Pregnancy Yoga Classes designed for Mothers and Babies

Pregnancy yoga + Post-Class Social Tea

Iyengar yoga uses supportive props so mom and baby can practice safely and with ease. During pregnancy, we focus on poses that create space in the uterus to support healthy circulation and give your baby plenty of room to move. Postures that lengthen and align the spine help relieve lower back pain and strengthen the pelvic floor, while pranayama breathing techniques gently open the chest to improve oxygen flow for both mother and baby. Practicing Iyengar yoga during pregnancy can calm the nerves, helping to ease tiredness and tension.

Please note: in the Iyengar yoga tradiition, students are advised not to begin or resume yoga practice during pregancy until after week 17.

We are thrilled to partner with Sarah Seror from The Motherhood Practice for our upcoming Pregnancy Course. Recognising that the journey to motherhood is better shared, Sarah will be hosting a Post-Class Social Tea after every Friday session. As a community lead, founder, and mum of two, Sarah’s goal is to ensure you leave the course with a support group and ‘village’ to hang out with after birth. Stay for a cuppa, break the ice, and build lasting connections!

The Motherhood Practice is a specialist midwife service designed to complement the NHS throughout your maternity journey.

Pregnancy Yoga Classes FAQ

If you already regularly attend classes, let your teacher know as soon as you have a positive pregnancy test as some poses should be avoided. In most cases we advise that existing students continue to attend classes up until week 9 of their pregnancy, resuming practice again after week 15.

If you are new to yoga, you can join our pregnancy classes after week 17 of your pregnancy.

No, you do not need to have practised yoga before. But if there are any complications in the pregnancy please check with the teacher.

Students with any existing medical condition (knee pain, neck pain, high blood pressure etc) should consult their doctor before enrolling. If you have a health problem, come 5-10 minutes early to talk to the teacher before class. If your baby is in an unusual position, you must inform the teacher.

You should wear comfortable loose clothing that allows teachers to see your body, including your feet and legs. Most students wear leggings or shorts.

Pregnancy yoga classes are designed to help you throughout pregnancy to enjoy a state of wellbeing and to prepare for your birth. Iyengar yoga is very precise and safe. You will learn how to work with supports to get the maximum benefit from each yoga pose.

Most women can practise up to the last week of their pregnancy. As stated in the FAQs above, we advise established students not to come to classes from weeks 9-15 of their pregnancy. We suggest that those new to yoga only come to class after week 16 of their pregnancy.

You can take them later, after you have had your baby.

You can come to pregnancy yoga classes after six weeks if you had a natural birth without complications, or after 10 to 12 weeks if you had a C-section or experienced any complications. When you return to any class, you must inform your teacher that you have had a baby.
