Yoga With Alice D

Yoga With Alice D Inclusive, dynamic and relaxing yoga embracing the strength of being a woman at every life stage Welcome to the Yoga With Alice D. Are you scared of yoga?

Do you feel you won’t be able to do it ‘properly’ or all the other ladies will be younger and more flexible and you will feel out of place? My classes are VERY DIFFERENT from ‘drop in’ gym classes. I absolutely do not care what age you are; what shape you might be; how fit you are; or if you have any yoga experience. My women’s classes focus on sensation over form - how does each pose feel? We are

all blessed with our own unique bodies and so everyone’s individual practice will be beautifully different - it is about your own self-care journey. YogaBellies® sessions incorporate a range of yogic and holistic techniques which create a unique experience for our clients. Our sessions incorporate traditional yoga asanas (postures), self-hypnosis and deep relaxation. YogaBellies® classes are entirely unique and our class formula means that 86% of our class attendees have never set foot in a yoga class before. We make sure our classes are non-scary, non-threatening, welcoming and open to all levels of practitioner. We believe that yoga is accessible to everyone. I am delighted to offer:
YogaBellies for Pregnancy
YogaBellies for Fertility
YogaBellies for Mum & Baby
Nurture by YogaBellies (Baby Massage)
YogaBellies for Women
YogaPause (Yoga for 35+ Women)

Back to school. Back to you. 🤍
At the school gates this morning, I saw so many familiar faces—women who once came to my classes with babies in their arms, now watching those same children walk into school for the very first time.
It is such a strange, heart-wrenching milestone.
We spend years helping our children become independent. We encourage them to take those little steps away from us—and then suddenly, there they are, walking through the school gates into a whole new chapter.
It is a huge transition for them, but it is a transition for us too.
There can be pride, excitement and relief, alongside sadness, worry and the feeling that time has somehow moved far too quickly. Perhaps there is also a little space opening up—and the question of what we might place within it.
For me, September often feels more like a new year than January. It brings a natural opportunity to reset our routines and think about what we would like to return to—not necessarily by doing more, but by making space for something that supports us.
If yoga hasn’t been part of your regular routine recently, this could be a lovely moment to come back to it.
There are several ways to practise with me this September:
✨ Monday Evening Women’s Yoga at Halton Village Hall
✨ Wednesday Lunchtime Women’s Yoga at Wendover Memorial Hall
✨ Saturday morning Yoga in the Woods throughout September
✨ And online women’s classes coming very soon, offering another way to make yoga fit around your life
Different days, different settings and, soon, the option to practise from home—but all offering a little time to move, breathe and reconnect with yourself.
Back to school. Back into routine. And, perhaps, gently back to you. 🤍
Bookings are available through my website.

93% of mothers surveyed said they experience burnout.
And 58% said they feel burned out often or almost always.
The research also found:
• 70% get fewer than five hours of uninterrupted sleep
• 71% say they carry more of the childcare and domestic work than their partner
• 42% say they carry significantly more
These figures stopped me in my tracks—not necessarily because they were surprising, but because they put numbers to something so many mothers experience.
The work of motherhood isn’t only the work we can see.
It’s remembering appointments, organising childcare, keeping track of school dates, noticing when something is running out, anticipating what everyone will need and constantly thinking several steps ahead.
It is physical, mental and emotional work—and much of it continues even when a mother appears to be resting.
Burnout shouldn’t simply be accepted as part of being a good mum. Feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean that you’re failing. It may mean that you’ve been carrying too much, with too little opportunity to properly recover.
Do these statistics surprise you—or do they feel completely believable?

Welcome to September 🤍
The back-to-school transition can hold so many things at once: excitement, fresh starts, new routines, endless logistics—and quite a lot of juggling.
So, before the month gathers speed, perhaps ask yourself:
What will be your anchor this September?
Not another thing you should do. Just one supportive space that belongs to you.
September brings the return of the full Yoga with Alice D timetable ✨
Swipe through to explore:
🌸 Monday daytime classes returning to Wendover

Whether you’re pregnant, newly postnatal, navigating life with a mobile baby, looking for something imaginative to share with your little one—or simply ready to put yourself back into your own diary—there is a space for you.
You don’t need to attend every week or completely transform your routine. Your anchor might simply be one class, one hour or one regular point of pause.
The carousel contains all the September dates, times, themes and locations, so save it somewhere you can find it—and please share it with someone who might be looking for a class like this.
Bookings are open now at www.yogawithaliced.com. I would love to welcome you this September. 🤍
What will be your anchor this month?

In tonight’s CorePlay class, there are several different layers you might choose to focus on…
🌙 Honouring the moon’s 88% energy — neither at our most dynamic nor our most gentle.
☯️ Exploring the balance between yin and yang, effort and softness, and the masculine and feminine energies within us.
🤍 Focusing on the back, abdominal muscles and pelvic floor—the foundations of every CorePlay practice.
🌬️ Allowing the breath to become a steady thread running through the entire sequence.
You might choose to focus completely on your pelvic-floor engagement. You might explore the balance between strength and softness. Or perhaps you’ll honour your own 88% by adapting the practice to meet the energy you actually have today.
That is what I love about the complexity of these classes.
I offer the movements, the themes and the different layers—but you choose where to place your attention and how you want to experience the practice.
The sequence may be shared, but the practice is always your own. 🤍
What would your focus be tonight?

