Pregnancy Yoga Sessions

A regular prenatal yoga practice can give you the energy to enjoy your pregnancy, the serenity to build a deeper intimacy with your body, and the ability to be present for the miracle of birth.

Yoga PicturePrenatal yoga can ease the discomforts of pregnancy, such as moodiness, shortness of breath, swollen ankles, nausea, indigestion and insomnia; and help you prepare for the rigors and mysteries of labour.

Our aims of Pregnancy Yoga Sessions are listed below:

  • Promote normal birth / active birth
  • Promote optimal fetal positioning
  • Reduce the need for induction of labour for postdates
  • Reduce the need for unnecessary caesarean section
  • Improve posture and core strength
  • Teach ‘the power of the breath for labour’
  • Teach coping mechanisms and good positions for labour
  • Encourage bonding with your baby
  • Meet other mums to be

We will provide exercise mats; you will need to wear appropriate exercise clothing as there are no changing facilities. We have weekly Pregnancy Yoga sessions at the centre, which will last for approxrimately one and a half hour including refreshments.

The initial exercise session can be attended on a one off payment, however once you know that you wish to continue, we will require a 5 week in advance payment. This is non-refundable , however if when you make the five week payment you know you cannot attend a forward session (within the planned next 5 sessions), for holiday, appointments etc, we will honour the payment and it will carry onto the next week with no loss to yourself.
