Ladies in Waiting

Pregnant ladies, subject to prior arrangement, are most welcome. During recent months some of our Yoga Tree girls have either already given birth or will soon have their babies. Congratulations and much love to all of you! We can put you in touch with a Yoga Mom if you would like to hear about their experience of pregnancy and Yoga.

It is wonderful if you can start practising Yoga before you become pregnant, ideally in your teens or even childhood. However, for many ladies, their pregnancy is the beginning of their Yoga journey. We will happily welcome you to the practice and help you through this special time.

Always tell your doctor first that you intend to start doing Yoga.

We do not accept new Yogis in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. However, in the second trimester you can enjoy a full practice. You can do gentle Yoga right up to and during the birth, especially the breathing techniques. Six weeks after your baby is born, we would like to see you return to class so that we can help you to get back into shape. It is also very important for new Moms to take time for themselves to stretch, breath and relax in a Yoga class at least once a week.

Private one-on-one sessions are available if you would like a personal Yoga programme tailored to your needs and your pregnancy.

We sell an excellent "Yoga for Pregnancy" DVD and video featuring Yoga guru and grandmother Ruth White.
