are not yet crawling and Mother’s 6-8 weeks postpartum)

Bhakti Yoga - Guiding you through motherhood

My name's Ashleigh, I'm a yoga teacher specialising in pre & post natal yoga classes, as well as a hypnobirthing specialist. I first qualified with a teaching focus on both Hatha & Vinysa yoga, but as I went through my own journey to becoming a mother, that seed blossomed into Bhakti yoga. Where I now dedicate my space and practice to helping others navigate through their journey into motherhood.

However your baby decides to enter into the world, I'm here to help you stay calm and prepared throughout every trimester and continue to support and guide you long after. Self belief and self love are paramount in my teachings and this is the theme that flows throughout all my classes.​

As a mother who has gone through the same journey you are about to take, I'm so passionate about sharing my experience and the practices that have helped me.

Birth is miraculous however it happens, I'm here to help show you just how capable both your body and mind are and give you the tools to feel confident in your body doing what it was born to do.

And it's here!!!!So excited to share my new website. A HUGE thank you to @lovaine_james my very talented friend who not ...
