Pregnancy Classes
Grounded Movement prenatal practices support future mums during their pregnancy and help prepare their bodies for labour.
Our pregnancy yoga classes incorporate a range of styles – vinyasa, restorative and yin, mindfulness exercises and breathing techniques. Our approach is aimed at helping to alleviate common pregnancy related aches and pains, keep you strong and mobile, and prepare you physically and mentally for birth and postpartum.
Our pregnancy strength classes use body weight exercises to help you maintain and build strength and endurance throughout your pregnancy. These are quick, full body, circuit based classes, with little or no equipment required. Classes are safe for all stages of pregnancy, with plenty of options provided for different levels.
These classes focus on active mobility work in a circuit based or flow based style. Actively loading the joints through different ranges of motion with the goal of increasing that range. These classes feel a lot like strength training. From my experience personally and with clients, a combination of active mobility and passive stretching works beautifully for creating a more mobile and flexible body. During pregnancy, strength building through the joints can help to minimise hip, back, and pelvic pain that is all too common. Uses little or no equipment.
This class is designed to safely strengthen and protect your core throughout pregnancy. I will guide you through exercises that support your growing bump, maintain core strength, and help prepare your body for birth. Maintaining core strength in pregnancy can help alleviate common discomforts like back and hip pain, and sets you up for a great recovery postpartum.
