Always pleased to see the Mother Nurture gang at this class - just remember you have to bring your own props! Pregnant women are welcome (let me know!) and it's a good one to get out to once your babe-in-arms can be left for an hour or so. . . Posted @withrepost • @lucymaresh #yogaforallatshilbottlehall Thursdays during school term time, 5.15-6.15pm. Join me for yoga, relaxation and meditation in the lovely Shilbottle Community Hall. A warm welcome awaits for all ages and abilities. . . . Lucy’s yoga method prioritises breathing, and movements which are coordinated with the breath. The practice is experienced in a meditative way, without music. In this class we focus on standing practices which can be done at varying levels of intensity, then move towards seated or lying relaxation and end with a short period of seated meditation. The whole class can be enjoyed with the support of a chair if required. Please bring your own mat, blanket and cushion. There are a few mats to borrow if you’re trying yoga for the first time (or forget your mat!) Every Thursday in school term time. Drop-in £5 – no need to book – just turn up! #yoga #relaxation #meditation #shilbottle #northumberland #shilbottleyoga #shilbottlecommunityhall #lucymaresh

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year "The best Christmas gifts are not found under the tree, but in the heart of a Mother." (unknown author) Wishing all of you a peaceful time this week. There are a lot of expectations for mothers to meet all year round, but it goes off the scale at Christmas! My personal survival strategy has been to continually lower my expectations of myself (and others!) at this time of year. I have realised what my children want the most is my full attention - and that is not always easy to give - but it matters more than anything else. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has taken the time to review or recommend Mother Nurture Yoga this week. I made a little Christmas Tree and Sarah Cottam's name was at the top! A Mother Nurture Massage voucher is on its way to Sarah. X #mothernurturenorthumberland
If you are feeling the need just to press pause and tune in with the season, please remember I have a number of free guided relaxation/meditation practices to listen to online. All you need is a quiet comfy space to lie down - can't guarantee it but sometimes your baby will sleep alongside you... You can also do these practices while snuggled with your baby for a feed or while they are out in the pram with your partner/friend/relative. If you can't get back to sleep in the middle of the night during #pregnancy or when you've been up to feed your #newborn, these practices can be useful too. I've added a link to the linktree in my bio which will take you straight to a midwinter meditation suitable for anyone that needs a nice lie down, or visit the mother nurture website for more options. #guidedrelaxation #mumandbaby #yoganidra #restorativeyoga #restandreset #restisradical #restisrevolutionary #freeyoganidra #totalyoganidra #yoganidranetwork #lucymaresh #shilbottle #northumberland #aspacetobeyogaretreat
Love this ❤️ Posted @withrepost • @fourthtrimestercollective When did it become a standard that motherhood looks beautiful? That doing it 'right' means there is also a gorgeous photo to show for it. That the most special and commendable parts of motherhood are matching outfits, chic baby gear, and all smiles, all the time? This is not ALL of motherhood. And this isn't even close to the most gorgeous moments motherhood can bring. Not to us. To us: Beautiful motherhood exists in the least glamorous moments. In the way our bodies instinctively slow it's rhythmic breathing as our baby dozes off on our chest. It is in the grace we give ourselves as we've missed that shower, for the third day in a row. It is in the moments we step away, because it's all too much, and we honorably give ourselves room to breathe. It is how we have learned to touch and stroke so gently that our fingertips are like feathers. It is how we notice, and can never ever forget those newborn smells. It is when we're raw, and tired, and feeling every emotion imaginable, but choose to show up soft. THIS is our motherhood. The motherhood that is so beautifully real. The motherhood that celebrates the truth. The motherhood that notices mothers. Their feelings. Their existence. To us, it is SO beautiful to find each other in the realness. We notice your beautiful motherhood. And we hope you do too.💜 . . . | Words @fourthtrimestercollective Image @m_melgrati |
I'm hoping some of you might be willing to leave a little review/recommendation on my Facebook page and/or my googlemaps profile. It really helps me - but more importantly it also really helps new Mums who otherwise might not find our little corner of calm and the support that so many of you have told me has helped you through pregnancy and beyond. As a little incentive, everyone who leaves a recommendation in the next 7 days will be entered into a prize draw for a massage or 1:1 yoga session in 2020. I'll pick the winner just in time to get your voucher to you for Christmas. I offer specialist 1:1 support with yoga and massage for women who are pregnant or postpartum and also those who are seeking to conceive. Cut and paste these links to find the relevant pages to leave your comment. Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mothernurturenorthumberland Google: https://g.page/aspacetobe Paste your comment into both Google and Facebook to double your chances of winning! Thanks in advance, Lucy xx #mothernurturenorthumberland #lucymaresh #aspacetobeyogaretreat

Gratitude

For the many hundreds of women and babies that have been part of Mother Nurture Yoga since 2008.

For Tara Fraser – who awakened in me and continues to nurture my inner teacher.

For Uma Dinsmore-Tuli – who teaches me to listen to my womb wisdom.

For Judith Hanson Lasater – who teaches me how to do nothing.

For my own two yoga-babies who teach me about  everything.

Namaste
