Red Hot Yoga & Pilates runs regular pregnancy yoga classes at our multi-award winning studios in central Guildford. We also run occasional Mother & Baby yoga courses – check out our website for full details.
Gentle and strong, Yoga teaches you to understand your body and provides a calming experience, whilst simultaneously preparing your flexibility, stamina and mental focus for your birth, strengthening the bond between you and your baby. The breathing practice during pregnancy yoga helps open the chest and improves circulation to the mother and baby, ensuring a better supply of oxygen to the blood. Improved control of breathing during labour also helps reduce stress for you and the baby. These tools enable you to calm your nervous system thereby unwinding your body and your mind.
It is not advisable to change your exercise regime whilst in your first trimester, so you must be at week 12 in your pregnancy before attending pregnancy classes. No Yoga experience is necessary, beginners are most welcome!
