Which Antenatal course is suitable for me and my birth partner?

Ideally you don’t want to attend an Antenatal course from 6 months into your pregnancy as your birth options and ideas may change closer to your due date. You also don’t want to forget any information and you want to attend a course with other families who are due at a similar time.

You also (ideally) don’t want to attend an antenatal course too close to your due date, where you may risk not making all of the classes, or being too uncomfortable.

If one of the course dates doesn’t suit you, you’d prefer a 1-1 or to pay with a payment plan. I will do as much as I can to accommodate your needs, so please do DM me with any questions.

Sharing the next few course dates and some wonderful 25% discount Early Bird offers for.

What a wonderful last week of classes.

2024 has been one of the busiest yet! Over 150 new mothers have stepped onto a mat. Many of whom I have taught every single week in 2024 (pretty much) as they move from class to class transitioning through their journey into motherhood and navigating matrescence.

It is has been an absolute honour to meet every single one of you and to hold space for you and your journey each week.

We have laughed (a lot), you’ve made me cry a lot (happy tears, and you know who you are!) we’ve supported each other, offered hugs, ears to listen and shoulders to lean into. And you’ve eaten a lot of cake and drank a lot of cups of tea @unionramsgate

We’ve spread our wings and branched out to connect to our Margate mums over @margate_yoga_studio

And added an additional crawling / on the move yoga class for our babies too!

I have watched some absolute MEGA friendships blossom under our roof. This is what Motherhooding Yoga is all about … creating a village for you.

YOU ARE ALL INCREDIBLE MOTHERS!

So here’s to you, class of 2024!

Have a wonderful Christmas and new year!

And I’ll see you back on the mat in Jan 💖💖💖

Love you all
Kat 💖

Yesterday was quite a special day. I returned to the lovely @margate_yoga_studio to teach mum and baby yoga.

Many of you might not know, that I was once the owner of this yoga space. We lovingly converted it from an old bank to a warm and cozy yoga studio which is now owned by the lovely Katya.

I got the keys to our new big adventure… and then three days later found out I was pregnant. My partner did all the manual hard work; ripping up and laying the floor, lighting, painting, plumbing. But being a new mum was so consuming, and being a new business owner is so consuming… and something had to give.

Picture number 2 was the first downward dog done in the space, to celebrate the floor going in, with a very very tiny Roux growing inside.

Picture number 1 is yesterday, half term. And almost 7 years later we return, together to teach mum and baby yoga.

So we’re back in Margate! And it feels so right to return to this space.

See you in class soon.

Hello 👋🏼 I’m Kat, founder and face of Motherhooding. And I thought it’s been a while since I’ve shown my face and I should probably reintroduce myself as there’s lots of new followers with a few random facts.

- I am currently a yoga teacher, antenatal educator & registered doula but I also design children’s books. Though I’ve had lots of other random jobs in the past…

- I’ve been a Fashion assistant on ‘How to Look Good Naked’, music videos and London fashion week. I’ve worked in an advent calendar chocolate factory, designed caravan, stamp collection and psychic magazines.

- currently going through an addiction to buying crazy coloured and patterned trousers, the more outrageous the better. This is also now moving into coats…

- I have a 6 year old daughter and a 7 year old whippet / iggy. I love my daughter to bits but hate soft play, role play, any sort of pretending… our favourite things to do together are bake/cook, go for walks or bike rides, explore and laugh together.

- I love to travel, and most days I dream / plan where we can go to next. (A month in Vietnam is next in April)

- I love love love my jobs, and have a wonderful balance right now of sitting at home alone, creating books at home for kids and working in the community, teaching, meeting and connecting others through yoga.

- after 5 strong years of barely opening a book (one of my favourite hobbies pre-kid) joining a local book group has catapulted my right back into the land of book reading and I couldn’t be happier about that.

Looking forward to meeting you in class. 💖

#aboutme #hello #welcome #community

When I read this google review; tears flooded my eyes. A review just can’t get any better than this for me.

A mother I’ve had the absolute pleasure of being with each week from early on in her pregnancy at yoga, guiding her and her partner through antenatal courses, and then meeting again on the other side, at mum and baby yoga, right up until maternity leave ended.

What a journey, what a gift to spend so much time together, we’ve laughed, cried, hugged, learnt from each other and grown together in those 16 months.

