Mindful Pregnancy Yoga
Mindful Pregnancy Yoga
A gentle series to support body connection, calm, and confidence during pregnancy.
This short prenatal yoga course was lovingly recorded during the quiet, reflective time of COVID lockdowns. It includes a couple of accessible yoga classes and a selection of supportive resources to help you reconnect with your body, settle your nervous system, and prepare for the transitions of pregnancy and birth.
Designed with safety, sensitivity, and the unique needs of pregnancy in mind, this offering blends mindful movement, breath practices, and gentle somatic tools to invite ease, presence, and connection—both with yourself and your growing baby.
Return to your body. Honour the changes. Move gently through pregnancy.

My own journey into motherhood cracked me open and reshaped the way I work. This course draws from what I’ve lived and what I’ve learned — an offering to help you come home to your body, honour your matrescence, and move through this season with compassion and connection.
Course FAQ

Not at all. Many women come to find yoga for the first time when pregnant. This class is suitable for beginners, and also if you have yoga experience.

I understand how it feels to have a full life when pregnant and as a mother. Each week is designed to be modular, you can dip in and out as needed. There are a variety of times for each practice and you can return to them anytime. This is about finding space for nourishment and connection, not pressure.
-
Whilst I am a registered Occupational Therapist, this course is not a substitute for one-on-one therapy or sessions. It offers some therapeutic tools and somatic practices and reflective prompts, grounded in evidence base, but does not replace individualised care.
