Yoga Mama Founder
Julie Wilson
Hi, I'm Julie Wilson the woman behind Yoga Mama.
After being faced with a number of health challenges and life changing events in my mid 30’s, I felt like I'd lost touch with who I was and what I wanted in life. Not knowing exactly how it would help but keen to do something positive, I embarked on my first yoga teacher training and found some healthy perspective along with many tools to help heal my body, mind and spirit. That was in 2013.
With my teaching and ongoing learning I've realised that what I seek for myself and my yoga students is to find ways to move with ease, to maintain strength, stability, flexibility and functional movement so we can keep doing the things we love in to our 90's and beyond!
This is the fundamental way I move my body and teach my classes. I truly believe that through specific physical movements integrated with the breath and focused attention and intention, we can nourish our organs, joints, nervous system, improve our response to stress and reconnect to our sense of self to live a full and vibrant life.
Fertility classes have a slightly different focus, to find out why I started teaching this style watch my fertility story below.
Fertility Yoga
Fertility yoga is unique as it is specialised to nourish the areas of the body that relate to reproduction and it is completely safe to continue during the first trimester of pregnancy. The main goals of fertility yoga are to reduce stress, improve pelvic alignment, support circulation to the nerves in the spine and the organs associated with reproduction and to help you find your own strength, calmness and self-acceptance.
You will learn some breathing techniques and physical poses to help reduce stress in your body and mind. Your emotional health is important too, each class raises a discussion about common challenges to having a healthy full term pregnancy and alternative ways of viewing these challenges. The goal of these classes is for you to be able to practice with confidence, be more mindful of the amazing capability of your body, have simple tools to reduce your stress and overall optimise your reproductive health.
Members have unlimited access to all fertility yoga videos.
