Prenatal Yoga Classes in Coburg
A supportive weekly prenatal yoga class in Coburg, open to women at any stage of pregnancy and easy to reach from Brunswick, Preston, Thornbury and Northcote.

What you will gain in class
These classes go beyond the basic prenatal idea of slow yoga with no twists. They combine breathwork, physical postures both subtle and dynamic, meditation and deep relaxation, giving women space to care for body, mind and heart through the stages of pregnancy. You will be encouraged to connect with your intuitive self and your innate birth wisdom, and to meet other mums in your community.
