Pregnancy and Postnatal classes are held at Shawford Parish Hall near Winchester. There is plenty of parking and easy access to Junctions 11 and 12 of the M3. To contact us, click here.

Courses are usually held in blocks of six and are geared to the individual needs of the students. The classes last an hour and a half. In addition after the morning classes we have half an hour for tea, biscuits and chat! The cost is £48 for a six week course of either Yoga for Pregnancy or Postnatal Yoga for Mums and Babies. You can often join during a 6 week pregnancy course-just contact us to check availability.

Yoga for Pregnancy

These classes are suitable from 14 weeks till the end of pregnancy. They provide a valuable support and information network as well as teaching Yoga techniques to assist women during pregnancy, labour and birth. Marion and Eryl are passionate about women taking time out every week to acknowledge their pregnancy, and they believe it helps improve the quality not only of pregnancy but of postnatal life too. Do remember that you are entitled to time off work to attend these classes!

Antenatal yoga has to be the best time and money I have ever spent... And no, I’m not
just saying that! I kept calm and breathed through it all!
Karen Bridle

A huge thank you for all your support and
wise words during my pregnancy, birth and postnatally. You have provided such a wonderful, empathetic shoulder in addition
to the valuable yoga and breathing techniques. During my pregnancy the classes were my only real opportunity to switch off from work and focus on me and my baby. The classes helped me to stop and enjoy the moment.
I have also made many great friends through the groups and we continue to support
each other.
