There are many pregnancy yoga classes around, but YogaBirth classes are unique. Our highly qualified teachers expertly combine yoga asana (postures), breath awareness and childbirth education in a way that enables you to learn with both your body and your mind. Our teacher training course represents the gold standard in its field and is accredited by the Royal College of Midwives. Many women tell us that the birth knowledge they gained through attending YogaBirth classes proved to be more valuable than any antenatal course they attended, and the friendships they formed along the way were a wonderful bonus. Our postnatal classes support your recovery and wellbeing and offer a supportive space to land in motherhood and navigate the ups and downs of life with a little one.

You can join a YogaBirth class any time from 13 weeks onwards. Some women like to come as soon as they possibly can.

Not at all. Yoga is not a competitive sport. Our classes are appropriate both for beginners and those with past experience of yoga. We teach using straight forward language and our classes are inclusive. Our style of teaching is designed to draw the focus inwards, to notice the flow of the breath and the release of tension as your body becomes more responsive. A “beginners’ mind” can be a very good thing.

Absolutely. Contrary to what people generally think, yoga is not about being flexible. The style of yoga we teach is about feeling grounded, vital and strong.

All mats, cushions, blankets etc are provided at the studio. You are welcome to bring your own if you prefer

We want you to feel comfortable and able to move with ease so that you can get the most out of the class. Loose fitting tops, leggings or sweatpants are all good options. You don’t need to wear any purpose designed yoga clothes.

Absolutely! It’s not too late to join a YogaBirth pregnancy class. You will feel the benefits after just one session, and you will come away with some useful tools to help you with your baby’s birth.

Yes! YogaBirth classes are for everyone who’s bringing a new life into the world. Our teachers have extensive experience of supporting women to have a safe and satisfying birth, and they know that positive births take many forms. The movements you will learn in the classes, as well as the breath awareness, will help you to approach your caesarean feeling strong and grounded. They will also help you during your postnatal recovery. YogaBirth classes encourage all birthing women to be informed: to look at good quality evidence and to make the choices that are right for them, which may be entirely different from the choices made by someone else. Births are as individual as people.

It is quite common to experience aches and pains during pregnancy and after giving birth. Our specialised yoga is safe and designed to support your changing body. Many women experience great relief and feel so much better in themselves, through coming to a YogaBirth class. Speak to your YogaBirth teacher, who will know how best to help you.

Always let your teacher know about any injuries or complications with your pregnancy or birth recovery. Our teachers are well informed and will know how to modify the postures or movements to make them safe for you and your baby. There is always a way to adapt the yoga so that it meets your needs. Yoga is for every body.

Most of the women we meet first time around come back again with subsequent pregnancies and tell us that they can’t imagine going through pregnancy without YogaBirth classes. In fact it may be the only time during the week that they’re able to step away from the busy-ness of everyday life and nourish themselves. We love creating community in our classes. By sharing their knowledge with first timers, experienced mums add to the chain of wisdom that’s handed down from mother to mother. In this way, many women form long lasting friendships and support networks, whether it’s their first pregnancy or their fifth.

Pregnancy yoga classes are £72 for a 6 class pass, or £15 for a single class. Mum and baby yoga classes are £40 for a 4 class pass, or £12 for a single class.
