If you have recently joined our newsletter from the practice or elsewhere, WELCOME.
Our focus is on Pregnancy and Postnatal Fitness, and ways to help mums enjoy the stages in the journey of motherhood.
For a moment, connect into your heart. Place your hand over your heart area, focus a deep breath into the area around your heart. Allow another breath to come in easily, and think. What is THE most important thing in THIS MOMENT? Is it getting a drink of water, closing your eyes, putting your phone down and hugging your baby, your partner or yourself? Take a moment to feel what is important in THIS moment. Motherhood is made up of moments. ENJOY this moment.

Post Pregnancy Exercise
Squats and lunges can be modified to start with, in the first months after having a baby, as your pelvic floor recovers. Deep squats or lunges can put pressure down upon your pelvic floor. Keeping your legs closer together and not going so deep into the move can help to protect your pelvic floor.