All of my mums bring something special to each class every week, leaving an imprint behind of themselves and their babies in my heart and on the mat. What a special bunch you all are

*spoiler alert: I absolutely did NOT make her a better mother, she excelled in that all by herself 🥰

Things you DON’T NEED when you’re expecting a baby.
- a nappy bin (wtf just pop it in your outside bin)
- a complete baby’s room (it is advised that baby stays in your room for 6month)
- tiny little cute baby shoes (they can’t walk)
- to spend all of your money on expensive baby items you probably don’t even need / will never use.

What you do need:
- practical information on your birth choices
- to feel empowered and positive about your birth and when baby is earth side.
- for your birth partner to be informed and on your team
- a village of families
- support
- a postnatal plan
- a freezer full of food

What I can’t offer you is the first list. What I can offer you is what you actually DO NEED (apart from a freezer full of food)

From the get go at 12 weeks you can start to build your village at PREGNANCY YOGA and start to learn about your birthing body and pain management techniques.

At my FEDANT accredited ANTENATAL COURSE I can offer you and your birth partner the support, the knowledge and hands on practical advice on how to feel empowered and understand a physiological and a medical birth, and your CHOICES! Where you also get to meet other amazing local families.

And postnatally, I can offer you a village. MUM & BABY YOGA. A whole group of support, not just ‘yoga’ women raising women. Mums looking after and supporting other mums. Babies interacting and you all making friends over tea as you move and breathe and and look after yourself.

When you become part of Motherhooding, we’re not here for you once, we’re here for your whole entire Motherhood journey.

All you have to do is arrive, and you’re part of our village.

“Mummy when I feel sad or grumpy, when you hug me I feel safe and calm” she whispered in my ear randomly today.

And that to me is all that I need to know that I’m doing ‘this’ ok. Even if sometimes I think I’m not. When I doubt it. When I lose me patience or struggle to manage my own feelings in a melt down moment. I always ask if she wants a hug, sometimes selfishly because I feel like I need one to manage my own emotions in that moment.

Hugs are always the answer for us in these moments. Hug it out. Hugs for the win! Parenting is hard and when your at your limits, that’s when you both need it the most.

The cheapest, easiest, most beneficial for all antidote, no matter their or your age.

On our final night in India, my daughter and I were playing on the swings overlooking the river and I shared with her the story of my first time in India.

I spoke about how I went on this big adventure to India all on my own, and how scared and excited I was. How I went all that way to learn how to teach yoga, I had butterflies in my stomach the whole time, anticipating this journey alone. How as soon as I arrived in the town, Agonda, I felt at home, at peace, how much I felt comforted by the smells; colours, smiles, people, textures and tastes. And how I fell in love with this place in an instant, and all that fear and loneliness disappeared.

Listening to my story Roux replied; “But you were never alone Mummy, I have always been with you, i was a little tiny egg in your tummy.”

🥹🥹

Yes you have been, in my heart, my head, my dreams. you have always and forever will be with me.

I look up in wonder at the branches of these two trees as we eat our dinner in Kochi, India.

… or is it algae, lungs, caphillaries, veins, a placenta, or cells under a microscope?

It reminds me again and again that We are one. We are from one source, all interconnected.

And there’s nowhere like Mama India to remind me of that.

I am home. (But also on holiday)

#indiatravels #onesource #connected #life #india #kerela

PLAY. What does that look like to you?

I stopped really playing & pushing myself in yoga after Pregnancy. I found comfort in slowing down, my body felt very different. It creaked and felt soft in places that it didn’t before. It yearned for rest and stretching.

But now I’ve refound an old friend, the joy, the smiles, the raised heartbeat, the adrenaline of fun, playing and falling with yoga asana, thanks to @the_yoga_coop @unionramsgate

I haven’t done a handstand, crow, headstand or anything ‘hard’ in yoga for 6 years. 6 years!!! I’ve always opted out.

But here I am, bossing a headstand! Trying transitions I haven’t ever been able to do before, sometimes failing spectacularly and other times triumphing and beaming with joy after.

I’ve spent weekday school afternoons playing handstands with my daughter. Something as a kid I used to spend hours doing. The joy & laughter on both our faces.

And wow it feels good to be back!
