Helping women across Ryedale physically and mentally prepare for an active birth using pregnancy yoga and mindfulness.
Pregnancy Yoga in Yorkshire
How are you preparing for labour?
You may have heard that giving birth is like running a marathon. Both require physical and mental effort as well as endurance. And they are much easier when we have prepared!
Would you like to feel empowered during your pregnancy while preparing your body and mind for birth?
My pregnancy yoga classes will help you to understand how to move safely and work with your body, leaving you feeling confident in your body’s ability to birth your baby.
We will safely explore movements that can be used during your labour to manage surges (contractions), while helping to maintain your strength and stamina and better prepare you for the physical and mental demands of labour and birth.
Having a pregnancy yoga specialist to guide and support you, will ensure your yoga practise is both supportive and safe for you and your baby.

PREGNANCY SOCIALS
“It was lovely to chat to other women and realise I wasn’t alone in some of my experiences and we formed a support network. Having people in my phone, who are awake at the same time as me, going through similar things and sharing the absolute highs and lows has been invaluable.”

PREGNANCY YOGA
“Attending weekly classes definitely helped me to stay active during labour. It taught me to trust my body and follow my instincts during my contractions by listening to my body and moving in a way that felt good. I used my birth ball a lot in early labour, using a variety of poses we had practiced in class.”

RELAXATION RETREAT
“The experience helped me to focus on myself and my pregnancy, leaving me feeling relaxed and more connected to my growing bump. As an active person (I loved running and HIIT) I hadn't realised how much my body actually wanted to slow down and stretch, and how much I would benefit from closing my eyes and just 'being'.”
