PREGNANCY YOGA IN PORTISHEAD
Nurture You & Your Baby
Pregnancy yoga is all about nurturing and strengthening you and your baby during pregnancy. It will help ensure a relaxing and comfortable pregnancy, release any discomforts and help prepare you for childbirth. It’s also about creating a bond between you and your baby that you can take with you into parenthood.
When I first got introduced to pregnancy yoga in 2012 I was pregnant with my first son. As I was experiencing huge physical and mental transformations in my body, pregnancy yoga quickly became my safe haven. I immediately felt more at ease, re-energized and connected with my body, mind and baby. I credit the pregnancy yoga I practised with my ability to have two natural and joyous home births.
Classes are friendly and informal and suitable to everyone from 12 weeks gestation, whether you have done yoga before or not. Everyone who comes to class will be at a different stage in pregnancy and have different challenges, so I aim to make my teaching as tailored as possible to the individual.
