Focusing on strengthening the core, over all toning and mental restoration. The tribe atmosphere really creates a wonderful sense of community and unification amongst mothers who want to be able to socialise with their children in a relaxed environment.
These events are so beneficial for boosting wellbeing and confidence in women and children. Grab a pair of leggings and bring a friend - zero experience needed!
Mamatribe Yoga Benefits:
Core Strength
A strong core stabilises your lower back, strengthening the abdominal area, which improves the body's balance and coordination.
Flexibility and Balance
Increasing muscular flexibility means your posture is likely to improve. Working your body allows you to have proper alignment and correct any imbalances. Plus, with an increased range of motion you may find it easier to sit or stand in certain ways.
Socialise baby with other babies
Building confidence and engagement, learning their temperaments and supporting them to be confident around other babies and to see and sense the world around them.
Bonding Time
It gives a parent ‘timeout’ with their baby and provides them with yoga tools to use at home. For parents, it allows a special bonding to happen amid a time of chaos.
Pelvic Floor
In addition to strengthening and stabilising the pelvic floor for reduced pain and risk of disorder, Yoga for the pelvic floor can help improve body awareness and control of the muscles.
Massage
Restorative stomach massage and yoga sequences to aid digestion. This can help with common infantile issues such as wind, colic and constipation.

Frequently Asked Questions
A yoga mat if you have your own, and also a cushion and or blanket if you would like to stay for Savasana (restful relaxation) at the end of the class. It is important you bring a bottle of water to keep hydrated during and after class and any blocks or straps to aid movement. I do provide blocks and straps free of charge and hire mats for a small fee.
Loose fitted or stretchy/flexible clothing. It can be nice to wear an extra long-sleeved top to start and finish the class to allow your body to stay warm whilst warming up and cooling down.
To aid balance, a 4mm thick yoga mat is best for my classes for optimal connection between you and the ground.
Ideally, allow 2 hours before a class to eat any large meals or eat a small snack an hour beforehand. It is highly recommended to drink plenty of fluids during the day prior to your class to ensure you keep hydrated.
Absolutely, you can. It is better and safer to practise yoga initially with a reduced ROM (range of movement) as hyper mobility can lead to injury when starting out. It is also great to measure your progress over the time and to explore how differently your body feels in this beginning state compared to how it feels after regular practise.
Reuben lacks confidence when trying new activities and he can become frustrated when he thinks he can’t do something. Lauren's welcoming environment helps children feel relaxed, confident and encouraged. Reuben loves his Saturday morning yoga with Lauren and it's a positive, mindful start to the weekend.

Lauren is great with the children and engages with them on a fun and vibrant level. The children learn something new from each session and feel very energised afterwards. Lauren is attentive, welcoming and awe-inspiring! We cannot recommend her highly enough!
Thurston Pre-School
I regularly attend Ren Yoga's adult class on Thursday evenings. When I started, I did attend the beginners class in the mornings. Lauren is very encouraging, enabling you to develop your poses and always very supportive to offer an alternative.
