From pregnancy to parenthood, our club members are on the most epic adventure of their lives. We are honoured to share their stories here - the highs, the lows and everything in between. 

Our antenatal instructors open up about their lives too, and we hope you find comfort and inspiration from a community bringing new life into the world, and those supporting it along the way.

We also use this space to share moments from our special events, which are exclusively for our club members. Follow us on Instagram to keep in the know about upcoming events.

Hove Postnatal Yoga & Brunch

Fifteen mums and babies joined us upstairs at Rockwater for a super uplifting morning of yoga, brunch and socialising. We don’t often get to hang out with our club members once their babies have arrived, so it was really special and so much fun spending time with this incredible bunch of women and their adorable little ones! Thank you Beth Nash for leading the wonderful class and to everyone who joined us.
