Prenatal Yoga in Exeter

Inspiring, nurturing and grounded support for women and their babies during pregnancy (from 14wks)

Prenatal Yoga Classes offer transformational tools that provide safe, inspiring, nurturing and grounded support for women and their babies in pregnancy. Prenatal yoga is a wonderful way to prepare body and mind for labour, birth, motherhood and the transformations that arise on the way.

The class will create a consistent and supportive space for women at their most intense period of change in life. We will come together and practice yoga through the exploration of breath, relaxation, sound, contemplation and flowing postures. Integrated into the more familiar yoga territory are modern movement based pelvic floor work, holistic birth preparation strategies, 'birthing tools' and relevant open discussion.
