MOON WOMEN'S HEALTH

YogaBirth classes are specifically designed for pregnancy and are tailored to adapt to your ever-changing body. They are suitable from 14 weeks onwards, and attention is given to how you may be feeling at different stages in your pregnancy.

The first 30 minutes of each class is set aside for tea and relaxed discussion about pregnancy and birth topics, giving you the opportunity to connect with other mums-to-be in a welcoming environment and feel supported and informed.

We then move into the yoga practice, engaging your body, your breath and your intuition. Many of the postures taught in class are useful positions during labour, and the rhythmic breathing techniques help to calm both body and mind, which is valuable whatever type of birth you have.

Regular practice of the postures and breathing helps them become ingrained, familiar, and soothing to you. This means that when the time eventually comes for your baby to be born, you can confidently draw upon these tools to help you feel more comfortable and centred, regardless of how your birth unfolds.

The classes are suitable for all fitness levels, whether you are brand new to yoga or have a regular practice already. Guidance on adaptations and adjustments is provided as needed, ensuring everyone can practise comfortably. Each class closes with a soothing relaxation to help you settle further and connect with your body and your baby.
