YogaBirth - Pregnancy Yoga - 7:00 pm

Service Description

This class is at the beautiful Old Schoolhouse, a newly renovated building in the heart of Morningside. You will be safely guided by Marcela, an experienced YogaBirth Teacher, Doula, Birth Educator, Active Birth Teacher, and mum of three. A unique class to support your pregnancy and to prepare for birth, with time for discussion and reflection. Join us for our weekly YogaBirth - Pregnancy Yoga & Birth Preparation class. In these longer sessions we have some time to discuss and share information on any topics related to pregnancy, birth, postnatal recovery and motherhood. Physical strength and suppleness are a vital combination for pregnancy and beyond. Expect gentle but effective stretches, breathing techniques and strengthening poses to help you with any pregnancy aches and pains and prepare for labour. We incorporate gravity-assisting positions and birth breathing techniques especially designed for labour and birth, whilst incorporating pelvic floor strength & awareness exercises. The classes support you to enhance health & comfort by toning your muscles and remaining strong, improving posture & circulation. We always end the class with a deep relaxation. Enjoy this weekly ritual of self-care, a time for peace and calm for yourself and a beautiful opportunity to bond with your baby in a safe and tranquil space as you prepare for birth and learn many useful ways to move and breathe. These classes also offer you the wonderful opportunity to meet other mums, make friends and create a supporting community. You can attend prenatal classes from 12 weeks of pregnancy. Please check with your midwife or doctor before starting any exercise, particularly if there are any issues with your pregnancy. * Please bring your own yoga mat and props (a cushion or yoga block, straps or belts). Get in touch if you have any questions!
