During pregnancy yoga is a wonderful practice for you and your baby, whether you are new to yoga or already an experienced practitioner. Yoga classes are a great way to prepare yourself for the birthing process. Practices will also be learned that will be helpful to manage pain during labour. You will also enjoy bonding with your baby and the company of other pregnant women.

Yoga for your pregnancy
Classic asanas (yoga postures) have been adapted to promote well-being and mobility throughout pregnancy. The yoga practices combine the breath with the movement of the body. Prananyama (breathing practices) are learned to help prepare the women's spontaneous breath for labour and later on in parenting. Classes also place an emphasis on meditation and deep relaxation -invaluable tools for pregnancy, birthing and parenting.

The classes are designed to tap into your body’s wisdom and to help with confidence and trust. The postures and practices learnt in class are encouraged to be practiced at home throughout pregnancy.
