Antenatal and Postnatal Yoga at Portland Hospital

# Business Description
Matri Yoga at Portland Hospital offers holistic support for women throughout their reproductive journey, from pregnancy through the postnatal period. Founded on the philosophy that women possess innate wisdom and capability for childbirth, the practice combines prenatal and postnatal yoga with professional doula services and birth preparation.
The business serves expectant mothers at all stages of pregnancy, birth partners seeking to understand their role, and new mothers navigating early parenthood. They also extend services to families with young children and women approaching menopause.
What distinguishes Matri Yoga is its integrated approach bridging ancient maternal wisdom with contemporary support. Rather than prescriptive instruction, their yoga classes emphasise self-awareness, body confidence and instinctive connection—enabling women to understand their own needs and capabilities. The doula services provide continuous, personalised support during labour and immediate postnatal recovery, acting as a bridge between mother and medical staff.
The business stands out through specialist expertise: one-to-one yoga sessions tailored to individual needs, dedicated pelvic floor education delivered with physiotherapy collaboration, and inclusive family programmes including partner and daddy-baby workshops. Their philosophy of "mothering mother"—deeply supporting women through the entire pregnancy-childbirth-postnatal continuum—reflects genuine commitment to maternal wellbeing beyond standard antenatal classes.
Located at Portland Hospital in central London, they offer accessible, professional support grounded in understanding that every woman's birth experience is unique.
