Prepare your mind and
body for birth with
Pregnancy Yoga.
Pregnancy yoga is a relaxing and restorative practice, designed to guide you through each trimester of your pregnancy feeling calm, comfortable and connected.
Traditional yoga poses, tailored for pregnancy.
Our Pregnancy Yoga classes in Plymouth are designed to support your body, mind, and baby throughout pregnancy. We focus on preparing for birth, teaching gentle movements and birthing positions, as well as breathing techniques to help you feel calm, confident, and in control during labour.
Classes also concentrate on strengthening and stretching your core, pelvis, and pelvic floor — key areas that support pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal recovery. We practice modified traditional yoga poses and pregnancy-specific flows, promoting optimal foetal positioning, good posture, and balanced strength throughout your body.
Pregnancy Yoga isn’t just about your bump — it’s about giving your body the tools for a smoother labour, easier postnatal recovery, and a positive Bump, Birth & Beyond experience. Stay active, connect with your baby, and enjoy a supportive, safe environment designed for you and your changing body.

Absolutely not! Pregnancy Yoga should be practiced during labour and birth so you don’t have to stop at 40 weeks. The only occasion on which you’d need to stop Pregnancy Yoga is if you’ve been advised to stop all physical activity by your health care professional. If that’s the case you can ask them if you can still practice gentle stretches. Their response will be based on your specific medical reasons for being told to stop physical exercise but it’s always good to ask, as you could still be receiving a lot of the benefits from just gentle stretching and breathing exercises.

Pregnancy Yoga is designed specifically for your ever-changing pregnant body. Our specialist team of instructors know how to guide you through a practice that’s safe for both you, and your baby. We ensure that you don’t put too much pressure on your joints and we work specifically at relieving pressure around your body. We avoid things like getting you to lie down on your back and putting you in any position that puts pressure on your abdomen.
We always advise that you speak to your healthcare professional before taking part in any Pregnancy Yoga.
