BEAR + WOLF Yoga

Hello lovely souls,

I'm so excited to invite you to a beautiful Pregnancy Yoga course at Common Ground Bray, starting tomorrow at 6 PM. This special journey is all about connecting with your body, your baby, and your energetic system through:

Yoga: Soothing poses to support your changing body, and strengthening to build resilience for birth.

Breathwork: Calming techniques to help you breathe deeply and feel more relaxed, and techniques to prepare for birth.

Positive Affirmations: Empowering words to help prepare your mind for giving birth.

Guided Visualizations: Heartwarming imagery to connect with your baby as well as prepare for birth.

Deep Relaxation: Peaceful moments to rest and recharge.

I've had the honor of working with amazing women over the past four years, both in studios and one-on-one. Every class is a heartfelt experience, and I learn so much from each incredible woman I meet.

Class Details:
When: Tomorrow at 6 PM
Where: Common Ground Bray
Cost: €15 per class

Hi Everyone, for anybody in Wicklow, starting in September, I am facilitating two new classes at Common Ground Bray.

Pregnancy Yoga: A 5-week course for mums 12 weeks +. We will learn yoga asana, breathwork, visualisation and meditation to connect with our bodies, wombspace and babies. It's a lovely course to bring peace and ease into your pregnancy journey.

Yoga with Shamanic Journey: A 6-week course where we deep dive into yoga asana through the chakras, and then into a shamanic journey to help restore, release and heal.

Click the links below for more info. And don't be afraid to contact me if you have any questions.

Please share with anyone you think might be interested ;)

Happy Earth Day 🌍🌏🌎

I don't know about you but I get pretty overwhelmed about how badly we treat our planet

Sometimes it feels like what can we do when big corporations are the biggest threat? Especially after watching it seems like being a veggan isnt enough

However reducing, reusing still helps. Make the switch to veganism will help our oceans. Reducing our meat consumption will help to lower carbon emissions. Yes the plant food industry impacts our planet too, so try growing more at home, shop locally produced foods, shop organic and buy fair trade

Something I've switched to lately is period pants to lower/ prevent more waste from disposable pads, tampons etc. And I'm buying a lot less plastic or items made from recycled ocean plastic

I could rant on but the most important thing you can do is inform yourself. Stop hiding from the truth. Our planet is sick.

Happy wednesday everyone! Can't believe it's hump day already 😅

If you're scrolling 👀 Just take a moment to to acknowledge your efforts so far this week. Breathe in gratitude for the smallest thing or the biggest thing you can think of 🐺

You are doing great, no matter what s # comparison gremlin is on your back. Push him off and say "Hey, I'm doing pretty awesome." 🏔

We're our worst enemies and our toughest critics. So take a rest from the hurtful internal narrative and show some love to yourself now 🧘‍♀️

Breathe in love, breathe out calm 🧘‍♂️

Did you know that visualisations and affirmations are an amazing way for you to prepare for birth?

Especially if you're in your third trimester, it's a great time to begin practising different types of visualisations that you can use during your birth -- you never know which one will call to you when it's time for baby to make it's exit 😄

Both visualisation and using mantras/affirmations can help calm you, connect you with your baby and your womb, and they can empower you during surges 💛

Saying Mantras like OM are also a really lovely way to create a vibration in you that your baby will feel and hear from the womb 🕉 giving you and your baby a little piece of calm 🌊

In the BEAR + WOLF Yoga prenatal + birth prep series I'll give you affirmations and visualisations that you can use during pregnancy and for birth 💛 as well as movement and breathing techniques 🧘‍♀️

DM me if you're interested in knowing more. And tag a friend who you know might like to join X

For all the pregnant ladies out there 👋 🤰

Did you know that half squat is such a powerful pose to use during your pregnancy journey?

It strengthens our legs, opens our hips, and is great for releasing shoulder tension

It's so good for preparing for birth -- when practised for up to 2 minutes (🌶 spicy) we help build our endurance and stamina🔥!

Keep breathing as you do this, long exhales with your mouth relaxed and loose lips like blowing out birthday candles 🎂 And try moving up and down-- movement helps us through surges 🙌

Scroll across to see variations of half squat that will help if you have SPD, or groin pain. Narrow your stance and toes point forward 😊 If you're not sure what position your baby is in yet and you're +34 weeks pregnant, take the narrow stance option

Check with your caregivers about trying pregnancy/birth prep yoga 💛

In case you didn't know, I teach pregnancy yoga! Watch this space for upcoming classes for pregnancy and birth preparation 🥰🧘‍♀️🤰🌠
