Pregnancy & Postnatal Yoga
Pregnancy Yoga
Tuesdays, 6-7pm, Lifecare Centre, Stockbridge
Pregnancy yoga has so many benefits for both mum and baby, such as improved strength, mobility and posture, helping ease common prenatal aches and pains, as well as reduced stress, anxiety and improved sleep, oxygen levels and baby positioning. As a FEDANT-accredited Active Birth teacher, I weave birth preparation tools into every class, including breathing and relaxation techniques, poses to improve baby’s positioning and help you have a more positive birth.
Postnatal Yoga
Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1-2pm, Lifecare Centre, Stockbridge
My postnatal classes fuse yoga with functional movement to help rebuild your core and pelvic floor, improve your posture and breathing mechanics, strengthen the hips and spine, and help ease stress and anxiety and boost your energy and mood. These classes have a wonderful supportive community and are a great way to meet fellow new mums.
Birth Preparation
As a FEDANT-accredited Active Birth teacher, I run regular birth preparation workshops in Edinburgh
for you and your birth partner. During these movement-based workshops we cover:
The amazing physiology of labour and birth
The anatomy of the pelvis and why babies are born more easily in an Active Birth
How to make the most of your birth environment to support physiology
Positions and movements for labour and birth
Breathing exercises and relaxation techniques to use during labour
Ways your partner can support you during labour
Methods of natural pain relief
How to combine an Active Birth with medical pain relief and interventions

‘I thoroughly enjoy Fern’s classes. She is so down to earth, warm and welcoming. I’ve done the pregnancy yoga classes and recently the baby and me classes, both fab!’
— Emily
‘I attended both Fern's pre and postnatal yoga classes and cannot recommend them enough - they were a gamechanger. I always feel better after a session with her. Fern has an amazing expertise of the physiological changes that go along with pregnancy and postnatally and builds her yoga sessions around this. She also helps women connect and facilitates networks in various ways.’

‘I attended Fern’s yoga throughout my pregnancy starting and now attend postnatal yoga with my baby. Fern creates an incredibly kind, supportive and relaxed space where I have always felt comfortable. Fern is a brilliant yoga instructor and incredibly knowledgeable about pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. The chatty, relaxed feel of the class has meant I have met other mums and it has been lovely to then see them with their babies. Thank you Fern.’