September can arrive with a lot of pressure to get organised, start again, make plans and fit more in.
But perhaps this month doesn’t need to be about doing more.
Perhaps it can be about noticing what supports you — the people, places, routines and small pockets of time that help you feel a little more like yourself. 🤍
That might be movement. Fresh air. Rest. An earlier night. A quiet cup of tea. Saying no to something. Or finally making space for something that matters to you.
What would choosing what supports you look like this September? ✨

The final September chapter of Yoga in the Woods🌿🍂
The weather got the better of us last weekend, but I’m really hoping we can return to the trees for a few more beautiful Saturday mornings before our outdoor season comes to an end this year.
Trees. Breath. Movement. And finally, a long relaxation beneath the canopy. 🤍
Yoga in the Woods will continue throughout September for as long as there are enough bookings to make each session sustainable — so if you’d love to join me, please don’t leave it until the last minute to book.
🌿 Saturdays
🌿 8.15–9.30am
🌿 Wendover Woods
🌿 Women only — all ages and abilities welcome
Limited Saturdays remain. Book your place and found out more: https://www.yogawithaliced.com/yogainthewoods

This morning in Wendover Woods, I noticed the beautiful channels and markings carved into the forest floor by the rain. After so much dry weather, the water had found its own way through — twisting, dividing and creating a different path each time. 🌿
It made me think about how we move through life. We may begin in the same place, but we won’t all follow the same route. Sometimes the path changes unexpectedly. Sometimes we have to move around an obstacle or head in a completely new direction.
But somehow, just like the rain, we find a way.
Your path doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. 🤍

🌙 Lunar-tic 🌙
I listened to a podcast this week featuring an astronomer who described herself as a self-confessed “lunar-tic” — simply because she absolutely loves the moon and notices how it weaves its way into her everyday life.
And I thought… that’s exactly how I feel.
The moon appears throughout so many of my classes. In women’s yoga, my Luna practices follow its phases, encouraging us to notice the natural shifts in our energy — when we might want to move, create and expand, and when we may need to slow down and turn inward.
In pregnancy yoga, we often talk about the age-old belief that more babies arrive around a full moon. And I love sharing this thought for those future night feeds: open the curtains, look up at the moon and imagine all the other women awake beneath that same moonlight, feeding and comforting their babies alongside you.
A little reminder that, even during those quiet hours, you are never really alone.
Perhaps I’m a lunar-tic too… and very happily so. 🌕

What actually happens in a Pregnancy Yoga class? 🤍
We begin by arriving, catching up and introducing our chosen topic for the week — perhaps preparing for birth, trusting your body, bonding with your baby or finding more comfort during pregnancy.
Then we move through:
✨ A breathing technique to support pregnancy, birth and recovery
✨ Gentle movements to ease everyday pregnancy aches and pains
✨ Standing postures to build strength and stamina, including positions that can be useful during labour
✨ An all-fours practice, giving your abdominal organs a little break from the additional weight they’re carrying and exploring some lovely UFO — upright, forward and open — positions
✨ A seated practice where we can close our eyes, turn our attention inwards and focus on breathing, bonding and connecting with baby
✨ And finally… a long, glorious relaxation
The individual movements and postures may change each week, but the class always offers time to move, breathe, prepare and connect — with your body, your baby and the other women around you.
Pregnancy Yoga is so much more than stretching. It’s a space created especially for you during this extraordinary stage of life. ✨
Suitable from 14 weeks of pregnancy. Bookings are open: https://www.yogawithaliced.com/pregnancyyoga

Had a baby this summer? 🤍
September doesn’t have to mean rushing back into a full routine. It can simply mean finding one gentle place to begin — somewhere you can arrive exactly as you are, with your baby.
✨ Nurture Baby Massage is suitable from birth until your baby is crawling. It includes nurturing massage for your baby, alongside supportive postnatal discussions for you and the chance to meet other mums navigating the same stage.
Wednesdays, 10.30–11.30am
Wendover Memorial Hall
Returning Wednesday 9 September
✨ Yoga for Mum & Baby is suitable from around 6 weeks after birth, or 8–10 weeks following a caesarean, until your baby is crawling. It combines gentle postnatal movement for you with playful yoga and connection with your baby, including a gradual focus on your back, abs and pelvic floor.
Mondays, 10–11am
Wendover Memorial Hall
Returning Monday 7 September
You don’t need to feel fit, organised or completely “ready”. You don’t need a baby who sleeps at the right time or stays quiet for the whole class. Feeding, cuddles, changes and pauses are all part of it — you simply come as you are.
September bookings are now open 🤍
https://www.yogawithaliced.com
Save this for when you’re ready, share it with someone who had a baby this summer, or send me a message to ask which class might suit you and your baby.
