Pregnancy Yoga
For When Your Body Is Doing Something Incredible (And Uncomfortable)
Pregnancy is amazing. It's also exhausting, anxiety-provoking, and comes with aches in places you didn't know could ache. Pregnancy yoga helps you work with what's happening to your body, not against it.
This isn't about bouncing back or staying in perfect shape. It's about staying connected to yourself while everything changes, learning practical tools for labour, and spending time with other women going through the same extraordinary, bewildering experience.

“Growing a baby is the hardest and most natural thing your body will ever do. Yoga helps you trust the process.”

From about 12 weeks through to birth. Whether you're completely new to yoga or have been practicing for years, pregnancy changes everything about how your body moves and feels. We adapt the practice to support you at every stage.
-
Physical comfort: Gentle stretches to ease back pain, create space for your growing baby, and maintain strength where you need it
Breathing techniques: Not mystical breathwork, but practical tools that actually work during labour and help manage anxiety
Deep relaxation: Yoga Nidra gives your nervous system permission to rest deeply - something that becomes increasingly precious as pregnancy progresses
Community: Being with other pregnant women who understand exactly what you're going through
-
Based on what students actually report:
Better sleep (when possible at all)
Less back and hip pain
Feeling more confident about labour
Tools that work during contractions
Connection with your baby before birth
Time that's just for you and your growing child
A high percentage of our pregnancy students report having natural, more relaxed births. While I can't promise this, the breathing and relaxation techniques genuinely help many women cope with labour.
-
Gentle movement: Poses adapted for your changing body, focusing on comfort and strength rather than flexibility
Breathing practice: Techniques you can actually use during labour, not complicated exercises
Relaxation: 10-15 minutes of guided rest that benefits both you and your baby
Chat time: Informal sharing with other mums-to-be - often as valuable as the yoga itself
-

Pregnancy can feel like your body isn't your own anymore. Yoga helps you stay connected to yourself while everything changes. It's an hour a week that's entirely focused on you and your baby - no one else's needs, no other demands.
The tools you learn here don't just help with birth. They help with the sleepless nights, the overwhelming moments, and the reality of caring for a tiny human while your own body recovers.

"The breathing techniques we learned were brilliant for managing labour. I only needed gas and air for the last few hours of a very long labour, and nothing for 'The Big Push.' Five months later, I still use the relaxation techniques to unwind after work."
"As a mum already, the classes were the only 'me and baby' time I had. Viv taught us to manage early contractions, and the breathing techniques were invaluable - they were all I had in my birthing toolbox for the last hour."
"I started at 26 weeks and loved having time to focus on my growing baby and my own wellbeing. The stretches made more room for baby and helped my back and hip."
