Prenatal Yoga
What you will gain at our classes
These classes go beyond the basic prenatal tenets of ‘slow yoga with no twists’. They combine breathwork, physical postures, both subtle and dynamic, meditation and deep relaxation. They provide an opportunity for women to nurture their body, mind and heart during the various stages of pregnancy. Gently guided by Ange, an experienced yoga teacher and women’s health practitioner, you will be encouraged to connect to your intuitive self and tap into your innate birth wisdom. These classes are a great way to connect with other mums in your community.
