Pregnancy yoga is a gentle and effective way to stay active and prepare your body for birth. At The Busylizzy Club, our experienced instructors adapt each class to meet the needs of expectant mums, ensuring a safe and supportive environment. Here’s why it can be such a valuable addition to your pregnancy routine.
Improved strength and flexibility
The slow, controlled movements in pregnancy yoga help to build muscle tone and keep joints supple. This can make daily activities more comfortable and support your body as it changes.
Better posture and balance
As your bump grows, your posture naturally shifts. Pregnancy yoga helps to align your spine, open your chest and improve your balance, which may ease back and shoulder discomfort.
Reduced stress and improved sleep
Breathing techniques and relaxation exercises can calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety and promote better quality sleep — something every expectant mum values.
Preparation for labour
Many of the positions and breathing patterns practised in class can be useful during labour. Learning how to relax through discomfort can be a real confidence booster.
Connection with your baby
Taking time each week to focus on your body and your baby can strengthen the emotional bond between you. It’s a chance to slow down, tune in and enjoy the moment.
All pregnancy yoga classes at The Busylizzy Club are designed to be safe and enjoyable for all trimesters. You can join from your second trimester onwards and no previous yoga experience is needed. Find your nearest club and enjoy the benefits for yourself.
