Pregnancy Yoga IN STUDIO Classes

Location:  at Poppleton or Acomb Studios

 //  April & May 2025

My *award winning* Pregnancy Yoga classes (voted best Pregnancy Class in York in the 2023 Little Viking Awards) are super friendly and welcoming to all. They allow you to develop strength, flexibility and breath awareness whilst learning positions and movements for labour that can help you birthing your baby. We use movement to ease pregnancy niggles like sore backs, tight shoulders, puffy feet and aches around the pelvis. These classes also give you some time to nurture yourself and connect with your baby at this very special time. Also a great way to meet and connect with other local mums-to-be in an supportive and friendly environment. NO previous yoga experience required. . 

We will work through calming and focusing breathing techniques, adapted yoga postures for the pregnant body, pelvic floor exercises, stamina building and gorgeous deep relaxations that encourage you to tune into your own body and your baby too, and help you to sleep. We also dedicate some time at the start of the class to chat with the group of mums, so you'll build an invaluable support network of local mothers for when your baby arrives. This is SO important and so valuable, I cannot begin to tell you. #findyourtribe

During pregnancy yoga can help to support mothers-to-be both emotionally and physically. These classes give expectant mothers the faith, awareness and practical tools to respond creatively and positively to the challenges of pregnancy, birthing and mothering in the modern world. 

Open to women from your 12 week scan in pregnancy until the birth of your baby. Start at any time in your pregnancy. Absolutely NO previous yoga experience required (and many women have never been to a yoga class before). Everyone welcome - any age, body shape, fitness level.

Some feedback from my classes:

"If M&S did pregnancy yoga it wouldn't be as good as this!"

"The hi-light of my pregnant week"

"Susan's list of qualifications is longer than an umbilical cord!"

"Susan's pregnancy yoga classes have been a real sanity saver through the covid pandemic. It has been so amazing to meet and connect with other local pregnant women via her lovely supportive and friendly classes"

"I've always been a bit wary and nervous of yoga (including pregnancy yoga) and have been put off through fear of not knowing any terminology / thinking I'm not supple or fit enough. But this was a brilliant, easy to follow, and I really enjoyed the whole session. Thank you Susan " Zoe

"I really miss the classes so much now I've had my baby! I always came home feeling great, so calm and relaxed, and had the best nights sleep of the week. Thank you Susan" Kate

"I cannot recommend Susan enough...I went to her pregnancy yoga class where the atmosphere was so welcoming and relaxing. Susan is extremely knowledgeable and taught me some brilliant techniques; from positions for labour to breathing techniques, as well as allowing a weekly de-stress from normal day to day life. I only realise now, how important it was to have some "me time," and time to connect with bump, away from the busy working day. I can't wait to now join mum and baby yoga!" Sophie

"I went to a group physio session at the hospital last week and the physio was singing the praises of pregnancy yoga! All of the exercises she showed us I knew from your sessions, so thank you!" Jill

And questions at all please do ask me  (no question too silly by the way!)- susan@formodernmothers.com
