Pregnancy Yoga

Pregnancy yoga is a gentle yoga class adapted for pregnancy, with stretching, breathing and relaxation. Classes avoid poses that are not safe in pregnancy, and many people value meeting other parents-to-be. There is some evidence that yoga while expecting a baby may ease stress, low mood and back pain: see “Pregnancy yoga: what the research says”. Tell your teacher how many weeks pregnant you are, avoid hot yoga, and check with your midwife or doctor before you start.
