Since time began women have gathered in circles. To share experiences, wisdom, empower and support each other in a safe community.

Come and discover your tribe.  Join us for sisterhood, love and support.  

A woman's circle is a safe and sacred space for women to come together, in a supportive friendly manner. 

This group welcomes to all women, all ages, backgrounds and religion.  

 L2Y Pregnancy Yoga course is a wonderful way to prepare for labour and birth.
Each 60-minute class consists of yoga-based exercises & movement, breathing awareness, meditation techniques & a relaxation to keep you fit and healthy during your pregnancy.
The classes are specifically designed as gentle, yet strength building to help you release tension, relax & be comfortable throughout your pregnancy.
You will also learn techniques to help you through labour with or without medical pain management.

The benefits of Pregnancy Yoga include:

• increased strength and flexibility
• improved sleep quality
• better blood circulation
• reduced swelling from fluid retention
• good posture and body awareness
• improved digestion
• reduced back pain
• a small, shared community of pregnant women.

Each class concludes with an opportunity to chat and ask questions about birth related topics.

Your teacher is familiar with many of the physical discomforts that may accompany pregnancy – backache, heartburn, etc - and will be able to show you which postures to avoid and which might aid soothing. 

The Yoga for a Healthy Pregnancy course consists of five consecutive 60-minute classes for £50.

We’ll experience 2-3 mindfulness meditation practices and discuss how mindfulness can be part of everyday life in simple and enjoyable ways. Plus there will be plenty of time to ask questions.

• Feeling more relaxing
• Lowering blood pressure and cortisol levels which cause stress
• Feeling happier and more content in everyday life
• Better sleep

This is a stand-alone workshop but we will also briefly introduce you to the full 8 week Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) programme that this type of mindfulness is based on
