The perfect time to do Yoga is now!
Gentle exercise that fosters strength but with softness, resilience, and calm. Our pregnancy classes are designed to nurture a positive and open mind and body throughout the changing stages of a pregnancy.
All pregnant people can attend this class. Kel, brings lightness, fun, technique and education to her classes, making them accessible to everyone. Kel is a mother and wife and lives with her family in the Adelaide hills. She is a fierce warrior for self-acceptance. Particularly encouraging women, mothers to embrace the body they are in. The world needs us to step into our own unique and authentic selves, to be in our own power, not trying to squeeze into something that is not true to our own being.
Kel is especially passionate about educating women about their body during pregnancy, birth and beyond through yoga. She wants to help guide women on this most sacred journey and to encourage them to step into their power as life givers. There is nothing more phenomenal than bringing forth life!

Postnatal Yoga with Kel Mittal
Mums and Bubs Yoga
Time: Fridays 11:00am – 12:00pm
Mums n Bubs is a class to begin moving your body after birth in a safe and gentle way. Each class will incorporate some sharing time, yoga poses, breath work & relaxation. You are welcome to bring your baby (up until they are crawling). The space will give you the opportunity to connect with other women also walking the motherhood journey.
Benefits:
- Move your new postpartum body in a safe & gentle way
- Connect with other mothers in the local community
- It is a safe space to feed your baby, change the nappy, attend to your baby etc. There is no judgement as everyone is going through this journey of motherhood as well. So please don’t feel anxious about your baby crying during the class & ‘disrupting’ the class
What to Expect:
- To meet other mothers on the motherhood journey
- Breathwork
- To do asanas (yoga poses) suitable for the postpartum body. Different options will be given depending on how many weeks postpartum students are
What to Bring:
- Essentials for baby (nappy, wipes, bottle etc)
- Mat/blanket for baby to lay on if you have, otherwise you are welcome to use a blanket from the studio
- Please note – NO PRAMS – the studio is on the first floor and there is only stair access. There is no safe and secure place to leave prams at the bottom of the staircase either. So please use a baby carrier or carry your baby
All babies are welcome until they are crawling. Women are welcome to attend after their postnatal health check. This is usually 6 weeks after vaginal birth and 8-10 weeks after C-section
