The ante-natal yoga class is suitable for all women from 14 weeks of pregnancy, right up to the due date, wether they have practised yoga before or not. Pregnancy is a magical time of tremendous change, both physically and emotionally. Ante-natal yoga aims to empower and prepare mothers-to-be to feel calm, strong and in control mentally and physically, safely keeping the body toned and supple without strain, whilst preparing for the birth of their baby and motherhood. Common discomforts that occur during pregnancy can be alleviated, like lower back pain, pelvic pain, heartburn, indigestion, swollen joints, breathlessness, tiredness and sleep disturbances. Yoga can provide women with much needed rest, increases energy and vitality, enhances overall well-being and allows for time to connect with their baby and own inner wisdom.
