Yoga is a fantastic way to prepare your body and mind for birth and mother hood. The classes comprise of a series of exercises that will help you're your body cope with the huge changes going on and prepare for the birth. Specifically:

• Yoga helps you learn to relax. We can't really teach you how to give birth. The exquisite way your body is designed, means you already know how to give birth, all you need to do is relax and let nature take its course. Relaxation techniques can help you cope with the stresses of motherhood, but more importantly, the pain of labour.
• Flexibility is helpful if you are going to let your body open during birth. Yoga postures can help loosen tight muscles and joints, allowing you the freedom to adopt what ever positions you like in labour.
• Keeping up with a regular exercise program in pregnancy is important. Carrying a child is like doing a mini marathon over those nine months. You need to keep up your strength for whats coming and to help prepare your body for birth.
• Many pregnant women feel their posture suffers from the additional weight of their baby and their new boobs. Yoga can help stretch out and strengthen your body.

Finally, being in a group of pregnant women can provide many good tips and friendships. Who knows, you might meet each other on a labour ward. And im happy to say" I have  women in my classes that begin as pregnancy yoga students and cant wait to get back to yoga as soon as their able, 6-8 weeks after baby arrives!

Classes are suitable for all pregnant women in their second and third trimester
