In these nurturing classes, you will be led through asanas (physical postures), and pranayama (breathing techniques), for birth preparation and optimal foetal position, closing with baby visualisations and a deep relaxation. The classes will relieve tension; increase your stamina and flexibility, while also assisting you with stress and anxiety. Often common ailments such as insomnia, backache, and swollen feet are alleviated through regular practice.
Savour this quiet time for your practice as a sanctuary for you to connect with the baby growing inside you; practicing yoga throughout your pregnancy truly is a gift for both yourself and your unborn baby. Recommended from 13 weeks onward.

Mary first turned to yoga as a way of keeping her anchored, fit and sane while working in a manic marketing role. In 2011 she decided to leave that world behind and completed her 200 hour teacher training in Dahab, Egypt; her mother's homeland. The country had an intense pull on her so she relocated there shortly after, teaching her Vinyasa style classes to ex-pats, holidaymakers, Egyptian and Bedouin women, which she describes as an enlightening experience..
Returning to London in 2014 she completed an 80 hour Pregnancy teacher training with Yogamama Ltd, now certified to teach pre/post-natal classes. Mary teaches a dynamic Vinyasa style class, beginning with grounding breathing techniques, flowing physical poses that build strength, tone and flexibility,then ending with a deep relaxation. Classes are always taught with attention, grace and humour, leaving you feeling anchored, relaxed and energised. She is available for private sessions, mini-group sessions, corporate and can also teach women only classes in Arabic.
Currently teaching weekly group classes in Forest Hill, Sydenham and Lewisham, open to mixed ability levels.
