Well Woman yoga

Well Woman Yoga is a specific path to yoga, and indeed involves specialised training courses, in order to teach it.

It is a uniquely, therapeutic approach, as it was designed by women for women, and takes into account the fact that our bodies are different to men’s and, to a degree, to each other’s and that we are also creatures of cycles. These cycles are honoured in the sessions.

Bernadette undertook both part one & part two of the Well Woman teaching diploma in 2011-12 with Dr Francoise Freedman and combined with her 30 years of overall yoga teaching/ therapy experience, has developed her own approach, whilst also staying true to all the tenets of Well Woman yoga-the most important underpinning of it all being “grounding”- physical, mental & emotional.

Diastasis Support with Yoga Therapy for all women

Diastasis Rectus Abdominis (Diastasis Recti) seems to have increased in the last two decades. This midline separation of women’s abdominal wall associated with pregnancy is often left untreated during the postnatal period and in later years.

This condition is not prevented by keep fit practices, including some forms of yoga for pregnancy. Yet with a balanced yoga practice, the midline tissue of the Linea Alba can be expected to be flexible and strong enough to withstand most pregnancies. A healthy abdominal wall is essential for a pain-free lower back, urinary continence, sexual health and pelvic organ support.

Bernadette has trained with Francoise Freedman of Birthlight & offers bespoke practices, for various forms of Diastasis Recti and umbilical hernias, which can all occur in pregnancy & the post natal period and may often remain undiagnosed for many years. So whether this is a condition that has not been addressed for many years, or you are experiencing it post natally or you are aiming to heal between pregnancies, there are simple, highly effective yoga based techniques that can make a positive impact.

Bernadette offers bespoke 1-1 yoga therapy for Diastasis recti in your own home or local studio.– contact Bernadette to find out more

See testimonial below to see how Bernadette can help with Diastasis Recti:

“I was diagnosed with diastasis recti around 10 months after giving birth. My condition was particularly concerning as I had more than 3cm gap so I was prescribed physio by my GP, but after a couple of months it didn’t seem to work at all. It was only by chance that I found out that Bernadette was an expert on this issue and, as I loved her antenatal yoga classes and the labour and breathing rehearsal, I started training with her in 1-1 sessions”

Mindfulness

Learn practices to help quieten the mind, reducing anxiety & stress levels. In our busy, capital city there can often seem to be no time to literally take a deep breath.

Many of us sit all day facing computer screens and find ourselves multi-tasking more & more, whether at home or work or both.Our sleep, appetite, immune system & peace is easily scattered. It doesn’t have to be like this…

Bernadette offers 1-1 Mindfulness sessions in your own home or local yoga studio. She can also offer to small/large groups either informally or to corporate clients. Please contact her for more information.

Learn practices to help quieten the mind, reducing anxiety & stress levels and enhancing a more grounded and calm state of being.

Australian Bush Flower Essences

Australian Bush Flower Essences are catalysts that can help with self healing, by helping people to work through and resolve a vast range of negative emotional states and imbalances and to develop intuitive awareness. The rationale behind their use for healing is based on the belief that when emotional balance is restored, true healing takes place; that much physical illness is the end result of emotional imbalance.

A detailed consultation is carried out before any essences are prescribed. They are not intended to be used as a substitute for medical treatment, yet can act in a supportive way.

Flower essences have been used throughout this planet by many cultures for millennia to promote healing in body, mind & spirit. I am consistently excited and humbled how these essences work with our intuitive selves, which always know what’s right for us.

If you are interested in working with these flower essences for healing on a deep level, I am currently offering consultations at a very special introductory fee, until 31 January 2020.

“I have found it incredibly enjoyable to listen to. Bernadette’s voice is clear and calm. The speed is just right and it is as if she is in room with him talking especially to me. I have never been big on meditation nor mindfulness but this is such a pleasure to listen to that I actually look forward to my 45 minutes of me time. I feel much rested and regenerated.”

Empowered Labour

Pelvises are like a set of fingerprints, although similar in many ways they are also unique to each individual.

By familiarising yourself with the shape of your own pelvis, choices can be made regarding which positions and movements you use throughout labour and birth that work with your unique structure.

Benefits of Well Woman yoga

I have been practicing Well woman yoga continuously for the past 4 years. It has become part of my life. It is a safe space for me to just be. I have learnt that subtle often means deep… When I first joined, body & mind were very much two separate things in my book & now I can say that I am able to connect with my body & my inner wisdom more & more. I know what serves me & what doesn’t.

I’ve learned a lot of techniques that I use in my day to day life, particularly breathing techniques, which I value very much. I am sure Well Woman Yoga has helped me reduce my fibroid from 8cm to 0.5cm.

on the benefits of Well Woman yoga

I wanted to get back to a yoga class that would be gentle on my knees and strengthening for my prolapsed bladder.The classes are refreshingly surprising every week with a mix of mudras, lovely readings and variety of props to enable participation and my expectations have been definitely exceeded.

I realised quite soon that it is a process of ‘unlearning’ for me which has timed perfectly with changes in my consciousness – I need to be gentle with myself.  A huge Yes for pelvic floor support exercises and some of them are very easy to incorporate outside of class and the alternative postures that extend the range of movement in my knees.

I would recommend these classes especially to women of my age or who have not tried yoga or who gave it up in the past. Bernadette’s experience and commitment to yoga is demonstrated by her range and breadth of knowledge which is superlative, I learn something new every week.  Bernadette is mindful of individual needs and offers an extensive range of alternative practices tailored to personal need.  Classes are held in a relaxed, calming and supportive environment with an emphasis on enjoyment and some fun along the way!
