Yoga for Pregnancy in Kilmarnock
What is Yoga for Pregnancy?
These are small, specialist classes designed to meet the needs of mums-to-be from 13 weeks until birth.
Prenatal Yoga is an easy-going, safe way of staying fit and healthy throughout pregnancy without straining your body. In addition, our practices will help keep aches and pains at bay, while raising up your energy levels, helping your mind and body to relax and preparing you for the demands of childbirth and parenthood. The techniques of Yoga can also help you find an easier, lighter way to give birth.
This class is limited to 8 students at any time. Please note that this is an ongoing class, which means that you can join in at any time and enjoy all the way from 13 weeks until childbirth (if you are under 13 weeks, please make a booking as soon as possible as there can often be a waiting list for both classes).
This Group Class is suitable for most women who are generally healthy - even if you are currently unfit! However, if you have specific health issues that would prevent you partaking in a moderate level of movement and exercise, then Group Classes may not be suitable for you. If so, please follow these links to read the appropriate sections of my website on One-to-One Classes and Yoga for Healing and get in touch with me.

Testimonials
"It's a great class to learn useful breathing techniques, birthing positions, relaxation exercises, and the correct way to get out of a chair/bed amongst many other things, and lets you talk to other pregnant woman so that you know you're not alone. Having attended some ante-natal classes I would recommend it as a better way of understanding the breathing you need, and gives you a chance to learn it correctly instead of just going to one/two ante-natal classes on breathing and being expected to remember it a couple of months later." - K.G. - Glasgow
"Thanks again for all the support in the classes - it really did make a huge difference!!!" - P.M. - Glasgow
"I am very glad that I had the time in your classes beforehand, as it kept me calm when I went into second stage and I managed to avoid an epidural." - K.B. - Glasgow
