Nadia’s Pregnancy Yoga Classes combine the philosophy and practices of yoga with the wisdom teachings and practices of Mindfulness contained in a strong context of pregnancy, childbirth preparation and support for the journey of matrescence.
As a senior registered yoga teacher, teacher trainer and experienced birth doula, with 15 years + experience behind her supporting women in childbirth, Nadia is a passionate advocate for women, and committed to getting you ready; mind, heart and body for the great childbirth adventure.
Each 90-minute class features pregnancy yoga, breath work for pregnancy and birth, meditation and mindfulness, embodied birth education and community discussion/birth wisdom.
In these classes you will learn how to prepare and optimise your body and pelvic floor for healthy pregnancy and uninterrupted birth; how to manage the sometimes turbulent emotions of pregnancy and birth; how to connect with your baby and pregnant body and, crucially, how to navigate the system with insight and understanding.
When women practice yoga with confidence, they trust their bodies, connect with their babies, they birth faster, in more comfort and more effectively. (Rong et al 2020).
Classes take place in Nadia’s private home-studio which is located in Kingston – 10 minutes walk from both Norbiton and Kingston Stations.
If you would like to join this group, places are listed to five. Early booking is recommended.
Classes are booked in blocks of 6 with a priority to re-book at the end of the block. The next block runs from Friday 19 April to Friday 24 May.
Cost of 6 X 90 minute classes : £150.
