About Me

Why I'm passionate about pregnancy, birth and motherhood.

Hi, I’m Bethany! I’m an expat mom of two with a passion for prenatal and postnatal wellness. I grew up in the US and moved to Sweden over 10 years ago. 

As a 200 YTT registered teacher with specialised trainings in prenatal, postnatal, yin, and aerial yoga, I’ve dedicated years to empowering mothers through pregnancy to postpartum. I’ve been teaching yoga full time for over 12 years – from founding my own yoga studio in 2016 to guiding over a thousand women through my programs. 

why prenatal and postnatal yoga?

They say when you have children you are reborn as a mother.

In the midst of my corporate consulting days, I found my calm in the practice of yoga. It wasn’t long before this personal practiced transformed into my life’s passion, leading me to open my own yoga studio and dive deeper into specialised trainings. I’ve led prenatal and postnatal courses since 2018, however, it was becoming a mother to my two children that truly reshaped my perspective. I understood, firsthand, the overwhelming blend of joy, anticipation, uncertainty, and overwhelming love that courses through a woman during pregnancy and motherhood.

After my oldest was born, the pandemic hit and brought me back to work full time much earlier than I anticipated. Fast forward three years, and a few months after my daughter was born, I had to make the tough decision between family and my studio – and this time I chose my family. I realised my kids needed a lot of mindful attention on my part – and I wanted to be present and give this to them.

It was during this time, home with my kids and processing the changes of becoming a mother of two while simultaneously closing my studio of six years, that “Yoga for Birth & Beyond” took root. I realised the invaluable support that mindfulness and yoga offer during this pivotal phase of life. Drawing from my own experiences and expertise, I tailored programs specifically for mothers-to-be and new mothers, with the intention to help women find calm, strength, and connection during this beautiful, yet challenging time. I believe that by cultivating mindfulness, we not only enhance our own well-being but also create a nurturing environment for our little ones, setting the stage for a harmonious bond from the very beginning.

The Three Pillars of My Programs

At the heart of my programs is the community of women; a supportive space where shared experiences, knowledge, and bonds are nurtured, creating lifelong connections. 

Through purposeful movements, I blend both safe strengthening and stretching exercises. These are tailored to support the pregnant and postpartum body. 

Equally important is nurturing the mind. Our classes always begin and end with meditation and mindfulness practices, intended to cultivate calm, resilience, and support a deeper connection to yourself and your baby.

A Little Fun Fact

As a young teenager I competed in professional watersports as a wakeskater, and started cross training with yoga for mobility. I’ve been practicing yoga ever since!

"The fact that you share every resources and experience that you have personally had. The most important thing is that you make all your students feel seen and heard."
