Prenatal Yoga

Pregnancy is a special time in a woman's life - it is a time for nurturing, slowing down and learning to meditate, while being in the company of other mothers-to-be. Join our Prenatal Yoga Classes to stay safely physically active during pregnancy; to learn meditation and breathing techniques which will help you during pregnancy, labor, and beyond; and take time to turn your attention inward and nurture this special time with your baby.

Yoga during pregnancy can help:

· bring awareness to your changing body
· improve oxygen flow to your organs and your babies
· increase stamina and strength
· prepare yourself physically and mentally for giving birth
· concentrate - ease fears and tension
· relax and cultivate a general feeling of wellbeing

At Yoga Moves you can expect to MOVE. We will offer you ways to stay in the flow of your body, so be prepared to work a little, breath a lot, and relax deeply. A wonderful experience both for the experienced yogini and for those women who are new to yoga. No previous experience practicing yoga is required.

Partner Workshop

Prepare yourself for birth in this one evening workshop for couples. We will be working on breathing, how to support contractions and be practicing birthing positions. Your partner will learn how to support you in the best possible way during labour. You can bring your life partner, but also friend, mother or someone else you would like to have with you during birth. Designed to support women and their partners who attend our pre-natal yoga classes however all welcome. You do not need to have done the pre-natal course at Yoga Moves to join this class. Offered about once every 5 weeks. See our Partner Workshop.

Conscious Birth Prep (4 week course)

This four week course focuses on mothers in their third trimester and is offered as a compliment to the prenatal yoga and partner birth courses already offered at Yoga Moves. We will focus on building the connection between mother and child and empowering women to prepare for the amazing journey of giving birth.

During these four sessions, we will explore:
• prenatal yoga with a focus on birthing positions and easing pregnancy-related discomfort
• options for where/how to give birth and creating a birth plan
• options for pain management, breathing and meditation techniques
• the birth process + stages of delivery.
