Pregnancy Yoga
Pregnancy is a wonderful time to practice yoga, keeping your body healthy and your mind calm while deepening the bond with your growing baby.
At Midwives and Mothers, we offer regular pregnancy yoga classes to help mothers on their journey to motherhood. A regular practice has proven benefits of reducing stress, increasing vitality, improving fitness, and making the body both stronger and more flexible.
Our pregnancy yoga classes offer a safe and supportive environment for mothers to explore posture, breathing exercises and mindfulness meditations that meet the changing needs of your changing body.
Our pregnancy yoga teacher at Kensington, Bonnie, is an experienced teacher who has a deep understanding of both Yoga and of the many and varying pregnancy symptoms women may experience. She is passionate about supporting women on their journey through pregnancy and beyond.
Our Pregnancy Yoga classes aim to:
- improve overall body strength and flexibility
- create a sense of lift in the torso and space for the breath
- relieve the pain and discomfort of common pregnancy symptoms
- flow through movements of the body that can help with optimal foetal positioning
- provide breathing techniques that are proven to relax the body, reduce tension and stress, and improve alertness and presence
- provide relaxation and meditation opportunities
Our Pregnancy Yoga classes are held on Saturday Mornings 8:30-9:45am at MAMA Kensington.

Mums & Bubs Yoga
Mums and Bubs Yoga is an opportunity to come together with a like-minded community. For mamas, carving out time for self can seem near impossible. An hour on the mat with your baby can be a bit more tangible, providing you with space to tune-in to self, which is essential when giving so much energy to care for Bubs.
Whether you are an experienced Yogini or new to the practice, Mums and Bubs Yoga offers you a chance to connect with other mums and babies. This can help you feel acknowledged and reassured that you’re not alone in your experiences and deepens a sense of community.
We’d love to welcome you and your baby….

FAQs
How many weeks do I need to be to do the pregnancy yoga classes?
Our prenatal yoga classes are designed for pregnant women so if you’re pregnant, you’re welcome anytime!
How old does my baby need to be to attend mums and bubs yoga?
Mums and bubs yoga classes are designed for mums who have had their 6 week doctor clearance after giving birth.
What is the difference between the two Mums & Bubs yoga classes?
The 'Newborn - Crawler' class is ideal for very young babies. Once your baby is on the move, you and your baby may feel more comfortable in the 'Crawler - Preschool' class. Your child can play, watch and hang out as you practice yoga alongside other mums and their children. We encourage each family to attend whichever class suits their schedule and family best, though, and are happy for you to attend either.
Do I need to bring my own yoga mat to class?
You are most welcome to! We do have plenty of mats provided and we have all yoga props needed so the most important thing is to bring yourself 🙂
Can I attend pregnancy yoga classes and mums and bubs even if I’m a beginner?
Yes of course! Our experienced yoga teachers provide a supportive environment catering for all needs and levels.
