MummyYoga

My name is Rehana Jawadwala and I come to yoga with 15 years of experience in the health and fitness industry, both in the commercial sector (I used to be a personal trainer) and in academia. I have a PhD in sport and exercise nutrition and at present I am a senior lecturer at the University of Chester in Sports Nutrition. Being born in Bombay, introduced me to Yoga fairly early on in life. Since my early twenties I lived in many places including New York, Auckland and Jeddah before settling in the UK. During that period I lost and found Yoga a few times. My passion for yoga and meditation stems from its transcending qualities beyond physical performance. I was particularly moved to bring my skills as a teacher to pregnant and new mums after my own experience of going from an anxious new mum-to-be to a confident, accepting and fit new mum.
