Pregnancy Yoga Classes
Mondays | 18:00 - 19:00
Fridays | 10:00 - 11:00
Location: Move & Heal Studio, Springhead
A supportive and nurturing pregnancy yoga class designed for the second and third trimester to help you feel stronger, calmer and steadier as your body changes.
Suitable from after your dating scan onwards.
Prior to this stage, current recommendations are to rest and be kind to yourself.
What to Expect
We focus on gentle movement, nourishing shapes, appropriate breath work, relaxation, optimal fetal and labour positioning and supportive mantras to help you connect with your baby and mentally prepare for birth of baby.
Mats and props are provided, including bolsters, eye pillows, small yoga balls, spiky massage balls and resistance bands.
Prior to attendance please purchase, pump up & bring an anti-burst Swiss yoga ball (55cm or 65cm depending on your height and personal preference), a bottle of water, and cosy socks or a warm jumper during colder months.
You are still welcome to attend without a Swiss ball, and adaptations will always be offered, though it is strongly recommended as we use it regularly throughout class.

"I'm so passionate about Yoga being a means to not only support you in your pregnancy but in your baby's birth and beyond too. My style of Yoga can be described as science meets spirituality. It's softening, strengthening and stabilising: All essential in your journey through pregnancy. I'll share with you all I have learnt so far weaving in magic and logic in equal measure.

Testimonial
Amy Jones, Sophie's Pregnancy Yoga Teacher and mentor has been in the Yoga industry for over 14 years and has been teaching Pregnancy Yoga for 12 years. Here's Amy's feedback on Sophie's Pregnancy Yoga:
"You are such a beautiful, intuitive and knowledgeable Teacher and that really shined through in the support of the women… You’re so aware of the right things to say, how to guide women, the verbal cues and birth preparation- All of it is outstanding.
I really hope you are sharing this with the world, with women, you are so needed.
Your planning is excellent and that also shone through into your teaching. You’ve got an excellent understanding of modifications because pregnant women can come at you with a whole multitude of things, and your understanding of modifications for those main things that women are going to experience; wrist pain, pelvic pain, heartburn, it was all excellent.
Your knowledge and the way you teach will allow the woman, whatever stage of pregnancy she is at, however her body is responding to pregnancy, however her body was before she got pregnant, to find a place in your class.
That is why you are and why you will be an outstanding pregnancy Yoga Teacher."
