Holding Pregnancy Yoga classes is such an incredible privilege and I LOVE being a tiny part of each person's pregnancy. My intention is for this class to be a sanctuary where you can practice yoga, be with your growing baby, and meet other pregnant people.​

 

In each class importance is placed on embodied, feminine, fluid, bouncy movements, finding softness rather than holding tension in rigid poses. This is where the power can be found.

 

These classes help you build physical strength for your pregnancy and beyond, and by moving in an embodied way way, you will become familiar with where your body enjoys being, where it feels safe and relaxed, so that it can draw on this inner wisdom when needed in labour and birth.

 

- Take time to focus on your pregnancy & connect with your baby

- Relax and de-stress. Sooth your nervous system and learn techniques to help you feel calm & rested through your pregnancy and labour

- Strengthen and rest your body to ease tightness, tension & discomfort

- Use breathwork to centre yourself

 

At a time when continuity of care is at an all-time low within our healthcare system, these pregnancy yoga classes also offer a familiar face each week and the opportunity to meet other pregnant people as you ride this beautiful rollercoaster together!

​​​

My Pregnancy Yoga classes only have 6 places, and are filled with poses and movement to soothe the nervous system, promote relaxation, build strength and bring comfort to your changing body.

Here are some ways in which Pregnancy Yoga can help with common pregnancy experiences:

- Back Pain: As your baby grows, the extra weight can put strain on the back, leading to discomfort and pain. Pregnancy Yoga incorporates exercises that focus on strengthening and stabilising the body to provide relief from pain.

- Anxiety: Pregnancy Yoga focuses on deep breathing and mindfulness, which can help reduce stress and promote emotional well-being.

- Pelvic Floor Strengthening: Pregnancy Yoga includes exercises to both strengthen and relax the pelvic floor muscles, to prepare the body for labour and postpartum recovery.

- Bonding with your Baby: Pregnancy Yoga encourages beautiful connections with your baby through meditation and breathing exercises.

- Preparation for Labour: Through Pregnancy Yoga your body will become familiar with breathing techniques, relaxation methods and positions that it can draw on during labour and delivery.
