WHY PRENATAL YOGA CLASSES?
~ A Space to attune to the journey you are on ~
by Kira Cook, MayaPrenatal 02 July 2025
There’s something powerful about walking into a space and knowing—this is for me. No need to explain your changing pace, your shifting center of gravity, your new relationship with movement. In a prenatal yoga class, the atmosphere itself is attuned to the journey you’re on.
It’s not just yoga “with modifications.” It’s yoga reimagined for pregnancy—created with deep understanding, care, and reverence for this unique time in your life.
Why Prenatal Yoga Classes Offer Something Special
🌿 Physical Support Tailored for Pregnancy
- • You’ll be guided through postures designed for each trimester, not against them. Every movement respects your body’s changing landscape.
- • The pace is slower and steadier, so you won’t feel out of breath, rushed, or left behind.
- • Common discomforts—back pain, tension around the uterus, reflux, fluid retention, pelvic instability—are gently addressed with targeted practices.
- • Breathwork, sound, and pelvic floor awareness are woven in to support birth preparation, ease, and presence.
- • You’ll learn how to create space—physically and emotionally—as your baby grows inside you.
- • Teachers focus on what you can do, which builds confidence in your body and your ability to support your baby.
💗 Emotional Nourishment & Community
- • In a prenatal class you can talk about ylour pregnancy, laugh about it, and cry if you need to.
- • The energy of the room is shared—every woman is on this path. It feels safe, supportive, and familiar.
- • You’ll find other mums going through similar experiences. Conversations spark before and after class. Friendships often begin here.
- • You may feel more at ease in your body—no comparison, no pressure—just acceptance and growing self-love.
- • It’s a sacred pause. A moment to bond with your baby, to breathe deeply, to connect inward before returning to the world outside.
- • For many women, this becomes a small weekly ritual of emotional spaciousness—time away from work, obligations, or other children.
A Gentle Reminder
You deserve a space where your pregnancy isn’t an afterthought—it’s the center.
Where your practice is not about keeping up, but coming home.
Prenatal yoga is not just about the postures.
It’s about building trust in your body, preparing for birth with grace, and feeling held by a circle of women walking beside you.
Closing Affirmation
I honour the changes in my body.
I welcome the wisdom of this moment.
