It’s recommended by the British Wheel of Yoga that those who don’t have a regular yoga practice before becoming pregnant attend pregnancy yoga after their 15 week mark.
After then in almost all cases, pregnancy yoga is recommended. I am trained to personalise each session for any ailment you might be experiencing at the time: PGP/SPD, headaches, heartburn, back pain/sciatica, round ligament pain, carpel tunnel, etc. In rare cases pregnancy yoga is not advised: if you’re experiencing any serious health issue, check with your midwife or doctor.

I really enjoyed learning the breathing techniques, I'm going to show them to my birth partner so he can help me include them during labour. I also really like the meditative ending.

I’m happy to just be apart of it and allow Charlotte to do her own thing and learn from her. I slept amazing after class!

I felt calm and rejuvenated after class. It was a good balance of social, labour tips and yoga stretches.
