Common positions in regular yoga may be too stressful for your joints and pelvic area when you’re pregnant. As your baby grows, there’s a lot more weight pushing down on your bladder and pelvis. Pregnancy hormones also loosen your ligaments, making joint and bone problems (especially in the pubic bone) a source of discomfort.
In addition to modifying positions for pregnancy, my classes also focus on breathing, stretches and strengthening moves that help your body prepare for labour. Postnatal classes are carefully tailored to help support your body to recover after birth and the physical, hormonal and emotional changes you have gone through.
Yes! You don’t have to be a yogi before you conceive to join my classes. It’s always a good idea to check with your doctor before starting any new exercise during pregnancy and long as your doctor has given you the green light to stay physically active during pregnancy, yoga is an ideal activity for all expectant mummies.
My classes are gentle and designed for pregnancy and post-birth, which means they help you prepare for childbirth and your journey to motherhood.
You can join pregnancy yoga classes from 13+ weeks and postnatal and mummy and baby yoga 6 weeks post birth or 12 weeks post birth if you have had a caesarean birth, episiotomy, forceps of 3rd/4th degree tearing.
