Congratulations on becoming a mum! Well done; pregnancy really is quite a feat, as is the wonderful world of parenting. Now that you have had your baby, and even if you had your baby a while back, you may realise just what your body went through during your pregnancy.

The Reality of Becoming a Yoga Teacher
Teaching yoga. This has been a dream of mine for so long, and in April this year it finally came true after I qualified to teach. When people asked me what I did for a living, I could finally say, "I'm a yoga teacher!" Amaze! I hadn't, however, given much thought on where … Continue reading The Reality of Becoming a Yoga Teacher
Omg, I taught my first yoga class!
I finally did it-last Monday evening I taught my first yoga class in Central London. I was extra nervous about getting it right as a fellow teacher trainee had recommended me to her friend who needed cover. She told me that the class was a beginner class and that they didn't usually do flow-however, as … Continue reading Omg, I taught my first yoga class!
I Passed!
I did my final practical exam in yoga teaching on Saturday-I wasn't actually nervous beforehand, but more anxious to get it done so that I could teach in real life! I'd practiced the sequence many times on my husband (who is now mega-bendy) and various friends and neighbours, so I knew it like the back of … Continue reading I Passed!

At my prenatal exercise class the other night, my teacher told me that the exercise I had been doing in my barre class were actually quite dangerous! I have always loved Barre and anything ballet based, so thought that I'd be okay to continue throughout my pregnancy. I have read many places that if you … Continue reading Last trimester exercise!

At last-a dynamic prenatal yoga class
After attending prenatal classes at various studios in North London, I ended up not going to my weekly class due to the sheer boredom I normally experience there. I don't use yoga to 'connect with my baby' or 'see the light within'; I have always practiced purely for strength and flexibility which results in a … Continue reading At last-a dynamic prenatal yoga class
Getting sweaty at a prenatal class Frame style
I love Frame. For those of you who haven't heard of it, Frame is a dance/fitness studio with locations including Shoreditch, Queens Park and recently opened (and my local) Kings Cross. Before becoming pregnant, I regularly attended ballet and Music Video classes at the Shoreditch studio. Now, at nearly 14 weeks, I'm only allowed (as … Continue reading Getting sweaty at a prenatal class Frame style
