Welcome to Yourbody Matters.
A range of classes held in Gosforth. All conducted by qualified instructors, these include:
Baby Massage
‘Baby massage can be relaxing for mum and baby. Yes, babies get stressed too being in new environments and they also pick up on your stress. Taking time out together for a massage teaches baby how to relax, and you will relax too.
Massage has lots of physical benefits and for babies can play a vital role in circulation, digestion and growth. Using simple techniques you can ease the symptoms of colds, colic and teething. Massage can help babies who are premature and those with disabilities too, improving muscle tone and stimulating growth hormones.’

Each week concentrates on a certain part of the body working through to the final full body massage, this is teamed with handouts to take away and practice at home for full beneficial affect.
Classes are around 45mins-1 hour in total and run once a week for 5 weeks.
Laughter Yoga
‘Laughter Yoga is a revolutionary idea – simple and profound. An exercise routine, it is sweeping the world and is a complete wellbeing workout.
Laughter Yoga combines Unconditional Laughter with Yogic Breathing (Pranayama). Anyone can Laugh for No Reason, without relying on humour, jokes or comedy. Laughter is simulated as a body exercise in a group; with eye contact and childlike playfulness, it soon turns into real and contagious laughter. The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on a scientific fact that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter. One gets the same physiological and psychological benefits.’

Post natal Core stabilty for those pelvic floor muscles!
How many mums post birth have heard the health visitor or midwife say ‘exercise those pelvic floor muscles?!’
More often than they are able to do anything about! We can help!
WHAT ARE PELVIC FLOOR PROBLEMS?
‘Many women experience pelvic floor dysfunction around the time of birth and/or later in life. Pelvic floor problems include leaking urine (urinary incontinence), leaking gas or - more rarely - feces (bowel incontinence), sexual dissatisfaction, and a sagging of the inner organs (uterine and other pelvic organ prolapse). It is important for every woman to understand what she can do to keep her pelvic floor strong and protect it from injury.
A healthy pelvic floor keeps the pelvic organs in their proper place and the muscles that close the bladder and anus functioning normally. With a weakened pelvic floor, the uterus or other organs may sag (prolapse).

Yourbody Matters can help rehabilitation of the pelvic floor in particular post birth, aiding common problems such as Pubic Symphasis Dysfunction and Incontinence.
Classes are 1hr per week for a block of 5 weeks; each week concentrates on particular Pilates exercise techniques using gym balls and floor mats, re-building the strength of the muscles. These are backed with handouts to practice at home for optimal results.
