Testimonials:

"I am so pleased I could make it to the last few classes of Mumzzz Yoga and I’ve added the dates in for Term 4, as I would love to keep practicing yoga with you. Your classes are wonderful and I think the times and duration are perfect. Your class always makes me feel so relaxed and human again after the long busy days, running around after little ones and it is great to meet other mums and share some experiences of motherhood."
Trudie, mum-of-two

"The course not only helped me physically but mentally. Each week my confidence on birthing improved and my mind became more positive. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting a positive birthing experience. Katie's energy and positivity are infectious!"
Amanda, Manly

"I found this course really informative and practical. Katie taught us techniques of relaxation, breathing and positions that will be helpful to cope with not only the pains of labour but with whatever unexpected events occur on the day. I would highly recommend this course to all expectant Mums."

Testimonials

Really enjoyable, helpful and put my baby to sleep, good, useful information.
Lynda, Cremorne

Many thanks for today's baby massage session - I think everyone really enjoyed it - for some bubs it was quite obvious - others had delayed effects!  Both Jasper and Alysha had long sleeps this afternoon (which is unheard of for our bubs, who usually wake after one sleep cycle!).
Trinette, Neutral Bay

Post-natal yoga was an amazing experience for me-
~It was a dedicated time per week that was for me!! not chores, husbands, feeding or washing etc.
 ~It was an opportunity to meet, learn and share with other new mums
 ~I found it wonderful physically for recovery from my birth (C-section) and found it helped to ease me  into exercise and the path to returning to my pre-baby state.
 ~It was a very special experience to share with my baby, so much happens in those early months of  life, and it was nice to indulge in time to appreciate her and to learn how to incorporate meditation, baby massage and yoga into our week.
Karen, Cromer

I always looked forward to the class for many reasons. The gentle yoga, stretching and exercises were a fantastic way to graduate into an exercise routine. I loved meeting all the mums and bubs to share our joys and experiences and still meet them today. I always left relaxed from the massage and relaxation.
Sarah, Collaroy Plateau

Great opportunity to do something for myself, yet not feeling guilty about leaving the baby (cos baby comes along!).
 ~Met some wonderful people and now we're good friends)
 ~Really helped me recover from my caesarean
 ~Baby loves it (especially oms)!!!
Sharon, Dee Why

Your course was a highlight of the tough early days with Georgia. It was so great to go to a weekly Yoga class where I could bring my baby and also get a nice workout. It was a nice opportunity to meet and make friends with other mums with a similar outlook.
Wendy, North Balgowlah

Yogababes – at home!

Thanks for the baby yoga massage session.  I found it very detailed and great value for money. It must have worked because when I got home Alysha slept for an hour without waking up, which is rare for her after midday.
Thanks also for the detailed instructions, they will certainly make repeating the massage much easier and I won't have to rely on my post pregnancy brain!
Bettina and Alysha
