Practising yoga & Pilates during pregnancy

Activity and exercise during pregnancy can be very beneficial, and mums-to-be in all trimesters are welcome to attend our dedicated Pregnancy Yoga. Access to our other classes is limited as not all of our teachers are trained and insured
to accept pregnant students. As a rule, you will need to have been practicing yoga or Pilates prior to becoming pregnant, and you will need to be aware of the modifications to poses and exercises required to ensure that your practice remains safe for you and the baby.

Important note

Please check for cover teachers before attending, as they may not be trained and insured to accept pregnant students.

Pregnancy & postnatal questions

A few practical points to help you choose the right route and book with confidence.

Can complete beginners attend Pregnancy yoga?

Yes. The dedicated Pregnancy yoga class is suitable for all levels and requires no previous yoga experience.

Can I attend during my first trimester?

All trimesters are welcome in Pregnancy Yoga. If joining during your first trimester, GP or midwife approval is recommended.

Can I attend normal yoga or Pilates classes while pregnant?

Sometimes, but access is limited. Not every teacher is trained and insured to teach pregnant students. You will generally need an established pre-pregnancy practice, appropriate modifications and approval from the named teacher.

When can I start Mother & Baby?

As a general guide, wait at least six weeks after an uncomplicated vaginal birth or twelve weeks after a caesarean birth, and obtain individual clearance from your healthcare professional before returning to exercise.

What happens if my baby needs feeding or changing?

That is completely expected. You can feed, change, settle or cuddle your baby whenever needed and return to the class when you are ready.
