Hi everyone, and welcome.

I’d love to take a moment to introduce myself and share why I offer these prenatal online yoga classes.

My name is Karen (Yoga-Mimi), and I’m deeply passionate about supporting women through pregnancy in a way that feels nurturing, empowering, and safe. Pregnancy is such a unique and transformative time—physically, emotionally, and mentally—and I truly believe that having the right support can make a meaningful difference in how you experience it.

My journey into prenatal yoga began with a genuine desire to help women feel more connected to their bodies and their babies during this special phase. I’ve seen first-hand how mindful movement, breathwork, and relaxation can ease common discomforts, reduce stress, and build confidence as you prepare for birth.

Alongside my in-person classes at The Yoga Barn in South Cave, I’ve chosen to offer these online sessions so you can practice at your own pace, in your own space, and at times that suit you best—especially on days when attending in person isn’t possible.

I first began teaching prenatal yoga before the first Covid lockdown and continued supporting women online via Zoom throughout that time, before returning to in-person classes.

Since then, I teach four weekly classes at The Yoga Barn on Mondays: Slow Flow Yoga, Vinyasa Flow Yoga, Pregnancy Yoga, and Mum & Baby Yoga. I also run regular Baby Massage courses, as well as monthly Restorative Yoga and Yoga & Brunch events.

In 2024, I launched my first Mallorca Yoga and Activities Retreats—the first sold out in just three days! Since then, I’ve hosted four retreats, with two more already fully booked. In 2025, I also began hosting weekend retreats in the Peak District, including a beautiful Wintering Retreat with a festive Christmas market weekend.

I feel incredibly grateful to do this work, and I’m really looking forward to supporting you throughout your pregnancy journey.
