A private Pregnancy Partner Yoga Class allows us time to get to know you and your unique circumstances more fully and improve the specificity of the class for your needs as a partnership. This goes beyond what is offered in the

pregnancy partner workshop, or can be a valuable follow-up to integrate and build upon the learnings and deepening relationships as you prepare for birth.

Whatever is most comfortable for you, that allows you full range of movement.

For most people, we find this is something that provides modest coverage and is not too tight, but also not too loose that your limbs get caught up when you move.

In-Studio:

We provide all equipment for classes at the studio. So just bring water and snacks if you need.

Home Visit:

If we are coming to you, we will bring all equipment needed.

Other Locations:

You may need to BYO yoga mat, but we will let you know ahead of time. (Don’t stress, we always have a few spares on hand if you forget or don’t own one).

It certainly is. You will be at no disadvantage as Prenatal Yoga is very specialised compared to a ‘general’ yoga class.

Certainly. There are no fitness or flexibility requirements to practice yoga. It is about meeting yourself wherever you are at and supporting you as you are.

We are not a fatphobic studio, we embrace and celebrate all body types.

We cater to all stages of pregnancy. However, our group classes are best undertaken during second and third trimester. We find many people are needing to prioritise rest at home during first trimester.
