YAY bumps provides a safe and nurturing environment
YAY bumps provides a safe and nurturing environment to take pregnant women through their journey from 2nd Trimester (approx 16 weeks) to the birth of their baby. Pregnancy classes at YAYoga are taught with kindness, thoughtfulness and respect for the mother to be, we also sprinkle a little humour in too! YAYoga aims to build a loving connection between mother and baby while increasing stamina, practising adapted yoga asanas/poses and ending in a deep relaxation and quiet time to feel at peace with your baby and feel the loving bond between you.
The Benefits
Regular yoga practice has been talked about greatly in recent years and is thought to be one of the safest forms of exercise in pregnancy. Pregnancy naturally creates a connection to and curiosity with our bodies and yoga enhances this, taking us deeper into ourselves. Regular yoga during mid/late pregnancy helps to:
- calm the nervous system

- relieve tension throughout the body
- improves posture
- improve circulation
- give you space and time for self nurture and connection with your child
- alleviate ailments commonly experienced in early and mid pregnancy such as tiredness, back pain, sciatica and more
- improve sleep
- connect with the birthing muscles through yogic breathing
- build stamina in preparation for labour
- positively impact on mental and physical development of baby
