LUSHTUMS

LushTums Postnatal Yoga with Clare – Brighton

Time for you, with your baby right beside you.

The early months with a new baby are wonderful, exhausting and sometimes overwhelming, often all before lunchtime. LushTums postnatal yoga gives you a space to slow down, look after your body and connect with other mums who get it.

Every class starts with our hello circle, a chance to share how you and your baby are doing, whether that’s a milestone, a rough night or a question you’ve been wondering about. Then we move into gentle, effective yoga to rebuild your core and pelvic floor, ease tired shoulders and backs from feeding and carrying, and help you feel strong in your body again. We finish with relaxation, because rest matters, even if it’s only for ten minutes.

Babies are very welcome. Feeding, changing and cuddling during class is completely normal here, so come as you are and join in when you can.

Classes are led by Clare Maddalena, who founded LushTums in Brighton in 2007. Clare is a Senior Yoga Teacher, doula and FEDANT-accredited antenatal educator with 20 years’ experience supporting women through pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Suitable from [6 weeks after a vaginal birth / 8–10 weeks after a caesarean], once you’ve had your postnatal check. No yoga experience needed. Stay with us until babies are on the move.

Book your place on the LushTums website. If you have any questions, just email me. I’m always happy to chat.

What to bring: Comfy clothes, a bottle of water and everything you need for your baby: a blanket for them to lie on, nappies, wipes and a feed. All yoga kit is provided.

Arrive about 10 minutes early so we can say hello and get you and your baby settled.

Let me know how your birth went and anything that’s still bothering you, such as tummy separation, pelvic floor issues, back pain or a healing scar. If you’re unsure whether you’re ready, check with your GP or health visitor first. I’ll always offer alternatives so you can work at your own pace.

Buggy space is limited downstairs, so we need to bring buggies up (I will help), or baby wear.

Feeling low or finding things hard? You’re not alone. Come along anyway, or get in touch to ask about my 1:1 debrief sessions, which can help you process your birth or adjust to motherhood.

Much love,
Clare x
