Pregnancy Yoga Classes

Attending a prenatal yoga class is the perfect activity during pregnancy. It increases strength, stamina, circulation and balance. It’s also a great way to make new friends and share the experience of being pregnant. The class can also be place to exchange knowledge and information on pregnancy and babies.

Attending a pregnancy yoga class has many benefits:

- Promotes a healthy pregnancy

Pregnancy is a time when many stresses are placed on the body. Pregnancy yoga can help alleviate these stresses. It can help keep blood pressure normal, strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and help with sleeplessness. In fact many students report having a better night’s sleep following their yoga class!

- Helps Posture

Pregnancy is a time when extra pressure is put on a women’s body.  Yoga is ideal for strengthening muscles and joints in a safe and non-impacting manner.

- Reduce anxiety and stress

Pregnancy yoga can teach you how to breathe and relax in preparation for labour. These techniques can also help alleviate insomnia and stress. Yoga can help you meet the physical and mental demands required of motherhood.

- Aids with labour

Prenatal yoga can help with labour. In the class we explore breathing techniques that can be used during labour. Visualisation techniques that can be a great aid during labour to help manage pain will also be learnt.
