Allannah is a wonderful teacher and I remember how we would all leave the class with that feeling of happiness lasting throughout the week." Melanie Absous
YogaYin
Dynamic Flow Yoga & Fertility, Pregnancy & Mums and Bubs Yoga
Discover how you can increase your energy levels, improve flexibility, strength and tone, and achieve the mental and emotional benefits of Yoga - including peace of mind, personal power and nourishment of the soul.
YogaYin is a comprehensive yoga practice designed to assist you from puberty to post menopause by redressing the balance of the body’s endocrine (hormonal) and autonomic nervous systems whilst increasing the flow of prana (energy). Suitable for beginners as the Yoga is practised in a safe, flowing style.
Dynamic Flow
Experience a yoga practice which balances the dynamism of a strong flowing yoga with a meditative focus on emotional and mental wellbeing.
Practising Yoga has incredible benefits for the body and mind:
• Reduces stress, helps with anxiety and depression
• Strengthens your body, increasing flexibility and improving core strength
• Balances hormonal mood swings, helps with PMT and menstrual difficulties
• Regulates the digestion
• Boosts immunity
• Increases energy
• Can enhance the quality of your sleep
Dynamic Flow Yoga is designed to improve hormonal flow, enabling you to feel relaxed and energised at the end of the class. Practising in a flowing style reduces the risk of injury and boosts the cardivascular system. Classes explore relaxation, meditation and breathing techniques.
Although the practice is designed with women in mind, these classes are suitable and are enjoyed immensely by men, particularly for their nurturing relaxation practices. Suitable for all ages and levels. Yoga mats and blankets are provided.
Classes Monday evenings from 6.30pm at the Elwood Sailing Club - a perfect way to start your week!
Try out this class for only $15 for your first session!

Classes are in 5 week block courses, which are run consecutively so you can practise right up until birth. The courses include postures tailored for each trimester and level of experience, relaxation and meditation techniques and postures and breath for labour .

"I can't tell you how much i got out of pre-natal yoga. It was my sanctuary every week to look forward to some relaxing time to bond with my baby and i think it has had an enormous impact on our ability to bond now. Thank you again for the invaluable contribution you made to my pregnancy" Amber Harris and Vienna (2 weeks old)
“The yogic breaths and range of positions that we learnt during the classes helped me to achieve a drug-free labour and birth. My husband and I also benefited from a private session with Allannah, enabling him to provide me with the support I needed during labour and help him to be fully involved in the birth process. I’m now looking forward to bringing my son along to Mums and Bubs yoga soon, with a happy reunion with some of the other Yoga Yin mums!” Lucy Salt and Clancy (4 weeks old)

Suitable from conception to birth - RECOMMENDED BY TOP MELBOURNE OBSTETRICIAN DR ANNA ROGERS: www.ocgc.com.au
"Yoga Yin is a beautifully presented yoga DVD for the NORMAL pregnant woman (you dont have to be thin or flexible, alternative or anything in particular, it's for YOU)....This DVD combines what is necessary for your body to allow your pelvis to open to the delivery of your baby, as well as what is necessary for your soul and mind. Its relaxation sequences are preparation for the day your child is born, allowing you to be as 'there' as (much as) possible. I recommend it without reservation and believe that yoga is a key to optimising vaginal delivery rates in Australia." Dr Anna Rogers
"How wonderful it is to capture some of the peace and tranquillity Allanah creates in her yoga classes for personal use in my own time at home. A perfect aid for de-stressing and unwinding, the postures are both therapeutic and relaxing and to finish a practise with such deep relaxation has helped me get some much craved sleep-finally!"

"My son and I really loved our mums and bubs yoga sessions with Allannah. It was a time for him to experience his little body in new and different ways, and a time for me to enjoy some rare time for my own relaxation and well-being. My baby would always drop into a lovely sleep either during or after our yoga together. I'll always cherish fond memories of those dreamy mums and bubs yoga baby days" Renee (Yoga teacher) and Mannix

