Pregnancy Yoga

In a pregnancy yoga class asana or postures are taught, these provide suitable exercise during pregnancy. Practicing yoga can help improve posture eliminating common aches and pains of pregnancy. Common ailments eased by practicing yoga include: lower back pain, pelvic pain, neck pain, heartburn and indigestion, breathlessness and swollen ankles and wrists.

Special attention is given to pelvic floor. I teach how to both tone and relax the pelvic floor. We also explore how the pelvis works is different birthing positions.

Pranayama or breathing techniques are taught. These include breaths many women find useful during pregnancy, labour and birth. I utilise my massage training by teaching massage techniques many women enjoy during pregnancy and labour.

Every class includes a relaxation or guided meditation giving women the time to be still and begin the deep bonding process between mother and baby.

There is always a chance to have a cup of tea at the end of class and meet other mums and bumps. Every few months I use this time to invite speakers such as active birth teachers, doulas and independent midwives to the class to share their experience. Please email for update information regarding guest speakers.

""I was able to control my contractions using the breathing techniques that you'd taught me at baby yoga right up until the final stage, so a massive thank you to you. I don't think you can appreciate how effective applying your techniques is going to be until you're in labour... I'm recommending you to every pregnant woman I talk to."

"Being with other people who were sharing the same experience put me in touch with the fact that I was part of a universal process... I had never considered before that my mother had given birth, and her mother before had given birth to her, that it was like an endless stream... a totality was realised. That's where the group came into it." Jean

I also run Mother and Baby Yoga classes
