Pregnancy Yoga & Birth Preparation Classes

• Mama you’ve got this! Embrace motherhood, tap into your innate power, wisdom and instincts.

• Carve out time in your busy week to connect in with your mind, body and baby. Take this special time for you and your baby, noticing the awe of growing another human being.

• Connect with other Mamas-to-be in your community, it takes a village to raise a Mama! Know you are not alone in your journey.

• Learn birth preparation tools such as breathing, mindfulness, affirmations, visualisations, optimal positioning/ movements for birth. 

• Practise the art of deep relaxation and rest. Learning to ‘rest on demand’ is an important practice in birth and beyond.

• Relieve common pregnancy aliments, feel nourished and strong. 

• Classes are very popular so early booking is advised.

What to bring:

• Yoga mat - to use throughout for all that lovely stretching and relaxing. 

• Blanket - to snuggle up with during the hello circle and yoga nidra. Less movement can make you feel a bit chilly and I want you to be as comfortable as possible. 

• Small pillow or yoga block- for maximum comfort during seated, kneeling and lying positions. 

• Water bottle - to keep hydrated, so important for wellbeing! 

What to expect in my classes: 

• Hello circle - a opportunity to check in emotionally and physically, giving everyone a chance to feel seen, acknowledged and heard. 

• Quiet arrival - guided meditation to settle into the practice. 

• Birth breathing practice.

• Movement - yoga poses to support wellbeing in pregnancy, balancing energising and calming movements.

• Yoga nidra - 'guided nap'/ deep relaxation, lying on left side.
