Frequently Asked Questions

Getting started is simple. Either head to the Book tab across the top of the page, or contact me via the contact form saying you’d like to book and I can send the link to you directly.

Please don’t worry, lots of people do. Just drop me a message either via email, the contact form or my social channels and I’ll get back to you asap.

Book the first date that is available and then email me to say you’d like to start sooner than this. Babies have minds of their own, so there is always the possibility that a spot might open up earlier at the last minute.

For my pregnancy yoga and womens yoga classes yes I do. I recommend you book yourself in on the system for the full block so that your space is saved. But then when it comes to BACS you can just pay for the trial class. This works out as £14 for a pregnancy class and £13.50 for women’s yoga. If you do decide to continue, this then gets taken off the block price and you pay the remaining balance.

I do not offer trials for my postnatal classes as these all run in set half termly blocks.

In short, yes. But drop me an email via tash@helloandflow.co.uk and we discuss the ideal number for you.

That is fine, you are welcome to either move over to the other pregnancy yoga class I run on a different day whilst you are on your antenatal course, or you can break up your pregnancy yoga block so it runs before/after it.

Email me with the details and I can arrange this for you no problem.

This can happen for a couple of reasons, either the class on that day is full or I am away so not running a class on that day. I recommend booking in the number that you can, making payment and then emailing me to say you’ve done this. I can then either add you on if there are any spaces not on the system, or add the additional class onto the end.

Sometimes yes there might be the odd spot that hasn't made it to the system. So it’s always worth dropping me a message if you’d like to join and I can update you on my availability and see what I can do.

I always suggest you should wear something that you are comfortable in for doing yoga. Something that enables you to be mobile so that you can move and stretch.

My pregnancy yoga classes are planned so that they are safe for you to do as you continue through your pregnancy. Unlike a ‘normal’ yoga class, these prenatal yoga classes feature more emphasis on preparing your body as it changes throughout your pregnancy, but also to prepare you for birth too. These classes feature breathing techniques designed for birth, and relaxations focussed on bonding with baby. They are slower in pace than a ‘typical’ vinyasa style class you may find at a gym, and only feature postures that are safe to do in pregnancy. You won’t find any big back bends, inversions or lying on your belly in pregnancy yoga.

If you’d like more info about what to expect from pregnancy yoga, please get in touch.

This varies from class to class, but generally they are a mix between Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga. You can expect a nice mix of flowing and static postures. All of which are easy to follow and with various adaptations offered. My classes are aimed to be accessible regardless of how much yoga you have done in the past. Being very experienced teaching yoga for pregnancy - which by its nature has a high number of beginners in it and a regular turnover due to babies being born - I am very skilled at teaching so that you if you’ve never set foot in a yoga class before, you can slot right in and get going as if you’ve been there all along. Every classes features easy to follow breathing to begin with (in pregnancy yoga we do 2-3 different techniques in preparation for birth, in women’s yoga and postnatal yoga we generally do just the one). All of these are very accessible and designed to calm your nervous system down and settle you into class. In my Pregnancy Yoga and Women’s Yoga classes - we finish with a glorious guided relaxation too.

Absolutely! My yoga classes are designed to be super accessible if you’ve never set foot in a class before. The environment is very laid back, the postures totally doable and the breathing really simple. I offer lots of adaptations to things as we go through too, so you can opt for the softer or harder option depending on what you are after on the day.

It’s worth saying too that pregnancy yoga is a very popular time for people to come to yoga for the first time. This means that these classes are often filled with women very new to it too. Equally if you are postnatal - these classes are nice and straightforward so you can keep track of them even with a baby in tow. This also makes them a perfect first class too.

And then because I am very experienced with teaching both pregnancy yoga and postnatal yoga, my teaching style is very much aimed at beginners and those new to yoga (or having only done a little in the past but not for a while!) So if you come to my women’s yoga, you can be safe in the knowledge that you’ll be able to understand and follow the class if you’re a beginner too.

Come as you are, and I will meet you where you are at.

You are very welcome in my pregnancy yoga classes after 12 weeks (once you’ve had your scan) and you can go right up until you have your baby. Lots of ladies start pregnancy yoga around 16-20 weeks, but many start before and after this point too. Even if you are in your third trimester and don’t think you have enough time for a full block of 8 classes before you are due - drop me a message and I can see if I can organise a shorter block for you.

These are all priced based on the location/what your specific requirements are. Drop me an email with a bit of info about your setting and perhaps what you are after (if you know) and we can go from there.

If you don’t have anymore info at the mo other than your location and type of setting that is fine - just drop me a message and I can give you pointers to use to help.
