Txell Hernandez Gil, a Catalan mum and online journalist, practiced yoga with me throughout her second pregnancy. Her pregnancy was smooth and she gave birth to her son Jacques naturally at the Hospital Maternitat in Barcelona. A few weeks after the birth, when Txell felt ready, she returned with her baby to my Post Natal classes.
“I really loved attending Jo’s classes during my second pregnancy and after the birth. I was practicing yoga with my first pregnancy too somewhere else but with Jo it was a totally different story! My body felt wonderful and I felt empowered. Everything was natural and smooth. It was a great opportunity to meet a bunch of cool mammas and share with them thoughts, dreams and receive answers. Highly recommended!”
Txell now works full time writing for Mammaproof, the hip mammas guide to Barcelona with kids, and also looks after her two boys Eddy and Jacques.
