Midwife on the Mat · Yoga with Vanessa
Move. Breathe. Find your balance.
Grounded yoga and meditation with Vanessa—a midwife and yoga teacher creating space to move with kindness, breathe with intention and reconnect with yourself.
I’m Vanessa—a yoga teacher sharing a grounded practice shaped by curiosity, care and genuine respect for every body.
Yoga has been part of my life for many years. In June 2026, I travelled to Rishikesh, India, for the in-person immersion within my 200-hour yoga teacher training. I completed the remaining course work and received my certification in July 2026.
Alongside yoga, I bring my experience as a midwife and trained reflexologist. These backgrounds shape my holistic, compassionate approach to teaching and the way I hold space for others.
The professional experience behind my teaching
The midwife behind the teacher.
I qualified as a midwife 12 years ago and have spent more than ten years working in the NHS. I currently work within a small, passionate homebirth team, supporting women through continuity of care and building relationships throughout their maternity journey.
My midwifery practice is grounded in careful listening, holistic and individualised care, respect for physiology, and honest support for each woman’s informed choices. Those same values naturally influence how I teach yoga: with patience, compassion and respect for every body.
My yoga teaching is separate from my NHS role. Classes offer yoga and meditation—not individual midwifery care or medical advice.
