Yoga is the ideal exercise for pregnant and post natal women
and is safe and accessible to all, whether new to Yoga or an
experienced practitioner.
It provides practical support in preparing for birth with an
emphasis on preventive care and is widely recommended by midwives
and doctors as a way of keeping fit and mobile in pregnancy and
beyond.
These yoga classes provide you with the opportunity to safely
stretch, strengthen, breath and relax. The aim is to give you
the tools to practice at home in order to maintain a healthy
pregnancy, prepare for birthing physically and mentally, get
to know your baby and aid the recovery of your post natal body
and give you quality time out to relax, get to know and bond
with your growing baby.
Yoga can help prevent or relieve common minor pregnancy or post
natal related ailments and will help keep your body supple, boost
energy and relieve stress and anxiety whilst also being a great
opportunity for you to meet other expectant or new mums.
It is important to listen to your
intuition in pregnancy and beyond, do what feels right for
you and your baby. If you feel
you need to rest, feed, nappy change etc then please do so, you
do not have to join in every exercise, listen to and respond
to your body’s needs, remember the class is time out for
you and your baby.
The main aim of the birth preparation workshop is to give the
birthing partner a more confident supportive role towards the
expectant mother during birthing.
Often a birthing partner can be at a loss as to exactly how to
help, they may be uncertain, nervous and find the experience
distressing.
This workshop provides basic tools to help and support the birthing
mother physically and emotionally whilst learning to relax,
accept and trust in the whole event as it unfolds.
Please enquire for dates
and further information.

Previous
expectant mothers from this class have said:-
‘"t felt
like a wonderfully indulgent time for me and my baby and
was invaluable for me. Yoga in pregnancy is a great opportunity
to stop and listen to you body at such a hectic time".’NR
"To be honest I didn’t really know what to expect
but have really enjoyed all the sessions, they really helped
with my back and I always slept amazingly well on a Monday
night. I have told my midwife about the classes and think
every pregnant woman should come" .LT
“I joined Lizzy’s Antenatal Yoga class, because
I saw it as something structured and safe for myself and baby.
I found to my surprise that it was much more. I have learnt many
things that have helped to empower me about birth, including
movement, focused breathing and relaxation".
"
Knowing what to expect, and what I can do to help the process
calms anxieties I had, I am now looking forward to the birth.” Brenda
Previous mothers from post natal class have said:-
"I hoped to gain relaxation tips, healing of mind and body
and the opportunity to ‘network’ – all achieved.
Thank you so much, the whole yoga experience has been fantastic!’"DB
"I would definitely recommend these classes to others.
I have thoroughly enjoyed them, it has been good to see other
babies grow and develop and I have made some new friends that
I hope to keep in touch with ".EK
