Pregnancy and early motherhood can be a beautiful and transformative time in your life. It can also be a time of change and uncertainty, where a little extra support is welcomed. In my programs I share my best tips, tools and of course yoga practices so that you feel empowered and ready for the changes to come.
About Me
Hi! I'm Bethany! I'm an expat mom of two young children (ages 4 & 1), with a passion for pre and postnatal wellness. I grew up in the US, and moved to Sweden over 10 years ago.
I am an E-RYT 200 hour yoga teacher, with specialised education in pre and postnatal yoga. I have been teaching yoga full time since 2014, and during this time have worked in-person with hundreds of women in my pregnancy and mamma baby yoga programs, and even more with my digital programs.
Mamma Baby Yoga
Upcoming Classes & Courses:
Lund:
- Now offering drop-in classes! Classes held on Fridays at 13.35 at N Yoga in Lund. Join as a single session or save with a 5- or 10-times clip card (klippkort). Book a class!
Malmö:
- 8 Week Course: Starting 3 April (Wednesdays at 10:30). Book this course! *No class 1 May*
- 4 Week Course: Starting 8 May. (Wednesdays at 10:30). Email for more info.
The classes include gentle baby yoga and massage for your baby so you can practice together, and also time just for you to practice and move with your baby close to you.
We focus on stretching and strengthening postures, breathing and meditation techniques just for postpartum women. Special attention in class is given to realigning your body – especially the shoulders, neck and back – resulting from carrying and nursing your baby.
No yoga experience necessary, often women take their first yoga class during pregnancy or early postpartum. Classes are open for women 6-12 weeks after delivery, and you can attend up until your baby is crawling (or sitting happily in a baby sitter).
An important note, babies will make noises, cry and wiggle around – this is ok! We are all mothers here, and the classes are flexible to how the babies will be feeling each class. Come as you are and this community is here to support you!
Classes are led in English.
