We do ask that you take full responsibility for your body and invite you to be guided by the feedback that your body gives you. Our teachers will provide modifications throughout our classes. Please let your teacher know before class starts so they can provide appropriate modifications.
I’m pregnant can I do Yoga/Pilates?
Absolutely! As long as your doctor has cleared you for this, our Pregnancy Yoga classes along with most of our other classes will be perfect for your changing body at this time. Please note, our Athletic Reformer classes are not suitable for pregnancy.
If you are new to the practice we recommend that you choose a gentler class such as Gentle Flow, Yin, Restorative or Pilates Mat. If you are a seasoned practitioner, please be aware as your body changes so might your practice. We encourage you to take full responsibility for your practice and take it moment by moment adjusting to suit you and bub as you need.
Our specific Pregnancy Yoga classes are at 3pm on Sunday afternoons you can find more information here. Many of our other classes are suitable for your pregnant body, you can read the class descriptions under the classes & services tab.
We ask that you please inform your teacher before class so they are aware of your pregnancy and can provide any modifications to best serve you.
When should I start Pregnancy Yoga?
You can come to Pregnancy Yoga classes from 12 weeks onwards. In most cases it is fine to practice all the way through until your baby’s arrival. In fact a lot of women get the most benefit out of Pregnancy Yoga in the final few weeks before bub arrives as they use to Pregnancy Yoga to relax the body further in preparation for childbirth and ease any discomforts that tend to pop up in the final weeks. Speak to your teacher if you have any changes in your body or health that occur as your pregnancy progresses and they can advise if you need to stop any sooner.
Do you offer Mums n Bub’s Classes?
