WHAT ARE PRENATAL YOGA CLASSES?

Prenatal Yoga can be a great way to prepare for childbirth! Inspired by ancient yogic principles and modern medicine, Prenatal Yoga is a safe and functional approach to exercise and a spiritual practice for expectant mothers. Focusing on positions specifically designed for pregnant women's bodies, expect gentle stretching, mental grounding and focused breathing.

WHAT ARE PRENATAL PILATES CLASSES?

Your fitness regime doesn't have to end with pregnancy! Designed to help navigate the changing physical requirements of mothers-to-be, Prenatal Pilates provides an effective workout to follow through to full term - strengthening the muscles of the stomach, back and pelvic floor - all the while helping mother bond with baby.

PRENATAL WELLNESS SCHEDULE

We encourage a sense of self-nurturing in these classes, giving you the space and chance to connect with yourself and build trust in your body, breath and intuition. We welcome you to join our prenatal classes from 13-weeks onwards and all the way up until bubba arrives - provided you feel able to, of course.

PRENATAL FAQs

  • We advise that expectant mothers do not join in any yoga classes until they have reached 13 weeks. Please also get the green light from your doctor too. Any concerns, please get in touch!

  • Prenatal Pilates can be practised throughout pregnancy through to full term, provided your gynaecologist approves. However, if you are brand new to Pilates, we advise waiting until you have reached 13-weeks.

  • Prenatal Yoga helps prepare expectant mothers for the mental and physical aspects of childbirth (and beyond)!

    While pregnancy is not the ideal time to try and build muscle around your abdomen, it’s still really important to keep your core muscles strong to support your back, pelvic floor and abdominals - especially to prepare for childbirth and postpartum.

    Not only does Prenatal Yoga help to build physical strength and resilience, but it keeps the mind calm and grounded, reduces pregnancy aches and pains, and contributes to a more peaceful journey into motherhood. It is also proven to help with sleep.

  • Prenatal Pilates works on mobility rather than flexibility, helping expectant mothers to cope more easily with labour and childbirth by targeting and strengthening key muscles - a great way to future-proof the body, too!

    Prenatal Pilates will also help to boost your immune system and circulation with functional breathing exercises - ideal preparation to deal with contractions. The breathing exercises and a gentle dose of cardio will also help maintain your energy levels throughout pregnancy and beyond.

  • Those attending Prenatal Yoga or Pilates should wear loose and comfortable gym wear - anything that you can move around freely in will do!

  • You do not need any prior yoga experience to take part in Prenatal Yoga classes. Prenatal Yoga is suitable for absolute beginners - you'll start gently and slowly, and your expert facilitator will modify the postures to suit your stage in pregnancy!

  • Whenever you can and feel able to. If you find that you only have time to go to a Prenatal yoga class once or twice a week, that is more than enough. We recommend also fitting in regular aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking or swimming - variety and compassion is key for a developing body.

  • Both are equally beneficial. Yoga and Pilates offer similar advantages, including improved relaxation, increased strength and developed mobility. It depends on your personal desire - you may find Prenatal Yoga more meditative and Prenatal Pilates more practical. Nevertheless, both are invigorating and support the journey to motherhood. Why not try both and see which one you prefer?
