Move with Love
A Note from Jane
Gentle movement for body, breath, and bonding
Hi lovely,
Forget bouncing back. This is about moving forward — gently, intentionally, and with love. Movement can be dancing in the kitchen, stretching in bed, or swaying with your baby on your chest. There’s no right way — just your way.
Pregnancy Corner: Support Your Body
Try these two gentle moves every morning:
- 🌀 Pelvic Tilts: Relieves pressure and strengthens your lower core.
- 🐈 Cat-Cow Stretch: Loosens your spine and supports baby’s position.
✨ Pair with breath: Inhale to arch, exhale to round. Move slow. Honour your pace.
Mama & Me Moments: Move Together
Try a 3-minute baby-wearing sway to a soft playlist. It calms your baby and gently strengthens your core and posture.
✨ Need more? Even rocking side to side while holding baby counts. Let movement be intuitive and tender.
🧘♀️ Mini Yoga Moment: Seated Heart Opener
Sit cross-legged or on a chair. Reach one arm up and over to the opposite side. Feel the stretch along your ribs.
✨ Breathe into the side body. Stay for 3–5 breaths on each side. Perfect for creating space in your body and calming tension.
Pregnancy tip:
sit on a cushion to make it room for your bump if you are on the floor, or rest your ball if you have one against the wall and reach down to each side (taking care not to go to far and fall off)
Mum & baby tip:
Do this while baby is on a play mat in front of you and have brightly coloured scarves or a toy in each hand so they are entertained at the same time or in if they are in your lap just make the movement smaller and hold them with the opposite hand :)
