With 2024 coming to an end, I've been reflecting a lot this morning on how much YBB has grown since coming back from my maternity leave (maybe because it feels like my next maternity leave is just around the corner). It has been so amazing watching this wonderful community grow, and meeting so many fabulous mums and mums to be at The Pre & Postnatal Events we have done this year.
2024 started with our second Mum to be TLC at CAYC, a beautiful afternoon co-hosted with Bells, where we moved through different styles of prenatal yoga, held a hypnobirthing workshop and ate lots of delicious cake with endless cups of tea.
Followed shortly by the Prenatal Yoga & Hypnobirthing Workshop at The Space, a lovely intimate morning for a group of amazing mums, focussing on positive birth affirmations, restorative yoga and hypnobirthing scripts.
The summer saw our first in person Hypnobirthing Course at CAYC, held across two glorious sunny days, running through the power of Hypnobirthing with a few wonderful couples, this was such a success that we have actually launched another date for a January 2025 Hypnobirthing Course too!
Later in the year it was wonderful teaming up with Jess of Love Eden for our Postnatal Yoga and Baby Massage Brunch at CAYC, I loved learning about the amazing benefits of baby massage, such as:
How this stimulation is so beneficial for our babies immune system, by boosting their circulatory and lymphatic systems, flushing toxins and increasing activity of white blood cells in their bodies.
Baby massage can improve communication and language skills and work as a relief on the digestive system.
It is a wonderful form of relaxation for both mum and baby - reducing stress hormones, producing oxytocin, as well as reducing symptoms of postnatal depression for mums!
The end of September saw the beautiful Prenatal Pamper at Revive, with the most empowering women's circle after our Prenatal Yoga session, this really was such an amazing reminder of how pregnancy can bring people together, I felt so honoured hosting an event where so many women shared their stories and uplifted each other, I loved seeing some wonderful friendships form at this event - most of the mums are actually still in touch with each other now!
Our Pre & Postnatal Yoga Events concluded with some very special collaborations, and I felt honoured to have been asked to teach Prenatal Yoga for the launch of the new Joolz Hub2 pushchair at The Hoxton, as well as Postnatal Yoga for Totter + Tumble.
All in all, it has been an amazing year, with so many fun event and meeting endless inspiring mums. I have loved hosting these Pre & Postnatal Yoga Events around London, with more to come in 2025!
I also have something incredibly exciting brewing to be launched early next year! Sign up to my mailing list to be the first to know.
