I didn’t come to baby yoga looking for a big business or a packed timetable. I came to it as a mum. A mum of three. I needed work that fitted into real life, not something that asked me to bend my family around it. I’d already been teaching yoga for years. Evening classes, workshops, retreats. I loved the work, but baby yoga showed me something different. It showed me how powerful this stage of motherhood is, and how sustainable this work can be when it’s structured properly.

I thought budgeting for maternity leave meant planning for nappies and a pram. I didn’t realise the real cost was support for me: pelvic floor therapy, nourishing meals, a cleaner, a postpartum doula, and a community like Nest Glasgow. These are the things that make maternity leave feel calm, supported, and sustainable.

Starting Nest wasn’t easy. I was juggling a baby, battling exhaustion, and creating something from scratch with the tiny pockets of time

For generations, raising children was a shared experience. Mothers had grandmothers, sisters, aunties, neighbours—people who stepped in.
