Six Week Pregnancy Yoga Course

Course Information

Join Zoe for our six week course, guiding you through pregnancy safe postures, breathwork and relaxation techniques to give you and your baby a helping hand in pregnancy and beyond. Each week you'll explore gentle movement, surrendering stillness and moments of complete relaxation. Postures are adapted for pregnancy and limiting class numbers allows for a more personal experience. A typical prenatal yoga class might involve: Breathing: You'll be encouraged to focus on breathing in and out slowly and deeply through the nose. Prenatal yoga breathing techniques might help you reduce or manage shortness of breath during pregnancy and work through contractions during labor. Gentle stretching: You'll be encouraged to gently move different areas of your body, such as your neck and arms, through their full range of motion. Postures: While standing, sitting or lying on the ground, you'll gently move your body into different positions aimed at developing your strength, flexibility and balance. Props — such as blankets, cushions and belts — might be used to provide support and comfort. Cool down and relaxation: At the end of each prenatal yoga class, you'll relax your muscles and restore your resting heart rate and breathing rhythm. You might be encouraged to listen to your own breathing, pay close attention to sensations, thoughts and emotions, or repeat a mantra or word to bring about a state of self-awareness and inner calm. Pregnancy yoga can: - Improve sleep; - Reduce stress and anxiety; - Increase the strength, flexibility and endurance of muscles needed for childbirth; and - Decrease lower back pain, nausea, headaches and shortness of breath. This course is for everyone - those who have never tried yoga to those who have a regular practice.
