OUR CLASSES FOR DURING PREGNANCY

Our classes and groups for during your pregnancy are designed to help you make informed choices about how, where, and with whom you give birth, and to help you feel confident about approaching parenthood.

Yoga for Pregnancy...

Our yoga for pregnancy sessions offer a unique approach to enjoying your pregnancy, preparing for the birth of your baby and for parenthood.

The sessions begin with a relaxing meditation followed by yoga, including postures designed to relieve pregnancy symptoms, and enhance wellbeing and the connection with your baby.

The sessions conclude with facilitated discussion around pregnancy, birth and early parenting topics, guided by the interests of the women in each group.

Our Yoga for Pregnancy sessions enable you to practice yoga safely in ways that support you physically and emotionally whether you are new to yoga or not. We include relaxation, discussion, suggested resources and opportunities to get to know other pregnant women as you prepare for the birth of your baby and new motherhood. Our groups are inclusive and welcoming whether it’s your first or subsequent pregnancy and you can join at any time during your pregnancy. The rooms are comfortable with lots of pillows, stools, yoga balls, blocks and mats. Our facilitators are experienced Yoga for Pregnancy practitioners, have a wide knowledge of birth issues and local maternity services and are trained birth educators.

​Our sessions are very popular, and we sometimes have a waiting list. Please register your details as soon as possible to ensure you have a space as soon as one becomes available.
