Prepare your mind and body for birth with pregnancy yoga in Plymouth

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.

Preparing for birth is a big part of what we cover in pregnancy yoga. You'll learn how to move during labour and practice various birthing positions. The breathing techniques are specifically designed for pregnancy and childbirth. They’ll leave you feeling calm, confident, and in control. We also look at the pelvis, the core, and the pelvic floor muscles as they play such huge roles in pregnancy, childbirth, and after birth too! You'll learn how to strengthen and stretch them so that they're best prepared for labour and your postnatal journey.

We practice modified traditional yoga poses as well as pregnancy-specific flows. We focus on optimal foetal positioning and encouraging babies to get where they should be! We look at maintaining good posture by gently strengthening the key muscle groups, that naturally become weakened during pregnancy.

It’s important to remember that postnatal recovery starts in pregnancy! Keeping your body active and practicing Pregnancy Yoga is the perfect way to give your body a head start in the healing process after birth.

Pregnancy yoga will give you all the right tools to encourage you to have a positive Bump, Birth & Beyond experience!

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.
