Why LushTums?

Our classes offer a complete approach to enjoying pregnancy, preparing for birth and helping you adjust and restore postnatally on all levels; physically, mentally and emotionally.

Created by our founder, Clare Maddalena, shortly after the birth of her first baby, Clare realised there was a huge lack of meaningful, empowering and informative birth preparation out there that truly combined everything we really needed to prepare for motherhood; and LushTums was born!

Since then we are incredibly delighted to have grown and now have hundreds of LT teachers, all trained by Clare, sharing the LushTums love with mums-to-be and mums all over the world.

What is the magic of LushTums class?

By understanding the anatomy of pregnancy, birth and postnatal recovery, Clare was able to combine the very best practices of yoga, mindfulness and meditation, with a modern take on birth education, to give women and their birth partners key tools ~ so they could be more comfortable during pregnancy, ease away common aches and pains, and importantly prepare in mind, body and heart for giving birth and recovering afterwards.

All our teachers complete our in-depth, FEDANT accredited Teacher Training, and are fully insured specialist teachers, so they can share the LushTums method directly with you!

If it has a LushTums stamp on it, you know you are in safe hands.

We have played a crucial role in supporting thousands of women during pregnancy and motherhood; not only by providing fantastic education and well-being classes, but also by creating community and lasting friendships ~ we are the original Bump & Baby Club and we can’t wait to meet you and welcome you too!

All our content is accredited by FEDANT ~ the leading body for midwifery and antenatal education in the UK ~ and our founder Clare Maddalena is a registered Senior Yoga Teacher with Yoga Pros ~ giving us the two highest marks of excellence in this specialism.

Here’s what other mum’s say about us…

  • “So grateful for LushTums yoga! Such a welcoming, calming, thoughtful and positive approach to teaching . . .

    . . . The space allows you to connect with yourself and your baby, in the powerful and comforting company of other pregnant women. (They) take the time at the beginning of each session to check in with everyone individually and then tailor the session accordingly. I always left feeling so much better and more positive than when I arrived. The breath work and useful tools that were taught during the Pregnancy Yoga sessions for sure helped me navigate a difficult birth. Highly recommend these classes!”

    Jessica attended Pregnancy Yoga Classes (Google Review 5 Stars)

  • "LushTums Antenatal Education Course: Prepare for Birth + Baby is absolutely fantastic! . . .

    . . . It informs you of everything you need to know without encouraging any particular approach, reminding everyone there is a place/time for everything depending on how your birth unfolds. We have finished the course feeling confident and excited for the birth. Was great to be around people due at a similar time to us. Was great having a safe space to ask all the questions that were in our heads. Highly recommend!!”

    Bryony & George attended LushTums Antenatal Education Course (Google Review 5 Stars)

  • “I have thoroughly enjoyed LushTums throughout my pregnancy and would 100% recommend it to a friend . . .

    . . . I also plan on continuing with Postnatal Yoga Classes as I’ve enjoyed the classes so much. Not only do you exercise, you also learn about (birth) breathing techniques and coping mechanisms in a relaxing and supportive environment. There’s also the opportunity to meet other expectant mothers and share your experiences with those going through pregnancy at the same time as you so it’s really wonderful in more ways than one. (The teachers are) also very knowledgeable, warm and very encouraging so you instantly feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door.”

    Lisa attended Pregnancy Yoga & Postnatal Mum & Baby Yoga classes (Google Review 5 Stars)

  • "I’d definitely recommend LushTums for people looking for calm and informative classes and a supportive local community . . .

    . . . My husband and I recently completed LushTums Antenatal Course which was so helpful. Delivered in a relaxed but engaging way over 4 weeks we left feeling really informed about our choices and next steps. I've also been attending the Pregnancy & Birth Preparation Yoga Classes which have been invaluable in helping to calm nerves, stay active and practice breathing techniques for birth… extremely knowledgeable and experienced.”

    Victoria & Partner attended LushTums Antenatal Education Course and Victoria attended Pregnancy Yoga too (Google Review 5 Stars)

  • "As a practicing midwife I love the LushTums ethos and feel that the information is well balanced and really helpful . . .

    . . . This was very important to me and at no point did I feel conflicted. From the very beginning I felt that my training was complimenting my midwifery practice. The amount of support is gold standard, everything I needed to succeed was at my fingertips. The mix of online learning, videos, reading, zoom group sessions and practical tips is brilliant. The ongoing business set up and continued support I really appreciate too.”

    Clare Price, Midwife and soon to be LushTums Teacher in Tetbury attended LushTums Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Training Course

  • "It has been brilliant being able to study this course online, I’m not sure I would have given myself the chance to do this course in person otherwise . . .

    . . . I loved the organisation and content of the course. I have been able to fit my studies in around family life and working, always looking forward to the next chance to learn more about yoga, pregnancy, birth and motherhood.”

    Jenna Foster attended Pregnancy & Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training Courses and is now our LushTums Teacher in Wimborne

  • “A completely unique training experience. I completed the pregnancy yoga teacher training and have been teaching for a year now . . .

    . . . I had no previous experience and am now confident with my knowledge and taking full classes. Am currently doing the Postnatal Course and loving it again. Great teaching, flexible learning so you fit it in around your daily schedule. Lots of support from Clare, Clair and fellow students.

    The support continues after you’ve qualified with a brilliant friendly group of teachers, sharing their wisdom and always happy to help or advise. I’m really glad I chose LushTums and would highly recommend to anyone!”

    Thea Abbott attended LushTums Pregnancy & Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training Courses, teaching in Bristol & Totnes.

  • "I came away learning a lot and had an enjoyable time doing so! . . .

    . . . Great informative course and Claire is a lovely teacher to learn from! I would highly recommend her antenatal class to anyone. It takes you through from the birthing process to your fourth trimester and some useful first aid.”
