We offer pregnancy, mummy & baby and postnatal classes, providing a nurturing and community environment for new mums and mums-to-be with our excellent and experienced team of pre and postnatal teachers.
Below is a brief description of each of these types of classes with a timetable of weekly classes for each type. If no timetable is displaying, please refresh the page.
PREGNANCY YOGA
Pregnancy classes are specifically structured to strengthen birthing muscles, reduce backache, and speed up post-birth recovery. Our pregnancy teachers are all mums themselves with extensive specialist training, and classes often include discussion of how your pregnancy is progressing, where the teacher will offer guidance, support and advice. Classes are fun and informative, offering guidance in preparation for the birthing process and they are also focused on building strength and confidence for both the pregnancy and labour. Breathing techniques and other techniques are used to inspire trust and confidence. This class is suitable for all levels and for women who have never practiced yoga before. This class is open to those who have completed 12 weeks of pregnancy.
POSTNATAL YOGA
A post natal class designed to honour your transformation from labour into being a mother. Attending to the core and the intrinsic muscles will create a foundation that will enable strong stable support and essential healing physically, whilst creating vital energy. Open to all mothers from 9 weeks post partum onwards; Caesarean births suitable after 12 weeks with a health care check.
MUMMY & BABY YOGA
The aim is to give you and your baby the space to explore movement and for you to start getting in touch again with yourselves physically and emotionally. The yoga practice focuses on realigning and strengthening your body and mind. A lot of what happens in each class will depend on your babies but whatever we cover, these classes will help you regain some peace and calm in your life. Baby must be at least 6 weeks old and only until crawling. Suitable to those with no complications.
