Grow Yoga

Pregnancy yoga with Alice was so wonderful I went along with all 3 of my pregnancies! She creates a calm and relaxed environment in which to enjoy some safe, gentle exercise and bond with your baby bump. She also opens up the room to conversation with other expectant mums where you can discuss pregnancy-related discomforts and joy, bringing a sense of community to the group. I would thoroughly recommend this class if you are expecting a baby!
Once my baby had arrived we joined Lisa for Mum and Baby Yoga - again I would highly recommend this class! There is yoga for baby which is a lovely bonding experience with your baby followed by some highly beneficial yoga for mum, working on all areas that have become weakened by pregnancy, labour and the physical demands of carrying a newborn baby around all day. At the end, Lisa brings us a cup of tea and a piece of cake and we all have a great chat about our week.

I absolutely loved this yoga class. Lisa is so supportive and kind, she creates a lovely environment for you to enjoy with your baby. She has great advice and stretches for mum’s postnatally and the stretches and songs for the babies are fun too. It’s a very chilled environment to help you bond with your baby. If you have to spend the whole session feeding or cuddling your baby that’s absolutely fine. There is tea and cake at the end and a chance to catch up with the other mums so even if you don’t get to do much yoga it’s worth being there!

I highly recommend Grow Yoga, Alice is an excellent and very knowledgeable teacher, I always had the best sleep after attending so must have come away feeling very relaxed! It is also a wonderful time to connect with your growing baby and meet other mums to be.

I did Pregnancy Yoga with Alice through my second and third trimester and couldn't recommend it enough. Alice creates a fantastic environment to enable you to relax and connect with your baby whilst providing you with relevant techniques for labour and a support network of other expecting mum's!

I really enjoyed my time at Grow Yoga whilst I was pregnant, it helped with the aches of pregnancy but also gave me space to refocus from the worries of being pregnant and day to day stresses.

Alice provides great techniques to use through your birth. In classes we also discussed child birth and how to approach it with a positive mind frame. I found all of this really helped me have a positive birthing experience and I’m so glad I went to grow yoga!

It was also lovely to be around other pregnant women and share our concerns through pregnancy, it really puts your mind at ease!

I highly recommend Alice’s classes and I’m now looking forward to the Mum & Baby yoga this year.

When I was halfway through my pregnancy, I was really looking for a local mother-focussed yoga practise to enable me to slow down, have a weekly routine focussing on my baby and hopefully forming a community of new mums in my area. I've attended (almost) weekly for the last few months of my pregnancy and loved it. Alice is a wonderful teacher who focuses on all of the above. Would recommend highly! I will be following up with the Grow Yoga Mum & Baby when the little one arrives :).

My son and I have loved this mum and baby class. We have done 2 terms and started when my boy was 5 weeks old. He still got involved in some of the session at that age and now he enjoys all of it. Alice and Lisa made us all feel welcome and at ease if baby didnt want to do anything but feed/ nap or even cry. It was all classed as normal and no one was made to feel embarrassed if we turned up late or had a cranky baby one week. The other mums and babies on the classes are so friendly. The classes were enjoyable and changed each week so you and baby weren’t doing the same thing week on week. All in all I would completely recommend this class and I am sad that mine and my boys time at mum and baby yoga has come to an end.

Yoga with Alice has been one of the foundation blocks of my pregnancy and I’m so thankful to have found this prenatal class! During times of worry yoga has kept me calm, helped me to stay mobile and taught me techniques that were really important during the birth of my son. Thank you Alice! I’ve since spent 12 weeks at mum & baby yoga which has given me a focus in those hazy first weeks and a new community of other mums to call my friends. Lisa’s flexible split of yoga for mum and massage for baby has been great. We are sad to finish this class!
