About the teacher:
Kate McAnergney is a Registered Senior Teacher with Yoga Australia and has been teaching hatha yoga for 15 years. Kate and her family moved to Geelong in 2016 and soon after she gave birth her third child at home with Pia and Melissa from The Birth House in attendance! Prior to this Kate established and ran the successful yoga for mums and bubs classes at My Midwives Melbourne North in Brunswick, Melbourne.
Kate has 3 children (12, 8 and 2) and started teaching mums and bubs yoga by request to friends when her eldest was a baby. She was thrilled to see how much the other mums benefited from time spent breathing and feeling back into their post-birth selves. Often we (and our communities) put so much energy into focusing on growing and birthing our babies, how a mum fares postpartum can end up a long way down the list. Through the practice itself, yoga helps us feel real compassion for ourselves as we deal with the new challenges of motherhood. Added to that it’s fantastic medicine for sore, tired bodies!
