Weekly Yoga for Pregnancy
and Birth Preparation Classes

Yoga means the union between the mind and the body. In pregnancy it is a great way to exercise safely even if you have never done yoga before. Pregnant women are naturally
more flexible during this time due to high levels of the hormone Relaxin and they enjoy
gently stretching and exploring their flexibility.

Yoga postures help to open up different parts of the body. Through the practice of yoga
we are taught to listen to the way our own body wants to respond and perform each
posture with awareness and intelligence.

My classes allow you to experience yoga based exercise to calming music all specifically designed for pregnancy and prepare for birth using active birth techniques, breathing
and relaxation.

Breathing is an important part of yoga. You will learn to breathe through the whole body, releasing tension. Research shows if labour is relaxed, it becomes much easier and shorter, bringing a gentle entry to the world for your baby.

These classes are for women only. Wear something comfortable that you can move
freely in. Yoga mats and cushions can be provided if needed. If you would like your
partner to attend a class, I hold monthly birth preparation classes for couples/partners.
