FAQ’s

Whenever your body feels ready. I usually say at around 14weeks. Something I want you to be aware of is that pregnancy is a beautiful time to slow down and rest, if you are exhausted and sick then be kind to yourself and start a little later, if you feel awesome and wish to start at 12 weeks then go for it!

Absolutely- If you are earlier on and feeling sick I encourage you to listen to your body and rest.

Keep in mind some women feel nausea throughout their entire pregnancy, if you think this is you and you think you can muster up the strength to come to classes regularly then your body and baby will thank you! Mamas often find some remedies to help them around classes and ways to modify the yoga flow so they don’t vomit!

Absolutely come! You will not be left behind I promise :) A lot of mamas do yoga and pilates for the first time during their pregnancy so you are definitely not alone! Class capacities are kept small so that we can give lots of assistance and guidance to our pregnancy mamas- In no time you will feel like a seasoned veteran!

Just your mat- I recommended one with a descent amount of thickness to save your knees! Optional extras is a water bottle and a towel (especially for pilates it can get sweaty hehe)

I have a recommendation of at least twice per week- 1 yoga and 1 pilates per wk. This will provide you with great physical prep including strength, balance and mobility, while also bringing connection to your body, baby, and breath giving yourself time to mentally immerse in the pregnancy.

In saying this if 1 class is all you can get to this will still be AMAZINGLY beneficial for your birth. 1 class CONSISTENTLY throughout your pregnancy will bring amazing benefit to your natural birth experience.

If the pain in mild you can absolutely still come to classes and we can give plenty of modifications throughout the yoga and pilates sequence- Please just inform your teacher at the start of class about where you are feeling pain!

I would also very much recommend if you are experience Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP), our Body Balance Workshop as well as a Women's Health Physio check up will be greatly beneficial for you! You can check out our workshop HERE and our recommended WHP’s HERE

Absolutely!

In our introductory video I explain exactly how to modify certain positions for if you have the common pregnancy discomfort of Pelvic girdle pain.

Although yoga can help Pelvic Girdle pain- I recommend also seeing a Women's Health Physio to receive treatment for your pelvic girdle pain.

Yes you receive LIFETIME access to this 6 week video series- you can flow with these videos over and over through this current pregnancy AND future pregnancies.

The only equipment you require is exercise ball. I give alternative household items that you can use instead of the equipment we use. I will say you would greatly benefit is getting 2x yoga blocks and a yoga bolster to really enjoy the fullness of these yoga flows.

Anytime from 3 weeks postnatal that you feel comfortable and ready- I really recommend seeing a Women's Health Physio before you return to any type of exercise. Whether your birth was completely normal or had some complications.

Whenever you don’t feel comfortable anymore, or desire to move on to other forms of exercise- Our longest postnatal mama has been 15 months with bub walking around during class!

You are required to bring all your own toys, nappies, cleaning necessities for your baby. I also recommend some sort of rug/blanket for them to lye on while you get your zen.

Other than that just your mat.
