Yoga for Pregnancy
Nurture Strength, Harness the Breath, and Rest Deeply on the Journey to Motherhood
Gillian is our resident yoga teacher at Honor Oak Wellness Rooms. She is a mother and grandmother with decades of parenting experience and a well established yoga teaching practice. She has given birth twice using yoga techniques for birthing breathwork support.
Her new 90-minute prenatal yoga class features intentional breathwork in every session alongside alternating weeks of gentle sun salutations and her unique restorative yoga practice called Spinal Release. The extended 90-minute format ensures a slow, unhurried pace, providing plenty of time for careful exploration, and the gradual evolution of your practice.
Why Choose Prenatal Yoga?
Prenatal yoga is an excellent investment in your well-being during pregnancy, offering a wide range of benefits for both you and your baby. This specialized practice helps relieve common physical discomforts, reduces stress, and fosters a deep connection to your changing body. Crucially, it serves as a powerful form of birth preparation, equipping you with the physical stamina, mental resilience, and breath awareness needed for labor and delivery. Meet other women moving and breathing together through the pregnancy experience and benefit from heartwarming yoga community.
Class Schedule
Week 1: Gentle sun salutations paired with mindful breathwork to explore alignment and build foundational strength safely.
Week 2: Restorative yoga paired with calming breathwork to fully release the spine and soothe the nervous system.
Week 3: Flow movements and sun salutations paired with focused breathwork to strengthen the legs and ease lower back pain.
Week 4: Restorative stretching paired with soothing breathwork to decompress the spine and carefully open the hips.
Week 5: Modified standing poses and sun salutations paired with core-centered breathwork to build overall stamina and steady control.
Week 6: Restorative integration paired with grounding breathwork to deeply lengthen the spine and cultivate full-body relaxation.
Core Class Pillars
Extended 90-minute time: Allows for a relaxed, slow-paced environment with zero rush between transitions.
Careful exploration: Gives you the space to adjust props, listen to your body, and safely evolve your movement.
Strength & stamina: Uses modified sun salutations to safely tone muscles and prepare the body and mind for birth and motherhood.
Spinal release: Targets compression and discomfort caused by your shifting center of gravity.
Breath as an anchor: Deeply integrated into every posture to regulate heart rate and stay centered.
Please bring your mat if you have one
Latecomers
We have a strict latecomers policy. Latecomers will not be admitted any later than 5 minutes after the commencement of the session. Past this point, it will be disruptive for you to enter the room, and since you will not have warmed up properly, heading into class this late may also be damaging for your body. We recommend you arrive 5-10 minutes early so the class and your day can run on time.
Cancellations
Cancellations within 72 hours of the course starting will not be refunded.
Cancellations outside of 72 hours of the course start will be refunded upon request, otherwise, the passes can be transferred to another course (or a later cohort of the cancelled course).
There is no refund offered for missed sessions within the course.
If we are required to cancel a class due to teacher illness, we will offer a make-up session the week following the last session of the course.
The teacher may choose to cancel a course if a low number of people sign up. Please book in as early as you can to stop this from happening! Your pass will automatically be returned to your Mindbody account in this incidence. You can request a refund if you want one, otherwise, the passes can be transferred to another course (or a later cohort of the cancelled course).
