Pregnancy Yoga Classes in North West London

Pregnancy Yoga

Iyengar Yoga uses supportive props to help you practise safely and comfortably throughout pregnancy. Gentle poses create space for your growing baby, improve posture, ease back discomfort, and strengthen the pelvic floor.

Calming breathing practices help you relax, support comfortable breathing, and encourage a deeper connection with your changing body. Suitable throughout pregnancy, classes offer a nurturing space to build strength, confidence, and wellbeing for both you and your baby.

In the Iyengar yoga tradition, students are advised not to begin or resume yoga practice during pregancy until after week 17.

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.
