Service Description

Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga A gentle, supportive yoga and movement programme designed to accompany women through pregnancy and the early years of motherhood — from pregnancy through to two years after birth. Our sessions combine pregnancy-safe yoga, gentle mobility, stretching, breathing, balance, light strengthening and relaxation techniques, adapted to the changing needs of the body throughout pregnancy and the postnatal period. During pregnancy, movement focuses on maintaining mobility, supporting posture and balance, gently strengthening the muscles needed for everyday movement and birth, relieving common areas of tension, and developing breathing and relaxation skills. After birth, sessions gradually support the body as it recovers and changes. We focus on gentle rebuilding of strength, mobility, posture, balance and core stability, while allowing women to progress at their own pace. The programme can also provide a valuable opportunity to reconnect with the body, release tension and take a little time for yourself. Whether you are pregnant, recently postpartum, or up to two years after giving birth, the sessions are designed to be inclusive, gentle and adaptable to your stage of motherhood. No previous yoga experience is needed. You do not need to be flexible or fit — simply come as you are. A Free 12-Week Programme Every woman can access a free 12-week term of Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga, giving you the opportunity to build confidence, develop new yoga and movement skills, and learn practical ways to support your body through pregnancy and the postnatal years. Sessions are designed to help improve mobility, strength, flexibility, relaxation and body awareness, while supporting women to manage everyday aches, tension and changes in movement during this important stage of life. This programme is made possible thanks to funding from The National Lottery and Sport England, whose support allows us to offer these sessions free of charge and create a welcoming space where women can move, connect and feel supported throughout pregnancy and the first two years of motherhood. We are incredibly grateful for their investment in the health, wellbeing and movement of women in our community. We have just 10 spaces available each term, so if you feel this programme is right for you, book your free place today and give yourself the opportunity to move, learn and feel supported during this important stage of life.
