Pregnancy yoga classes suitable from 12 weeks of pregnancy. These gentle classes are designed to help ease aches and pains of pregnancy as well as to help you keep active and healthy.
Each class focuses on pranayama (breath work for labour), strength and stamina work for labour and a guided relaxation at the end. All movements and postures are pregnancy safe, and modifications will be offered for your ability and experience. No previous yoga experience is necessary. This pregnancy yoga class is a great way to connect with your baby as well as meeting other Mums to be in the local area.
Please bring your own yoga mat or towel to practice on. There will be a limited number of mats to borrow in class, so if you do not have your own message in advance to borrow one.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

If you have never done yoga before, do not worry! These pregnancy yoga classes are suitable for all levels of experience and fitness. Each pose is progressive, meaning that a pose suitable for beginners is offered as well as adaptations for those who are more experienced. Where you take the pose, is up to you.
The aim of pregnancy yoga is to tune into your changing body as the weeks go by, and adapting movements where needed.
Pregnancy yoga is suitable for all stages of pregnancy as it is a gentle, and restorative class. Most people wait until after their 12 week reassurance scan before joining, although if you have had an early scan and are feeling well you might like to join sooner. Pregnancy yoha is suitable all the way through pregnancy until you give birth.
The only equipment that you will need is something to practice on, preferably a yoga or exercise mat. If you do not have a yoga mat you can use a beach towel. There are a couple of mats available in class to borrow, but please ask in advance for availability.
Yoga is practiced bare foot so you do not need an special shoes, and wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. You might want a drink handy during the class, a cushion to sit on and a blanket for the relaxation at the end of the class but these are all suggestions and personal preference. Any other props that you might need are supplied.
