15 Minute Pregnancy Yoga Video
A short prenatal yoga video that targets all the usual niggles of pregnancy.
Why attend Pregnancy Yoga Classes?
You are probably aware of the physical and emotional benefits of yoga.
Calm Mind. Health Strong Body.
These are even more important during pregnancy.
Yoga allows you to be connected. To be fully aware of your body, and of your baby. It is this connection, forged gently and subconsciously over time, that allows you to birth lightly.
A regular Pregnancy Yoga class will keep your body healthy, stretch out all your aches and pains, and give you tools and techniques to prepare you fully for birth.
These classes can help you overcome any fears you may have of giving birth.
During the classes, I’ll be giving lots of information, along with advice on topics such as Optimum Foetal Positioning – essential for getting your baby into the correct position for labour; taking care of your perineum to avoid tearing; how to use a Birthing Ball for pregnancy and labour; and sharing the experiences of the other Mums who have taken this journey. Hearing the weekly Birth Stories is often a highlight of the classes. You can read some of their stories HERE.

I’ve been working with Pregnancy Yoga and Active Birthing for over 14 years, and in that time I’ve collected a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and successful techniques both from the Midwives and the Mamas that I’ve worked with. I would love to share all this with you.

Happy Yoga Mamas….
“The breathing, massaging and upright positions you taught were invaluable and got me through the hardest part no doubt about it. I will recommend Pregnancy Yoga to everyone, as well as the Birthing Workshop.”
Emma
“I’d like to thank you for the classes as even after 3 previous babies and two home births I felt much more prepared this time for labour and birth. I could hear your advice about hip circles and breathing right at the peak of my contractions and by listening to your advice had a really controlled and text book birth experience!”
Laura
“I can’t thank you enough for how much your yoga coaching helped especially in the first stages of labour, physically and mentally. You’re an inspiration and have helped me loads during my pregnancy and during the birth, thank you.”
Rebecca
“Thank you so much for everything you taught me at Yoga in preparation for the Birth. It was the most useful antenatal class I attended!”
Katharine
“My husband credits the Yoga again for helping me to stay calm, focused and strong during labour. So thank you!”
Jenny
“I honestly think your Yoga Classes helped me to have a natural and relatively calm birth experience that I’ll never forget. Thank you!”
Helen
We really can’t thank you enough for everything you taught us, and for reassuring me though my fears and worries. I feel it was because of this we had such an amazing, positive birth experience”.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I start coming to the classes?
How long can I keep coming?
What do I need to bring?
Occasionally we do a session using birthing/gym balls. These can be an invaluable tool for late pregnancy as well as labour. I will let you know in plenty of time when we will be doing a Birthing Ball session, and I have some spare balls to borrow if you don’t have one.
