Pregnancy Yoga in Cardiff

Our Pregnancy Yoga Classes are designed to help support you all the way through to the birth of your little one.  During each class we explore a range of yoga postures, guided relaxations and breathing techniques to support your pregnancy, soothe any discomfort, relieve any stress / anxiety and help ease you through the daily changes occurring as your baby develops.  As you become familiar with the practices you will feel more prepared for labour and will have learnt useful techniques to take with you for the birth of your baby.  

Our Pregnancy Yoga classes are warm and welcoming and a great place to meet other mums-to-be – we’re delighted that many lasting friendships have been made at our classes.  Mum’s often continue to meet up after their little ones have arrived and go on to join our Mum & Baby and Baby Massage classes together.

Yumi Yoga’s Pregnancy Yoga classes are suitable for anyone over 12 weeks pregnant. No previous experience of yoga is necessary.

Testimonials

Dear Claire, your classes are wonderful and I am so pleased I have been able to come along to both Pregnancy Yoga and Baby Massage! You are a fabulous teacher and I’ve gained so much from your classes and perfectly balanced teaching approach. Thank you Claire!
Hannah
To Claire, thank you for your help and support through Pregnancy Yoga and Birth Preparation as well as lots of fun at Baby Massage and Baby Yoga
Ellen
To Claire, thank you so much for all your support throughout our pregnancy and my postnatal experience so far. Your Yoga classes really helped me relax and focus and were a part of a really positive pregnancy for me. The Hypnobirthing course that we attended was a great help in the run up to labour, giving my husband a role to encourage relaxation and focussing us on a positive birthing experience. As you know our labour was quick and we felt prepared even for what happened and it will remain a happy memory for us. I look forward to Mum and Baby Yoga soon. I’m sure our little boy will love it, but I think he loves Baby Massage the most! We both love our nightly massages.

To Claire, I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed your classes – they have been something that I looked forward to almost every single week of the last year! You are so welcoming and knowledgeable, it has certainly helped me enjoy being pregnant and now being a mum.
Tori
To Claire, It’s almost a year to the day that I started Pregnancy Yoga with you and I can’t thank you enough for the pregnancy and Mum and Baby Yoga classes! Pregnancy Yoga gave me an hour of relaxation each week throughout the house renovation and our daughter’s health scare. It also helped me to make some fab mum friends as a newbie to Cardiff. Hopefully I will see you in a couple of years with baby no. 2! Thanks again
Rachael
I have loved the pregnancy yoga classes - thank you so much & I can’t wait to carry on doing yoga with you.
Victoria
I very much enjoyed your classes and we would have loved to take your hypnobirthing course as well but we couldn’t due to our move abroad. I did a few pregnancy yoga classes in the Netherlands after our move but they weren’t nearly as nice as your classes!
Janna
Thank you so so much for all your support. I have absolutely loved coming to pregnancy yoga!

I can highly recommend Claire's pregnancy yoga. The classes are pitched at just the right level and it has been brilliant to do some gentle exercise throughout my pregnancy. I have found that since I've been doing the classes, my aches and pains have almost completely gone away and I always leave the classes feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Baby Amelia arrived early on Wednesday morning, happy and healthy. I’m very pleased that my second delivery went as well as my first, although slightly shorter; no pain relief, tears or stitches and home again by the Wednesday afternoon. This couldn’t have been done without all my breathing and visualisations, so thanks very much for your support over the last few months, I really enjoyed the classes. Hope to see you at mum and baby yoga soon!
Sarah
I joined the pregnancy yoga class early in my 2nd trimester. I had never experienced yoga before so was unsure what to expect but knew I wanted to practice breathing, stretching and relax after being at work. I loved the classes, each evening after work I wanted to just go home and sleep but after yoga class felt so relaxed and pleased that I had gone. I really feel the breathing helped during my labour and gave me a different focus.
Elizabeth
Wanted to say a big thanks for all your advice. Wasn't quite the birth I envisaged but I found I was an ooooh person and there were quite a few raspberries being blown before the epidural came! The mid wife thought the breathing helped during second stage and I could envisage what was going on when pushing.
Sarah R
My labour was super quick; 2.5hrs in total!! Bit of a shock! I do feel really strongly though that having done yoga made such a difference physically and mentally. I felt so much more prepared and calm than I would otherwise have done (even if it was quite rushed!). I spent the first hour and 15 mins mostly on all fours (elbows/forearms or hands & knees), sometimes moving my bum back towards my heels as I breathed out. I used the golden thread visualisation predominantly but I also used some 'oooh's'.
Rachael
I Just wanted to let you know that our twins were born by c-section at 11.05 and 11.06 yesterday morning - Florence at 5lb 10 oz and Matilda at 4lb 5oz. We had a growth scan on Tuesday and the growth of twin b (now Matilda) had slowed so the consultant felt they were best delivered sooner rather than later. Despite not using any yoga moves I did use a lot of the breathing techniques you taught me to keep myself calm throughout and to help with the pain of the epidural. I've also since been doing some gentle stretching post c section to help me recover. Thank you so much for all you taught me.
