Pregnancy Yoga
Pregnancy can be a challenging time, both physically and emotionally. Yoga, helps to ease aches and pains, soothes anxieties and stresses and helps relieve common pregnancy ailments such as heart burn, lower back pain, breathlessness, cramps and insomnia. It creates suppleness and strength in a safe way while being calming and relaxing. Specific breathing practices help to boost energy levels, calm nervousness and develop an awareness of the breath which becomes an invaluable tool during labour. 
By combining a gentle yet dynamic flowing practice with restorative poses you will leave Jennie’s pregnancy classes feeling physically and emotionally stronger, more positive, energised and relaxed. Classes are suitable from 13 weeks onwards once you have had your scan.
From personal experience Jennie has found that yoga kept her mentally calm and physically comfortable during her pregnancies and prepared her physically and emotionally to give birth calmly with self belief and confidence. Jennie practiced yoga with leading pregnancy guru Dr Francoise Freedman during both her pregnancies and is certified to teach Pregnancy Yoga through the Life Centre with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli of Sitaram.

” I attended weekly yoga sessions with Jennie throughout my pregnancy in 2008. Jennie’s approach is empathetic, lighthearted and fun, and her classes were slightly different each week, which I found really refreshing. The level was accessible to everyone, from seasoned yogi to complete beginner, and the final relaxation always deeply relaxing. Highly recommended!” Ali, London
