Testimonials

“I started Sarah’s course at 24 weeks pregnant and continued until almost the end of my pregnancy! It was the perfect way to unwind in the middle of the week, stretch out my growing body, connect with other mums and generally relax and focus on just me. I would definitely reccomend trying this course, even if you haven’t done yoga before. Thank you Sarah” – Charlotte

“Sarah’s pregnancy yoga class has helped me in many ways, due to multiple pregnancy loss, I was very anxious. Sarah’s classes helped me relax, get a good night sleep, connect with my baby, meet other mums due at a similar time. I feel very comfortable in my third trimester, I think this is down to the yoga, the stretching and strengthening preparing me for birth. I would highly recommend this class to women who are pregnant, I love this class! Thank you, Sarah.” – Laura
