When should I start coming to classes?
From 13-15 weeks Pregnant is ideal
I have never done any kind of Yoga before, can I still come along?
Yes! Pregnancy Yoga is very gentle and is suitable for absolute beginners!
I have been diagnosed with SPD / PGP – Can I still attend Yoga classes?
Yes you can. There are lots of poses you can do with SPD. Adaptions will be made for you so that you are as comfortable as possible. One of the best and most important things to do is to relax – we do a nice relaxation at the end of each class.
I am planning on having a Caesarean Birth, is there any point in me coming to Yoga during my Pregnancy?
Yes, I have had women attend my classes who have either planned a caesarean or need to have a caesarean for medical reasons. It is still very beneficial to come and relax during your pregnancy, connect with your baby, learn breathing techniques (which can be used during surgery) and meet other mums to be.
How long should I attend classes for?
For as long as you want to. So long as you are comfortable.
How do i book?
Book online using the ‘BOOK NOW’ blue button on the PREGNANCY YOGA page of my website, or the BOOK PREGNANCY YOGA page. This transfers you to my ‘Bookwhen’ Booking system which is a secure site. You can pay using your card.
Why should I do Pregnancy Yoga?
These classes are a lovely nurturing space to meet other mums to be, get a really good stretch, gain some antenatal tips and tricks and relax!
Birthlight Yoga
Birthlight are the company I trained with, founded by birth guru Françoise Barbira Freedman. They are known for their gentle yet effective style of teaching.
Yoga is increasingly recommended to pregnant women because it is a gentle way of maintaining or gaining fitness while reducing anxiety with breathing and relaxation techniques. The Yoga that I teach is Birthlight Yoga (with Active Birth) – the name Birthlight refers to both ‘birthing lightly’ without undue strain, and the spiritual dimension of birth, that is often forgotten.
Birthlight practices are science-based but taught from the heart to nurture the whole person. Birthlight is recognised by the British Council of Yoga Therapy (BCYT) and the Federation of Antenatal Teachers (FEDANT). Birthlight Yoga is accredited with the Royal College of Midwives in the UK and keeps up with the latest developments in international midwifery circles and research networks.
