Our immune system is a vast and organised network of cells, tissues & organs that protects the body from germs & viruses.

Toning Our Vagus Nerve
Our Vagus Nerve is the main component of the Parasympathetic Nervous System also known as the 'Rest & Renew Mode'. Vagus is the largest nerve in the body, starting at the top of the spine at the 10th cervical nerve connecting with the brain all the way down to the gut. Along the way the nerve branches off and connects with the throat, lungs, heart and kidney. The vagus nerve is like the button you press to reduce stress.By stimulating the vagus nerve you can send a message to your body that its time to relax and de-stress which leads to long term improvements in mood, wellbeing and resilience. It allows people to overcome anxiety and depression, and better manage them when they arise. Having higher vagus tone leads to better immune system, improved gut health, lower inflammation, reduces the likeness of diabetes, stroke and heart disease. Toning our vagus has even been proven to help with epilepsy.
Our vagus nerve tone is measured in changes in heart rate that occur with the breath i.e. HRV(Heart Rate Variability). Healthy vagus tone has a slight increase in the heart rate of the inhale and decrease in the exhale. So we work on lengthening the exhale to decrease the heart rate compared to that of the inhale.
In this practice we increase HRV by moving through pranayama to lengthen the exhale. We awaken areas that the nerve directly connects with such as throat, heart and the gut. We move through heart opening practices one of the quick ways to tone the vagus and we close the practice with a meta meditation/love & kindness meditation.
Some of the proven ways to tone the vagus nerve in your everyday life is through conscious breathing, meditation, yoga(of course!), cold showers, smiling, laughing, intermediate fasting, eating omega 3 fatty acids, probiotics and foods rich in probiotics.

Balancing Kapha
Ayurvedic Doshas are our body/mind type. We can be Vata, Pitta or Kapha, a combination of two or tridosha which is all three.There is no better or worse dosha, we are all perfect just the way we are. It is very interesting to understand which dosha you are so you can make lifestyle adjustments to keep your doshas in balance.
Working today on Balancing Kapha. So whether you are kapha dosha or not, kapha can become out of balance. Kapha imbalance is when there is too much water and earth in your body and this may show up as excess mucus or congestion or your allergies may be flaring up. Physically in the body there maybe signs such as colds, bronchitis, ashthma, diabetes, over eating or finding it hard to loose weight. Emotional triggers maybe that the mind is foggy, unfocused and dull, unmotivated, exhausted all the time and just can't get up and go.
In this practice we are bringing fire and air. The fire is bringing in motivation, confidence and drive to reignite the fire. The air element is helping to bring lightness to excess kapha and to free the air ways. Practicing a heated dynamic flow with a focus on chest openers, twists and standing poses.
When kapha is out of balance the above is the last thing you want to do 🙂 but it is exactly what you need!! You can do it!!
When Kapha is balanced we feel strong, focused, grounded, sympathetic and are the best person to rely on.

Toning Our Vagus Nerve
Our Vagus Nerve is the main component of the Parasympathetic Nervous System also known as the 'Rest & Renew Mode'. Vagus is the largest nerve in the body, starting at the top of the spine at the 10th cervical nerve connecting with the brain all the way down to the gut. Along the way the nerve branches off and connects with the throat, lungs, heart and kidney. The vagus nerve is like the button you press to reduce stress.By stimulating the vagus nerve you can send a message to your body that its time to relax and de-stress which leads to long term improvements in mood, wellbeing and resilience. It allows people to overcome anxiety and depression, and better manage them when they arise. Having higher vagus tone leads to better immune system, improved gut health, lower inflammation, reduces the likeness of diabetes, stroke and heart disease. Toning our vagus has even been proven to help with epilepsy.
Our vagus nerve tone is measured in changes in heart rate that occur with the breath i.e. HRV(Heart Rate Variability). Healthy vagus tone has a slight increase in the heart rate of the inhale and decrease in the exhale. So we work on lengthening the exhale to decrease the heart rate compared to that of the inhale.
In this practice we increase HRV by moving through pranayama to lengthen the exhale. We awaken areas that the nerve directly connects with such as throat, heart and the gut. We move through heart opening practices, one of the quick ways to tone the vagus and we close the practice with a meta meditation/love & kindness meditation.
Some of the proven ways to tone the vagus nerve in your everyday life is through conscious breathing, meditation, yoga(of course!), cold showers, smiling, laughing, intermediate fasting, eating omega 3 fatty acids, probiotics and foods rich in probiotics.

