pregnancy yoga classes

Ayala has been practising yoga since she was six years old, and teaching since 1997. She is trained as an Iyengar yoga instructor, giving a depth and sensitivity to practise and teaching, and has studied with BKS Iyengar and his daughter Geeta in Pune, India. She is inspired by practices that support living with deep connection and love, and as such draws from Tantric teachings as well as Buddhism and Taoist (Yin) yoga. Ayala has been practising Vipassana meditation since 1994: she regularly attends silent meditation retreats, and has completed a Dharma Facilitation Training with Christopher Titmuss as a means of deepening her practice and understanding of the Buddhist suttas. She draws from all of these practices to support the whole person, body, mind and heart, in a journey towards wholeness and integration. Ayala's passion for yoga during pregnancy has arisen out of her own experience of yoga during her three pregnancies, and knowing the potential for birth to be an extraordinary and exhilarating experience! She has worked with renowned pregnancy yoga teacher Judith Lasater, and trained with Francoise Freedman from Birthlight. Ayala is also a trained doula, helping women to embody these teachings throughout labour and into motherhood.
