Matre Yoga is a small, intimate prenatal yoga studio opening in Marrickville, built for Inner West mums-to-be who are looking to build their village during pregnancy.

Each five-week series has just five mats, so every woman is genuinely seen and supported. Classes move through the five koshas (the layers of body, breath, mind, wisdom and joy). Each class pairs gentle, body-aware movement with pelvic-floor and active-birth preparation and includes Yoga Nidra elements of deep guided relaxation - perfect for the nervous system.

After the mats are rolled up, everyone stays for a weekly tea ritual: herbal tea, honest conversation, and the start of real friendships with other pregnant women. Your village can start here - while you're still pregnant, not six weeks after (when you traditionally join a parent’s group).

Founder Hayley brings almost 20 years of personal practice and training with Bliss Baby Yoga, PowerLiving and Eliza Giles to every class. It was her own experience of matrescence that led to Matre being born - a studio she had wished for during pregnancy.

Deep Rest. Honest Connection.
