Are you pregnant and have heard yoga has amazing benefits on the prenatal body or are you already a yogi, now wanting to safely continue your practice? Yogabellies for Pregnancy sessions are unique, revolutionary prenatal yoga classes for pregnant women.

At Yogabellies with Ellie we will shine a light on the myths of pregnancy and birth, fill you with confidence and options and empower you to become that Goddess with a bump.

Our classes run in four or eight class blocks with a new class each week.  These blocks can be joined any week there is space available and repeated again and again to build on your practice and knowledge. There are new postures and information every class as we evolve. Please note this is a journey not a drop in gym style class although there are drop ins available for those not able to journey!

Each week we learn how to effectively breath in pregnancy and birth, discover different topics to help you through your pregnancy and prepare yourself for the big day. You will enjoy a guided relaxation with gentle self-hypnosis where you can relax your mind as well as your body. Yeeha! All that plus a new 40-minute yoga sequence each week from targeting different areas of the pregnant body which need TLC, to yoga postures used to help enhance labour and to use in early labour. See below for what we get up to in each session.
