Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga

Pregnancy and the postpartum period are times of profound transformation.

Prenatal and postnatal yoga offers a safe, mindful, and adapted support system to help sustain the body and emotional balance of women at every stage of motherhood.

Here, the posture adapts to the body. The practice becomes a space for listening, regulation, and connection with oneself and with the baby.

These yoga practices are accessible to all women, whether or not they have prior experience with yoga.

Why practice yoga during pregnancy and after giving birth?

Prenatal yoga

  • Relieves lower back and pelvic pain

  • Supports posture and circulation

  • Gently strengthens the pelvic floor and deep core muscles

  • Teaches breathing techniques useful for childbirth

  • Promotes relaxation and better sleep

  • Strengthens the connection with oneself, the baby, and other expectant mothers.

Postnatal yoga

  • Gradually helps to regain strength and mobility

  • Helps to tone the core muscles consciously and the pelvic floor safely

  • Relieves tensions related to carrying and breastfeeding

  • A class is a moment for yourself, to recentre

  • A medium to reconnect with your body after birth

  • Fosters a sense of community among new mothers and promotes to support between peers

My approach

Each session is built around 3 cpillars: adapted movement, conscious breathing and body awareness.

Classes include:

  • adapted postures and fluid sequences

  • specific focus on the pelvic floor, abdominal muscles and back muscles

  • breathing exercises (pranayama)

  • Meditation and relaxation techniques

  • the use of props to support the body

  • a sharing time between mothers to foster a sense of community and reduce feelings of isolation

Special attention is given to nervous system regulation. Breathwork and mindful pauses help calm the mind, reduce stress, and develop useful resources for both childbirth and the postpartum period.

The practice encourages interoception — the ability to finely perceive internal sensations — in order to support a sustainable balance between body and mind.

Teaching is rooted in kindness, and modifications are always offered so that each woman can honour her own pace and specific needs.

Practice mindfully

Motherhood is a major transition in every woman’s life. Yoga can become a valuable support to move through it with greater stability and confidence.

⚠️ A woman can begin practicing prenatal yoga or Hatha yoga at any point during pregnancy and continue until childbirth, unless otherwise advised by her doctor. However, it is generally recommended to start from the 13th week to fully benefit from the effects of a regular practice on both body and mind.

⚠️ It is also recommended to begin postnatal yoga or Hatha yoga approximately 6 weeks after childbirth, provided your body feels ready and with approval from your doctor and physiotherapist.
