The benefits of pregnancy yoga

Like traditional yoga, pregnancy yoga uses physical exercises and breathing techniques to balance your mind and body. Some postures will be the same as in a normal yoga class, while others will be modified especially for pregnancy.

​

Classes teach breathing and relaxation techniques that you can use during labour. You may also learn good positions to adopt during labour to help you through contractions and that aid delivery.

​

As well as keeping your body flexible, strong, and in good shape, research on yoga in pregnancy suggests that it has many benefits. It has been shown to improve sleep, reduce anxiety, stress, and depression, and may also help with pregnancy back pain and nausea.

I am a fully-trained prenatal yoga instructor, so I am able to tailor your normal flow to your changing body. Equally, if you have never done yoga before I can design a flow specifically for you as a beginner and mum-to-be.
