Kelly, owner of
Nurtured Baby & Me. It's a huge passion of mine to support you from pregnancy, birth and beyond. Connection and community are at the heart
of all my classes so there will always be time to chat to the other mums/mums-to-be.
My pregnancy yoga & relaxation class is designed to nurture and support you throughout your pregnancy, strengthen the body in preparation for
birth whilst alleviating common aches and pains.
Yoga and relaxation for mums is designed to both strengthen and reconnect with your body but also support your emotional well-being too.
Both sessions end with a guided calming relaxation to ease any stress or anxieties and allow you to feel recharged and relaxed.'

'I'm Leanne an absolute birth nerd here to support you throughout the perinatal period, physically, emotionally and educationally.
I offer support to you as you progress through pregnancy and into parenthood with deepened knowledge of pregnancy and postpartum as well as
physiology so you're in safe hands!
My passion for activity has been with me throughout life, though now I get to team it with my other passion of the perinatal period.
Yoga is such a beneficial activity in pregnancy and postpartum as it moves you gently, connecting you physically and emotionally to your changing
body, strengthening it and allowing you to feel the benefits in labour and as your body adapts to parenthood! Come check it out!'
Leanne's classes are based around the
North West Leicestershire area.

want to get moving but for whatever reason you cant get out and about that day. The series is designed to help fill that gap for you, some are live
follow along video's and some have the instructions on the videos to follow.
A new video will be released every month exclusively to our club members first, through our newsletters. They will also feature on our YouTube
channel so if there is ever any you missed or want to try again they are all there for you.
Always make sure you warm up properly before doing any exercise and stretch after.
The video this month is an upper body workout, if you are short on time this one is great and can be extended if you want to make it harder, add an
additional rounds. Suitable for after birth, once you have had your GP checks. Follow along with the video. Let us know how you find it ๐

Post natal return to movement guide
Week by week by Jo
|
Post Natal Return to Movement Guide
|
One of our Active Mums Club ambassadors,
Jo Waller has written a week by week guide to return to physical activity after the birth of your child. Check out the link to view.
We know having a baby is life changing and with it comes so many physical changes and stresses. You may not have been active during pregnancy or
you may have carried on right until birth, either way after birth you need to start gradually and build up. This guide will help you as a starting
point with some suggestions.
Under the post natal page on our website you will also find a host of different types of activities available as well as when and where they are.
