6 week course of Pregnancy Yoga - Classes start at 8:15pm every Wednesday starting 6th September

What happens during a typical prenatal yoga class?

A typical prenatal yoga class might involve:

• Breathing: You'll be encouraged to focus on breathing in and out slowly and deeply through the nose. Prenatal yoga breathing techniques might help you reduce or manage shortness of breath during pregnancy and work through contractions during labor.

• Gentle stretching: You'll be encouraged to gently move different areas of your body, such as your neck and arms, through their full range of motion.

• Postures: While standing, sitting or lying on the ground, you'll gently move your body into different positions aimed at developing your strength, flexibility and balance. Props — such as blankets, cushions and belts — might be used to provide support and comfort.

• Cool down and relaxation: At the end of each prenatal yoga class, you'll relax your muscles and restore your resting heart rate and breathing rhythm. You might be encouraged to listen to your own breathing, pay close attention to sensations, thoughts and emotions, or repeat a mantra or word to bring about a state of self-awareness and inner calm.

• The class will finish with a hypnobirthing meditation