Mum & Bubs Yoga DVD available now! Suitable for babies from 4 weeks to walking. RECOMMENDED by Reknowned Midwife and Naturopath Anne Digby
"I firmly believe that mothers need a yoga practice to assist with the postnatal recovery process both for themselves and their babies. The YogaYin DVD provides the complete package, poses and relaxation techniques for body, mind and soul. Sectioned into chapters for mum and baby, easy to follow, down to earth and presented in a beautiful and nurturing style. I highly recommend this DVD and I believe that yoga is fundamental to peace of mind for mother and baby."
“I hadn’t realised how tight and stiff my body had become, with all the lifting, carrying and breast feeding, exacerbating existing neck and shoulder issues. I always feel so much better, more relaxed and energised afterwards. Even 15 minutes makes a big difference.
"I love the way Allannah’s DVD is divided into sections. If time is short or interrupted- as it often is with a young baby - I can simply choose to do, say, the closing whole body relaxation – wonderful- or the yoga for babies section, which is beautifully done and a lovely way to spend time with your baby. If my little girl is asleep, I can simply skip that section and continue with the practice…I love this DVD and cannot recommend it highly enough!"

" i had tried yoga before and it has left me really unsatisfied... 5 years later i ended up in allanah's class and my body felt so amazing after the postures, so awake and energised like i had moved it in a different universe. it was a great re discovery of yoga.
i decided to have 1 on 1 classes with allanah after a while as i wanted to increase my practice and she has been a great teacher.
Her passion for yoga, her great knowledge of yogic philosophy and her understanding of the body's biomechanics walked my body forward on the ever surprising pathway of life." Géraldine van Boxmeer (Osteopath and Clinical Pilates Instructor)

Praise for YogaYin Yoga
"I attended Allannah's yoga classes for nearly two years.. the benefits of practicing yoga with Allannah are countless: my immune system is stronger, my body looks better, the quality of my sleep has improved, I have quit smoking thanks to breathing exercises, my posture is straighter, and most important, I now know techniques to fight stress and remain peaceful in challenging situations. Allannah has a very warm and positive personality, she gave equal attention to each one of us and always recommended alternative positions to those who needed it while teaching the class. Allannah introduced various meditation methods at the end of each course which were very beneficial. Allannah is a wonderful teacher and I remember how we would all leave the class with that feeling of happiness lasting throughout the week." - Melanie Absous (Dynamic Flow)

"Allannah Law’s Prenatal Yoga classes were the best thing I did during pregnancy and in preparation for the birth of my first child. Under Allannah’s warm and gentle guidance I gained confidence and inner strength while enjoying spending time each week with other pregnant women in a joyful and relaxing environment. (Pregnancy Yoga)

"As a mum of a busy 2 year old with my 2nd baby on the way, I found this DVD very beneficial during my second pregnancy. The length of the DVD fit in perfectly when my daughter was having a sleep, and the lovely relaxation at the end of the postures really helped me to unwind, and to take time out for just me and my baby".
Katrina.W.(Prenatal DVD)
"I have 4 different Prenatal Yoga DVDs, and always find myself choosing to do Allanah’s YinYoga DVD. I love that the DVD is divided into chapters, and sometimes, I just choose the relaxation when I need a mini-break, or just the postures when I need to boost my energy. As a yoga teacher myself, I’ve found the DVD to be a great support tool to use in between attending my Prenatal Yoga classes, and have recommended this DVD to my students & friends".

"I just wanted to let you know that your DVD arrived yesterday and as soon as my 3 little girls went to bed I put it on and completed it. I did the same when they went down for their nap today. I have been diagnosed with antenatal depression and have been searching for ways to deal with it without resorting to the meds that were prescribed for me. For the first time in 15 weeks I felt connected to my baby and in control again. And that is only after a few sessions! I can almost cry with joy that finally I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am so glad I came across your website last week and thanks again for taking the time to help those who need it most."
With much love and respect
Robyn (Prenatal DVD)
"I love Allannah’s “Mums and Bubs” DVD! I had really enjoyed both her Pre-natal classes and DVD and so eagerly awaited this one.
It did not disappoint!
I had planned to attend Allannah’s yoga classes for mums and bubs, but unfortunately they are held during my baby girl’s sleep time, so the DVD is the ideal alternative. Besides, it means I can practice yoga anytime it suits me and more than just once per week!
“I hadn’t realised how tight and stiff my body had become, with all the lifting, carrying and breast feeding, exacerbating existing neck and shoulder issues. I always feel so much better, more relaxed and energised afterwards. Even 15 minutes makes a big difference.
