We wish you much joy throughout your pregnancy and for your new life to come.

From time to time we will have a guest speaker (Mothercraft Nurse, Heather Baldwin) who will be pleased to answer any questions you may have about your pregnancy.

Generally you will not need to bring anything to class with you. If it is a hot day, you may wish to bring some bottled water and a hand towel. We supply the mats, blankets and cushions, however if you have a favourite item that you would like to bring please feel free to do so.

Loose comfortable clothing. Classes are taken barefoot, however you may like to bring a pair of woolly socks during the winter months.

If you need to eat prior to your Pre Natal Yoga class try to keep your meal as light as possible. (Excercise on a full stomach is not very comfortable, even though the exercise is light.)

Please advise your teacher prior to class if you have any medical conditions which should be brought to our attention.

According to Yogic tradition Yoga should be started as early as possible in your pregnancy or at the time of conception. Ideally the time when you are planning your pregnancy is the best time to start.

Pre Natal Yoga practices are used to assist in an easy delivery and a relaxed pregnancy. The traditional concepts of Yoga and Motherhood gives emphasis to the bay's overall development of the physical, mental and intellectual capabilities.

If you are in the stages of planning your pregnancy it is good for both the Mother and the Father to prepare themselves physically, mentally and emotionally for parenthood. During this time you might like to pray, asking that God bestows upon you His blessings for the child that you are wanting to bring into the world.

The new life starts from the moment of conception, so try to make this time a very pleasant and joyous occasion. It has been scientifically established that the mood of the parents at the time of conception can influence the course of the pregnancy and the qualities of the child. During these nine months the mother's health is of the utmost importance to herself and the child.

The mother should avoid mental and physical conflict and ensure a positive attitude which will assist in the development of the brain and the mind of the child. This can be acheived through the regular practice of Pre Natal Yoga.

A normal healthy woman should be able to perform Pre Natal Yoga exercises without any discomfort or difficulty. If you have a specific condition that may prevent you from participating in regular Pre Natal Yoga class please consult your doctor for advice prior to attending classes.

Yoga postures for pregnancy are light, and when carried out under proper supervision can be very beneficial for both you and your baby. Yoga postures come under the discipline of Hatha Yoga and what makes these different from other exercises is the conscious breathing exercises which are used in conjunction with the postures.

The benefit of deep breathing together with correct breathing practices is that it helps to oxygenate the blood during delivery, it assists in smooth delivery of the baby. Conscious deep breathing gives a large supply of oxygen which is useful in removing waste products from the body. These waste products become accumulated because of tensions and incorrect breathing, which result in physical stiffness and mental fatigue. With breath awareness we can achieve muscular relaxation and a calm mind
