Help keep your body strong and prepare for labour - both physically and emotionally. We practice labour breathing techniques, strengthen your body: pelvic floors & your core to cope well with your growing baby, increase hip & groin flexibility and finish with a deep relaxation.
Not only does prenatal yoga assist to ease labour, but it also helps you feel much more calm and relaxed during pregnancy also.
Benefits of yoga during pregnancy:
- strengthen and tone your pelvic floor muscles
- alleviate some of the common discomforts of pregnancy: back ache, swollen feet
- stretch, tone, strengthen and relax
- improve circulation
- re-balance and re-centre yourself
- bond with your baby
- increase your energy levels
- meet other pregnant mums in the local area
- learn breathing techniques for relaxation and labour

Anna Holland is an Advanced Yoga Teacher 500hrs YTT and has been practicing yoga since she was 14. "I run Vastu, our beautiful log cabin garden yoga studio in New Malden. I teach Vinyasa Flow (Gentle SLow Flow or Strong Moderate Flow), Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga for Teens and Well Women yoga. My classes are for everyone and include yoga breathing exercises, meditation and relaxation (with warm fluffy blankets and lavender eye pillows). Classes are small so I can ensure we work at your pace and towards your goals and provide necessary adjustments so you get as much out of your class as possible.