Squeezing first in our twist as our organs are compressed pushing out blood filled with toxins and metabolic by products. When we come out of the twist and pause new blood flows in full of oxygen and the building blocks for tissue healing.
Twisting feels so good, enjoy!

Anti-ageing Yoga
Beauty is not skin deep, it goes much deeper. Youthful beauty comes from a healthy body, a calm mind, a youthful heart and a beautiful smile!!In this practice we look at calming our mind(as cortisol the stress hormone is one of the main culprits for ageing), we practice some of my favourite face yoga techniques and we move through poses counterbalancing ageing in the body: good posture, maintaining our flexibility and balance.
We can't stop ageing but we can certainly slow it down.
My other top tips for defying ageing is sleep, sleep, sleep and drink plenty of water. But above all being young at heart will radiate out, so be spontaneous and have some fun!! ♥

Balancing Kapha
Ayurvedic Doshas are our body/mind type. We can be Vata, Pitta or Kapha, a combination of two or tridosha all three.There is no better or worse dosha it is very interesting to understand which dosha you are so you can make lifestyle adjustments to keep your doshas in balance.
Working today on Balancing Kapha. So whether you are kapha dosha or not, kapha can become out of balance. Kapha imbalance is when there is too much water and earth in your body and this may show up as excess mucus, congestion or your allergies may be flaring up. Physically in the body there maybe signs such as colds, bronchitis, ashthma, diabetes, over eating or finding it hard to loose weight. Emotional triggers maybe that the mind is foggy, unfocused and dull, unmotivated, exhausted all the time and just can't get up and go.
In this practice we are bringing fire and air into our body. The fire is bringing in motivation, confidence and drive to reignite the fire. The air element is helping to bring lightness to excess kapha and to free the air ways. Practicing a heated dynamic flow with a focus on chest openers, twists and standing poses.
When kapha is out of balance the above is the last thing you want to do 🙂 but it is exactly what you need!! You can do it!!
When Kapha is balanced we feel strong, focused, grounded, sympathetic and the best person to rely on.

Pitta imbalance is when there is too much fire in your body and this may show up as digestive issues, feeling anger, impatience and excess heat. Physically in the body there maybe signs as overly inflamed joints, acid reflux, heartburn or ulcers. Emotional triggers maybe frustration, irritability, being judgmental and having excessive perfectionist tendencies.

Psoas Release
The Psoas muscles are fascinating! They are the deepest muscles in our body and so can be the hardest to stretch and strengthen. They connect the upper body to the lower body. The muscle begin at the T12 of the spine, lumbar and diaphragm extending to the pelvis and femur. They are vital muscles for our physical and emotional health.They are critical for balanced alignment, proper joint rotation and full muscular range of motion.
And equally as important they are critical for our emotional health. As the muscles connect with our diaphragm, tight psoas affect our breathing. When the breath is constricted the brain will then activate the sympathetic nervous system - the flight or fight response.
Emotions such as sadness, anxiety and fear can lead to tight psoas. Then in turn tight psoas can lead to alliments such as low back pain, poor posture, bloating and constipation.
With Yoga's help we can target those deep hard to reach muscles allowing for a healthy and happy body and mind.
Isn't Yoga amazing :)!!

Toning Our Vagus Nerve
Our Vagus Nerve is the main component of the Parasympathetic Nervous System also known as the 'Rest & Renew Mode'. Vagus is the largest nerve in the body, starting at the top of the spine at the 10th cervical nerve connecting with the brain all the way down to the gut. Along the way the nerve branches off and connects with the throat, lungs, heart and kidney. The vagus nerve is like the button you press to reduce stress.By stimulating the vagus nerve you can send a message to your body that its time to relax and de-stress which leads to long term improvements in mood, wellbeing and resilience. It allows people to overcome anxiety and depression, and better manage them when they arise. Having higher vagus tone leads to better immune system, improved gut health, lower inflammation, reduces the likeness of diabetes, stroke and heart disease. Toning our vagus has even been proven to help with epilepsy.
Our vagus nerve tone is measured in changes in heart rate that occur with the breath i.e. HRV(Heart Rate Variability). Healthy vagus tone has a slight increase in the heart rate of the inhale and decrease in the exhale. So we work on lengthening the exhale to decrease the heart rate compared to that of the inhale.
In this practice we increase HRV by moving through pranayama to lengthen the exhale. We awaken areas that the nerve directly connects with such as throat, heart and the gut. We move through heart opening practices one of the quick ways to tone the vagus and we close the practice with a meta meditation/love & kindness meditation.
They say that a baby inherits good vegas tone from their mum!!
Some of the proven ways to tone the vagus nerve in your everyday life is through conscious breathing, meditation, yoga(of course!), cold showers, smiling, laughing, intermediate fasting, eating omega 3 fatty acids, probiotics and foods rich in probiotics.
When you are pregnant it is so important to listen to your body, so please do sit out any pose that does not feel right for you and rest whenever you need to.

