Pregnancy yoga

These classes are meant make your pregnancy more enjoyable and to prepare you for the most amazing physical and emotional experience of a lifetime - giving birth. You will learn how to develop the awareness of the breath and use it during labour; be correctly aligned, thus reducing lower back discomfort; how to cultivate a strong, yet gentle yoga practice that will help you recover more quickly after giving birth; and much more.

Also covered is the following:

  • Strengthening and relaxing of the pelvic floor;

  • Breathing and visualisation techniques;

  • Birthing positions and their importance;

  • Pain relief for bad backs, pelvis, neck, swollen ankles, etc.;

  • Various methods of pain relief during labour;

  • Beginnings of breastfeeding;

  • And much more...

  • You can start attending classes after the first 12 weeks of pregnancy until the birth.

  • Doing pregnancy yoga is beneficial for all pregnant women as it will make their pregnancy more enjoyable and it will mentally and physically prepare them for whichever method of birth they end up having.

  • All the props you need (mat, bolster, blocks, straps) are provided. All you need is comfortable clothing, such as a T-shirt and leggings.
