There’s a lot of information available about the benefits of yoga for pregnancy.
Here are some benefits of these pregnancy yoga classes, in the mums’ own words.
“I love the whole experience. I love that we have a chat about how we are doing at the beginning and have the opportunity to share information, that you give us very useful, supportive information and guidance in a balanced and caring way – you give us so much more than just a yoga class. Hilary McGeough, Amersham
“A perfect 90 minutes of baby bonding, relaxation, light exercise and vital education. Angela Jessop, Holmer Green
“I can honestly say that with my first baby these classes changed my whole attitude towards giving birth and how I wanted the birth to be – relaxed, calm, active and natural. The birth was an amazing experience and when I fell pregnant again, I knew that these classes would help me again. Zoe Allsop, Hyde Heath
“The classes are very informative and the breathing and relaxation exercises practiced during the class proved invaluable in labour. Jo Briggs, Penn Street

You need to be comfortable with your Pregnancy Yoga teacher, so I'd like to explain just enough about myself for you to decide if you'd like to come and try a class.
For me, pregnancy yoga is about helping women enjoy their pregnancies and encouraging them towards a calm, positive birth experience. It’s about taking time to relax and bond with your developing baby, learning how to help yourself by breathing correctly and exercising gently – all the time gathering information and being supported so that you can make informed decisions about your pregnancy and labour.