Prenatal Quick Fix
These Prenatal Yoga 30 Minute Quick Fixes classes are suitable for all levels. They are perfect for those that have never practiced Yoga before, those that are looking to improve and those that are experienced. Ideal when you just have 30 minutes and need a quick fix.
Each class begins with a few minutes of breathwork and deep relaxation equipping mum with tools to help her relax and stay grounded during her pregnancy but also to be used should she wish during labour. We then continue with 20 minutes of yoga asana(postures) which help to open the body, relieve and prevent any common prenatal aliments, helping the body to stay toned and flexible. Followed by 5 minutes Shavasana(deep relaxation).
I have put together Yoga playlists with some of my favourite Yoga music should you wish to play music to accompany your practice. I will suggest which music I feel best suits the practice. If so please simply go to the Yoga Music tab on the right and press play to the music first and then come back here and press play to your yoga video, the music will play alongside the video.
**You are safe to begin Prenatal Yoga from 14 weeks pregnant
Although we are offering many tools for the expectant mum to have a natural birth should she wish, we do not in any way force this, we honour whatever birthing plan our expectant mothers decide. And welcome any questions either in a group or in private.

Yoga for SPD/PGP
In this class we focus on stabilising the pelvis. It is so common during pregnancy to have pelvis instability. When the hormone relaxin is flowing through the body it makes the body very flexible and that can then lead to instability. We focus on poses that strengthen and tone the inner thigh which then in turn strengthens the pelvic flow creating a strong base and more stability for the pelvis.In other yoga practices please be mindful and avoid wide legged poses, standing on one leg and no cross legged poses. Also move slowly between poses.
If you suffer from pelvic instability this is a good practice to do regularly.

Detox Flow
In this flow we are detoxing our body and our mind. Moving through twists, inversion, back bends and forward bends in order to flush the body of toxins.Twists help to dislodge particles trapped in the colon, improves our digestion and promotes toxin elimination.
Inversions allow the blood to circulate in a different direction, transporting new blood to the liver, kidneys and as result detoxifies the organism.
Back and forward bends put gentle compression on the belly and stimulate waste disposal as well as improving digestion
Detoxing is hugely beneficial; it increases blood circulation, stimulates the lymphatic system and helps the liver work optimally to cleanse the organism. Cleansing the body of impurities such as carbon dioxide, lactic acid and lymphatic fluid.
This is a gentle detox flow and is safe postnatally however please note when you are breastfeeding is it not advisable to do an intense juice detox.

Toning Our Vagus Nerve
Our Vagus Nerve is the main component of the Parasympathetic Nervous System also known as the 'Rest & Renew Mode'. Vagus is the largest nerve in the body, starting at the top of the spine at the 10th cervical nerve connecting with the brain all the way down to the gut. Along the way the nerve branches off and connects with the throat, lungs, heart and kidney. The vagus nerve is like the button you press to reduce stress.By stimulating the vagus nerve you can send a message to your body that its time to relax and de-stress which leads to long term improvements in mood, wellbeing and resilience. It allows people to overcome anxiety and depression, and better manage them when they arise. Having higher vagus tone leads to better immune system, improved gut health, lower inflammation, reduces the likeness of diabetes, stroke and heart disease. Toning our vagus has even been proven to help with epilepsy.
Our vagus nerve tone is measured in changes in heart rate that occur with the breath i.e. HRV(Heart Rate Variability). Healthy vagus tone has a slight increase in the heart rate of the inhale and decrease in the exhale. So we work on lengthening the exhale to decrease the heart rate compared to that of the inhale.
In this practice we increase HRV by moving through pranayama to lengthen the exhale. We awaken areas that the nerve directly connects with such as throat, heart and the gut. We bring in some movements for baby and a sonic massage to tone mummy & baby's vagus nerve. Closing the practice with a meta meditation/love & kindness meditation.
Some of the proven ways to tone the vagus nerve in your everyday life is through conscious breathing, meditation, yoga(of course!), cold showers, smiling, laughing, intermediate fasting, eating omega 3 fatty acids, probiotics and foods rich in probiotics.

