What is Prenatal Yoga?

Prenatal yoga supports mums-to-be in connecting more deeply to their growing babies and their changing bodies. This gentle yoga practice will help you to better manage the physical, emotional and mental aspects and changes during pregnancy. 

Each class will encourage you to slow down, breathe deeply, focus your mind while strengthening and stretching the body. Every weekly flow has a theme and intention of where we will dedicate our practice to and includes breathwork, guided visualisation and nourishing movement.

When is the best month to start Prenatal Yoga?

Prenatal yoga is safe in all trimesters but recommended to begin during your second or third trimester. The earlier you begin the greater the benefits will be during pregnancy itself such as improved sleep, reducing discomfort of lower back pain, calming the mind, reducing anxiety, improving circulation, stretching and releasing tension in the body. The list of benefits continues on through from preparation for birth to positively impacting the postnatal period. Stronger benefits are experienced through a consistent practice - it is recommended to sign up for the full series.

If you are completely new to yoga - this is a great time to begin your yoga practice. No prior yoga experience is necessary! Discuss with your midwife or doctor in advance to feel more comfortable beginning a new physical activity during pregnancy.
