Yoga for Pregnancy

with Ayeisha

@ayeishayoga

This course is for pregnant individuals in their second and third trimesters who want to keep moving, stay grounded, and grow with their bodies during pregnancy. We’ll move gently and with intention, following our bodies’ (and our babies’!) cues, with a particular focus on using the breath as an anchor. The course will consist of people at different stages of their pregnancy and will offer lots of options to rediscover your changing body as your baby grows. Whether you’re completely new to yoga or a dedicated yogi, this course will help you stay grounded and connected to your body throughout your pregnancy. It is beginner-friendly and suitable for all levels.

COURSE OUTCOMES

  1. To build and maintain strength and mobility throughout all stages of pregnancy, increasing awareness of how best to navigate changes in our weight, body, and centre of gravity.

  2. To discover the power of breath and explore how we might use breath and movement to encourage the baby into the optimal position for labour and birth.

  3. To reduce stress and cultivate an environment of nurturing, respect, and connection as a secure foundation for parenting.

  • Dedicated yoga practitioner and teacher with a passion for building community, peace and power through the practice. Whether teaching a dynamic vinyasa or gentle pregnancy flows, my classes are inclusive yet challenging - meeting students where they’re at while encouraging them to go further. My standard yoga practice is informed by ashtanga and rocket based sequences, while my pre and postnatal classes blend breathwork with moving meditation. My students can benefit from hands-on assists and step-by-step progression support, including inversions and hand balancing.
