A YOGA teacher from Droitwich has been nominated for a prestigious national award for her work helping pregnant women, new mums and babies relax and improve their flexibility.

Mum of three Janine Rusby runs Yoga from Wellbeing and has been nominated by her students for the best pregnancy/postnatal activity award in the What’s On 4 2015 Junior Awards for the second year in a row.

Ms Rusby said she was “flattered” to be nominated for the award.

“I was stunned to find I had got through to the next round again,” she said.

“Most of the other nominees are national businesses so it rather amazing that an independent teacher from Worcestershire can get through.”

The competition is open until Friday, May 1 and votes can be cast at www.whatson4littleones.co.uk.

Winners will be announced at a ceremony on Friday, June 19.
