A yoga for pregnancy class is designed specifically for mums-to-be who have no experience of yoga. It's simple to practice and gently nurtures you and your baby.

First we move and stretch into simple postures. They are designed to build strength for the birth, release tension and create space for your baby to grow and for you to breathe.

Soothing breathing practices help you to relax, but also give you simple tools to ease the labour and birth of your baby. You'll understand how to make your breath effective to help the birth and how to ease the 'sensations' of labour. Repeating these breathing practices regularly helps to plant them firmly in your memory ready for when you need them.

At the end of the class we relax. It's important to know how to let go physically and mentally, releasing your fears and worries allowing you to sleep soundly throughout your pregnancy and prepare you for the labour ahead.

A single minute of pure experience teaches us more than millions of words and hundreds of explanations
