Hello there, I’m Rulene

Your yoga guide and mentor. I teach maidens and mothers how to use yoga as a tool to navigate through fertility, pregnancy and motherhood – because, let’s be honest, these spaces are filled with transformation, both externally and internally. Change is seldom easy and yoga allows you to connect with your body, mind and soul to allow the gentle hues of transformation to permeate your very cells. It’s about allowing. It’s about flow. It’s about being raw, soft and gentle, all whilst being completely real. 

With over 2000 hours of training, I have an in-depth understanding of and deeply honour the innate wisdom that can be found within our bodies. I am here to help you connect with that wisdom, to understand the language of the body, and to fall deeper into communion with it. I want to know your biggest dreams, what you’re feeling, what you’re struggling with, and where your body is at. 

Wherever you are along your pregnancy journey, I am here to assist you in discovering how yoga can enable you to become a stronger, wiser, gentler version of yourself. It’s all about connection, it’s all about softening into that which is already there. Fertility, pregnancy and motherhood can be tough, but you don’t have to go at it alone. Let’s work together to create and connect with that vibrant body that carries the instinctive feminine wisdom of creation within it.

Fertility Yoga

Hey womb warriors: are you struggling to fall pregnant, or do you want to get your body baby ready?

Yoga allows you to breathe yourself into being, feel safe and connected, and turn your challenges into stepping stones. It allows you to open to the gentle flourishing of your being and to know that, no matter what, you are not alone. Sound like that’s what you need? Let’s connect.

Prenatal YOGA

Are you pregnant and looking for pre-natal yoga classes?

Pregnancy is a rich and colourful time, and yoga enables you to fall deeper into this sacred space. It allows you to fully embody the richness of creation, to feel the fluidity of the body as you transition into motherhood.

Postnatal Yoga

Sleep deprivation, hormonal issues and lower back pain doesn’t have to be your post-natal reality.

This is an incredible time, and yoga can help you reconnect to your body and settle into this new way of life. It teaches you to simply be in the moment. It’s okay to not feel okay. No pressure, mamma bear! Let’s commune to give you the nurturing that you deserve.

Still not sure if yoga is for you? Let’s hop on a chemistry call. As a mother, I have been there, and I am here to hold space for you in whichever way necessary.

WHAT My CLIENTS SAY?

I reached out to Rulene after my doctor recommended I do some light yoga to address discomfort I experienced around 23 weeks pregnant. I was pleasantly surprised when the discomfort disappeared after our first session!

Rulene came to my house for each session and was extremely accommodating around scheduling. I especially appreciated how she would start each session by checking in with me, finding out if I had any pain we needed to focus on during the session.

She is very knowledgeable on all thing pregnancy and I learned something new about the amazing journey that is pregnancy with each session.

Thanks Rulene for the awesome sessions, you definitely contributed to me having a comfortable pregnancy right up to the end.

– Rachelle Huisman

Rulene has been a wonderful, attentive and caring teacher during my pregnancy. I always left the classes physically energised, but also emotionally supported , and connected to my little one.

– Lauren Gamsu

Being pregnant for the first time came with a lot of excitement, determination and anxiety. Preggy yoga was my time to switch off from the world. Rulene made me feel calm at each session, with a focus on connecting with my baby. Being large and uncomfortable, she always checked in at the beginning of class to see if there was any specific part of my body that we needed to focus on, and she would then adapt the class and poses accordingly. At the end of each session I felt better physically and mentally; ready to tackle the day and excited for my baba’s arrival. I would highly recommend Rulene to any preggy mamas looking for a piece of calm and happiness that is solely theirs during their pregnancy.

– Catia Bastiotto

Rulene was a dream yoga instructor during my pregnancy. She took private preggy yoga classes for a friend and I during the thick of Covid lockdown in 2021 and we were big, uncomfortable and rather anxious a lot of the time. Her calm, friendly, adaptable and non-judgemental way with us was just the best. I always felt like after a class I could breathe easier and my body was happy and cared for. I would recommend Rulene to anyone looking for some body self love during their pregnancy. She really knows what she is doing and can hold a space with a lot of care and sensitivity.

– Kim Taylor

Rulene, has really improved my health, the method she uses is extremely calming to the body and mind, helps with stress and anxiety. The breathing techniques she uses is extremely helpful. I felt calm and at peace after my sessions. I highly recommend Rulene.

– Lisa Brits

My sessions with Rulene are absolutely invaluable. She’s helped me cope with the crazyness that is my life 🙂

– Malcolm

Rulene is amazing. I never did yoga with my first born but joined Rulene for my second. Her classes were the highlight of my week! I fully recommend Rulene!!

– Dominique Mulholland

Rulene is a phenomenal yoga teacher. Her extensive knowledge of the various yogic practices and techniques, combined with her personal pre- and postnatal experience, left me feeling confident that I was in good hands during my pregnancy. Rulene’s enthusiastic energy and ability to hold a sacred space, allowed me precious time to connect with my growing baby while working to build and maintain the strength needed for labour and birthing. Yoga can be a wonderful support for pregnancy and birth, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too; and I truly believe Rulene’s prenatal yoga classes were a key factor in my own positive birthing experience. Leading her classes with compassion, kindness, humour and grace, I would recommend Rulene a thousand times over!

– Kirsty Parrington

I joined Rulene’s weekly UK online yoga class when I arrived in London in 2021. It has helped me tremendously both physically and mentally. Before she begins the class, she finds out what physical challenges you have and tailors the intensity to suit your ability. From the start you feel safe and you know she is in control. Her demeanour and voice are soothing and her instructions clear allowing you to flow from one position to the next and easily follow how to breathe through the exercises. As a relative newcomer to yoga I can’t express how much better I feel after Rulene’s classes, much looser, calmer and alive.
