Pregnancy

Yoga won’t necessarily make labour and birth easier, but it can give you the self-confidence to ‘go with’ your experiences, and strengthen your mind and body to be able to cope with whatever you may need to deal with during pregnancy, birth and motherhood.

Pregnancy Yoga classes at Shambhala Studios on a Tuesday evening with resident maternity yoga specialist Carolyn Higgs incorporate gentle movements and stretches to strengthen and open your body; breathing exercises to increase calm, focus and balance; and relaxation techniques to release deeply-held tensions and to promote the well-being of you and your baby.

It is advisable to consult with your midwife or doctor before doing Yoga, particularly if you have experienced any difficulties during your pregnancy, or if you have any significant medical condition that may be affected by Yoga practices.

In addition to our weekly maternity yoga class to help ease the aches and pains of pregnancy and prepare your body for childbirth, a range of relaxing therapies are also available in our beautiful treatment room.

Pregnancy Massage to ease away the aches and pains resulting from the natural physical changes of pregnancy.

Reflexology for those tired feet.

Acupuncture with Lorna or Acupuncture with Dan to help get the body in tiptop shape either before or during pregnancy.
