pregnancy yoga
Pregnancy yoga is the ideal way to bring the body into harmony with the changes and demands of pregnancy. This class offers time for you to enjoy the transformation, and time to be with your unborn baby.
Yogabirth, yoga for pregnancy, classes offer healthy exercise and preparation for labour and birth. Yoga maintains and improves health, it allows us to trust our intuition, and ability to listen to the body. This is vital for labour to progress naturally and brings calm. Women time and again get great peace of mind, comfort and joy from doing yoga with other pregnant women.

joining a class
In class there is always a range of physical abilities, backgrounds and stages of pregnancy. However they all have one thing in common: wanting to do their best for their pregnancy and unborn baby.
It is ideal to start classes once you have reached the second trimester (12 weeks), you can start anytime after this. The classes are designed to be suitable right up until 42 weeks or the birth of your baby.
