About the Pregnancy Yoga Course

Prenatal yoga classes offer a place of refuge where you can learn to connect with your changing body, your baby, and other expecting Mums. The Yoga Postures prepare you physically for giving birth, but most women find that the awareness of body, mind, and breath that yoga gives is what truly helps them when it’s time to deliver.

 The pregnancy yoga course is suitable for any stage of pregnancy. You will learn body awareness, breath techniques, yoga stretches, relaxation, meditation and pelvic floor exercises. Practicing yoga during pregnancy will prepare mother’s physically, mentally and emotionally for birth and motherhood.

The Course includes notes, excellent instruction and we provide yoga equipment.

About the teacher

Elizabeth “Sita” Fletcher

The style I teach is Holistic Hatha Yoga. The class always has a deep awareness on the flow of breath in the body, together with a focus on alignment, strength, and balance in the Yoga postures, and there is always relaxation and meditation.

I am passionate about Yoga for Pregnancy and the benefits yoga can bring at this special time of a womens life; I have been teaching Prenatal Yoga Classes for 8 years (since 2004) and have done a lot of training in prenatal yoga. The Active Birth Yoga work of Janet Balaskas informs my style of teaching prenatal yoga.

I have taught to people of all ages and states of health, to refugees, people with disabilites, in aged homes, to children, teenagers, in the corporate sector and for many community groups.
