PREGNANCY YOGA
Calm Beginnings is dedicated to supporting expectant mothers on their beautiful journey to motherhood. Our Pregnancy Yoga class is specially designed to nurture the body, mind, and spirit during this transformative time, providing a safe and supportive environment for both mother and baby.
WHY CHOOSE PREGNANCY YOGA
Pregnancy Yoga offers a gentle yet powerful way to stay active, alleviate discomfort, and prepare for childbirth. In class I will guide you through a series of carefully curated postures, breathing techniques, and mindfulness practices that cater to the unique needs of pregnancy. Whether you are a seasoned yogi or new to yoga, our classes are adaptable for all fitness levels and stages of pregnancy from 12 weeks.
BENEFITS OF PREGNANCY YOGA
Pregnancy Yoga enhances strength, flexibility, and endurance, essential for a healthy pregnancy and a smoother labour. It helps alleviate common pregnancy-related issues such as back pain, swelling, and fatigue through targeted exercises. The practice promotes better sleep patterns with relaxation and breathing techniques, reduces stress and anxiety, fostering a sense of calm and inner peace, and develops a deeper connection with your baby through mindful practices and visualisation.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN OUR CLASSES
Class begins with a sharing circle giving you the opportunity to chat with other expectant mothers and share your experiences. We then enjoy the practice of yoga, each week offering familiar poses and stretches whilst also providing a little bit of a challenge to help strengthen and prepare your body for managing pregnancy and birth. The class will end with savasana, a period of stillness or relaxation to help your body rest and mind calm.
