Expertly Designed Prenatal Programme

I’ve been teaching pregnancy yoga for years and redesigned my programme when I fell pregnant. I’m currently on maternity leave so there are no live classes. But you can still practice with me and the benefit is that all classes that are recorded I’m on the journey with you. 

In these classes I’ve included practices for each trimester along with yoga therapy based classes to cope with the aches and pain of pregnancy. Along with meditations and breathing techniques to cope with the emotions of pregnancy and to prepare you for labour.

Yoga and Ayurveda have so many tools to help you on your pregnancy journey. 

 

I’ve taught pregnancy yoga for years and helped many women stay mobile, strong and pain free throughout their pregnancy as well as teaching them tools to cope with labour and simple technique to help when baby arrives.

Introduction to Yoga

Kind Words

”Great class, so relaxing but also empowering with techniques to prepare your managing labour. So glad I did it-feel like I have a toolkit if things to help me when I go into labour”
‘‘Once I started my mat leave I really tried to focus on my breathing techniques and must say they really helped during labour! I woke up at 2.30am, initially unaware that I was contracting and by the time I got to hospital and examined at 6am I was 6cm dilated and got through all that with my yoga breathing alone!! I did require gas & air and morphine for the pain, but good breathing techniques help make sure you get the most from the gas & air. 9.5hours later Ben arrived into the world - very quick for a first baby apparently!! So a huge thank you for all that you taught us during class, it really did help a lot and so glad I went along. I certainly won't hesitate in recommending your classes to my pregnant friends in the future and yoga is definitely something I'd like to get into more once I'm declared fit to exercise.’’
I was slightly apprehensive about what to expect having never done yoga before but Jo is a great teacher who made me feel at ease straight away and she really understands what to include/adapt during yoga for pregnancy to make each student get the most from each class. Thank you
Would thoroughly recommend pregnancy yoga to all expectant mums, even people who have never touched a toe on a yoga mat before - you don't need past experience. Jo is great at doing varied sessions that means each week you will learn new things or give you points to consider/ponder/ practice at home on your pregnancy journey on the lead up to labour and birth. These classes will provide you with techniques that will help you! Keep up the good work Jo.
"I have attended Jo's pregnancy yoga classes from 15 weeks pregnant. I had never been to a yoga class before and I was initially looking for an hour to relax and have some "me time". I found the classes extremely helpful and continued to attend until I was 39 weeks pregnant. During my pregnancy I was always healthy, however I still had the usual niggles, backache, sore hips/pelvis, found it hard to sleep. The classes helped me to stretch and ease off any aches and pains I had. They also taught very useful breathing exercises and helped me to find ways to completely relax and I found that I always slept much better after the yoga classes."
