Yoga For Pregnancy

Practicing yoga throughout your pregnancy is a beautiful way to prepare your body and mind for not just the birth, but for your journey into motherhood.

We offer small group yoga classes with no more than 4 participants. A smaller, more intimate class allows you to relax and feel nurtured, knowing that you will receive the attention that you need.

There are many benefits to practicing yoga throughout your pregnancy. Recent research suggests that prenatal yoga may:

  • reduce pelvic pain
  • decrease pain during delivery
  • decrease stress by lowering cortisol levels (lower cortisol levels are needed to go into labour naturally)
  • improve mood and positive thinking
  • increase the confidence of pregnant women from labour into the postpartum period
  • improve perinatal outcomes (obstetrical complications, delivery time, etc.)
  • decreased depression and anxiety
