Yoga for Pregnancy

Suitable for all women from the 14th week of pregnancy.

Pregnancy is one of the most special times in a woman's life.

It is a time for nurturing, slowing down and learning to meditate, while being in the company of other mothers-to-be. This Prenatal Yoga Class provides safe, simple and effective exercises designed to strengthen and relax your rapidly changing body, in preparation for birth and motherhood.

A typical Pregnancy Class teaches breath and posture awareness, how to adapt physically and psychologically to pregnancy, and offers a carefully planned sequence of postures to help with common ailments of pregnancy (for example: back pain, stomach burns, cramps, or carpal tunnel syndrome). You will learn to balance your energy levels, and receive essential information about how to cope during labour. There will also be chanting, connecting with the baby and of course lots of relaxation!!!

The physical, psychological, cultural and spiritual aspects of pregnancy, combined with the richness of yoga, make these classes very special...a time and space for women to celebrate their pregnancies, as well as a blessing for teachers!
