Matri Yoga

Cannot recommend enough!

I loved pregnancy yoga with Kate!
I have done a lot of yoga, previously having a daily practice. But when I got pregnant my usual practice made me feel sick and I didn't know how to change my flow. Kate's classes are intuitive and involve meditation and relaxation as well as a strengthening practice, all the while weaving in little tips we could try at home and for labour and birth. I left with a bag of tricks to take into labour with me.

Kate is warm, and funny and made me feel like an instant friend. Kate also creates this safe environment where I was able to connect with other pregnant women, who have since become my mum friends!
Preggy yoga was about the best part of my week during pregnancy.
On the day of my birth, Kate was sending me messages of love throughout.
Knowing there was a cheer squad of strong women close by, and using tips I had learned through 2 terms of preggy yoga with Kate, I was able to birth my baby naturally without any interventions.

My little son and I now love going every week to mums and bubs yoga!

I did the Matri Yoga third trimester yoga for birth classes with Kate during somewhat 'normal' covid times where birth classes at hospitals were still online. I was able to prepare mentally and physically for the birth of my daughter with Kate who gave me an abundance of strategies and resources.

Kate made each class unique, was flexible and adapted to the needs of the mums-to-be in the class. I think every woman left class taking away something different that was going to support them, which goes to show the range of strategies that were on offer. Kate shared her own experiences and expertise as well as providing extra resources to look into if we wished.

The classes were a combination of relaxation techniques and breathing/focus strategies that support women to be grounded and anchored in labour and preparation for the physical side of labour with strengthening techniques and positions. I went into my induction feeling prepared and able thanks to all the skills I learnt with Kate.

I can highly recommend the 3rd trimester yoga for birth classes with Matri Yoga. Kate was a huge support in the lead up to birthing my daughter and I will be going back for round two when the time comes.

Love Kate's approach to sharing yoga for a healthier life style. Always feel like I have done something special for me after her classes.

I first met Kate teaching mums and bubs yoga. The class quickly became the highlight of my week. I was also lucky enough to attend one of her mini day retreats last year. Kate’s lovely and her classes are welcoming & well structured.

Kate shares her embodied wisdom in an authentic way.creating a space which both devoted to the Yoga tradition, and very real and tangible in our modern day context. I felt safe, held and nurtured from the first class. Thank you Kate, your experience and dedication to both Yoga and motherhood are a blessing

Kate is a wonderful yoga teacher. I have found her prenatal course to be a "must" through my pregnancy, not only for how good it makes me feel but for preparation for labour. Her meditations and wisdom are hugely beneficial. I highly recommend Kate x

Yoga Classes with Kate from Matri Yoga are so nourishing! Kate holds a beautiful balance of playful energy as well as a deep and thorough knowledge of correct posture. I feel really safe in her classes - wish I was pregnant again to go to more!

I love Kate’s classes, it’s like she knows exactly which poses we need to do each session. Even though sometimes I have to will myself to get there, I, and my body, are always so grateful and relaxed by the end of each class. I highly recommend Matri Yoga classes for everybody,

I meet Kate when she was teaching pre-natal yoga in Melbourne. She’s a great teacher with an amazing energy & spirit. Her classes were a special part of my pregnancy. Sadly for me she moved to Geelong before I could do mums & bubs with her! I’ve since done a lovely mini-retreat with her at Freshwater Creek. Quite simply - she’s a gem

My prenatal yoga experience with Kate goes back to when she was working in Melbourne. The whole experience over the time I was pregnant was amazing - it definitely gave me so much confidence going into my labour which in itself was actually a much better experience due to Kates body and mind prep through her yoga classes.

I did prenatal yoga with Kate and one of her retreats and I absolutely loved it! Kate has so much knowledge and experience to share, and I feel like her support throughout my pregnancy and after has been invaluable. Thank you!

Kate is a wonderful yoga teacher. I was lucky enough to have her teach me prenatal yoga for my last pregnancy, as well as go on one of her retreats. She is an inspiring teacher with a wealth of knowledge. I felt very nurtured in her classes and only wish we lived closer together so I could continue going to her classes.

I've been to Kate for pre natal yoga, mums and bubs, and then a mini retreat sans all offspring! I love her teaching, down to earth, inclusive, mindful, honouring the development of your own yoga practice. The only negative is that she moved from Melbourne to Geelong!

Kate provided an integral part of my pregnancy journey. Being pregnant with my 5th big baby, yoga enabled my body to be strong, open and supple while assisting with good positioning of my baby so that we could enjoy yet another beautiful smooth gentle homebirth. Thanks Kate.
In love & light,
Lyndelle

Pre and post natal (mums and bubs yoga) classes with Kate we’re just what I needed. Throughout pregnancy, in preparation for birth and then in adjusting to life as a mum Kate was a beautiful support, assisting me to look after myself physically and mentally. Thanks Kate!