Squeezing first in our twist as our organs are compressed pushing out blood filled with toxins and metabolic by products. When we come out of the twist and pause new blood flows in full of oxygen and the building blocks for tissue healing.

Balancing Kapha
Ayurvedic Doshas are our body/mind type. We can be Vata, Pitta or Kapha, a combination of two or tridosha all three.There is no better or worse dosha it is very interesting to understand which dosha you are so you can make lifestyle adjustments to keep your doshas in balance.
Working today on Balancing Kapha. So whether you are kapha dosha or not, kapha can become out of balance. Kapha imbalance is when there is too much water and earth in your body and this may show up as excess mucu, congestion or your allergies may be flaring up. Physically in the body there maybe signs such as colds, bronchitis, ashthma, diabetes, over eating or finding it hard to loose weight. Emotional triggers maybe that the mind is foggy, unfocused and dull, unmotivated, exhausted all the time and just can't get up and go.
In this practice we are bringing in fire and air into our body. The fire is bringing in motivation, confidence and drive to reignite the fire. The air element is helping to bring lightness to excess kapha and to free the air ways. Practicing a heated dynamic flow with a focus on chest openers, twists and standing poses.
When kapha is out of balance the above is the last thing you want to do 🙂 but it is exactly what you need!! You can do it!!

Balancing Pitta
Ayurvedic doshas are our body/mind type. We can be Vata, Pitta or Kapha, a combination of two or tridosha all three.There is no better or worse dosha, it is very interesting to understand which dosha you are so you can make lifestyle adjustments to keep your doshas in balance.
Working today on Balancing Pitta. So whether you are pitta dosha or not, pitta can become out of balance. Pitta imbalance is when there is too much fire in your body and this may show up as digestive issues, feeling angry,, impatience and excess heat. Physically in the body there maybe signs as overly inflamed joints, acid reflux, heartburn or ulcers. Emotional triggers maybe frustration, irritability, being judgmental and having excessive perfectionist tendencies.
In this practice we are bringing a sense of cooling into our practice and move into non competitive yoga poses. We flow through twists, heart openers and forward folds to encourage space and openness in the body releasing and detoxing heated Pitta energy within the body. When Pitta is balanced we feel motivated, focused, intellectual and witty.

Psoas Release
The Psoas muscles are fascinating! They are the deepest muscles in our body and so can be the hardest to stretch and strengthen. They connect the upper body to the lower body. The muscle begins at the T12 of the spine, lumbar and diaphragm extending to the pelvis and femur. They are vital muscles for our physical and emotional health.They are critical for balanced alignment, proper joint rotation and full muscular range of motion.
And equally as important they are critical for our emotional health. As the muscles connect with our diaphragm, tight psoas affect our breathing. When the breath is constricted the brain will then activate the sympathetic nervous system - the flight or fight response.
Emotions such as sadness, anxiety and fear can lead to tight psoas. Then in turn tight psoas can lead to low back pain
With Yoga's help we can reach target those deep hard to reach muscles allowing for a healthy and happy body and mind.
Isn't Yoga amazing :)!!

Air/Vayu Element Flow
This practice is for Mummy but baby as always is very welcome to join in too!In this practice we are balancing our Air/Vayu Element Flow. Our body and the world around us is made up of the 5 elements. The Vayu/Air Element governs love, freedom, openness, mobility and positivity. When we balance this element we can freely give and receive love, feel light, open and compassionate. Sometimes when this air element is out of balance we may feel withdrawn, unproductive, unfocused, sluggish and my mind maybe racing with too many thoughts.
In this practice we bring about balance in the Air Element through our pranayama breath work and chest opening yoga poses. You will lots of pillows for the opening restorative pose.
