About pregnancy yoga:
While various styles of yoga can be adapted to be ‘safe’ for those who are pregnant, prenatal yoga classes are specifically curated to support and nourish your changing body, while also physically and mentally preparing you for the demands of pregnancy, labour, and parenthood.

A pregnancy yoga class typically concentrates on strengthening the birthing muscles in the legs, hips, and bottom to build stamina for labour, while also incorporating relaxation and meditation techniques to help you catch up on rest and learn how to soothe your nervous system. Certain poses also work on activating and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles, which need to be strong yet supple for birth and beyond.

Benefits of prenatal and pregnancy yoga:

  • Builds physical stamina and mental resilience for labour
  • Strengthens birthing muscles in the legs, hips, and bottom
  • Eases tension and achiness in the body
  • Encourages length through the torso, creating more space for the breath as baby grows
  • Creates positive associations with potential birthing positions (e.g. on all fours)
  • Offers a time and space to connect with baby
  • Encourages strength and suppleness within the pelvic floor muscles
  • Improves digestive, respiratory, and cardiovascular health
  • Aids in balancing hormones, reducing stress, and improving mood
  • Calms and soothes the mind and body - aiding rest, recovery, and sleep
  • Encourages self-advocacy by helping you connect with what feels right for your body and mind
  • Provides tools for self-regulation and focus - which can be used during labour
  • Offers a safe and judgement-free space to simply be
  • Helps you meet other parents- and mums-to-be in your local area

…and so much more!

Guided by ancient yogic philosophy, each nourishing class includes strengthening and restorative asanas (postures), pranayama and breathwork techniques, a guided meditation and relaxation, and a soothing sound bath during shavasana.

Instruktioner

IMPORTANT: Please bring a yoga mat and a pregnancy pillow, yoga bolster or large/firm cushion with you.

Wear comfortable clothes you can move freely in. I advise wearing layers so you can add/remove layers if you’re too hot or cold. Please bring a jumper/blanket and socks for shavasana (relaxation).

I have plenty of blocks and straps for everyone. I also have a few spare mats - please let me know in advance if you would like to borrow one. You’re more than welcome to bring any other props or items with you to help you during your practice.

PURCHASING A BOLSTER:
Let me know if you are interested in purchasing a yoga bolster, as I can get discounted rates through my wholesaler (Ekotex Yoga) - they are a great prop to use during prenatal, postnatal and restorative yoga classes, and can also double up as a breast/bottle feeding pillow once baby arrives. Each bolster is made from organic cotton and is filled with buckwheat hull or organic spelt husk to create a firm and supportive prop.
