Benefits you’ll experience with prenatal yoga
Reduced anxiety, stress and the overall well-being
A combination of moves and intentional breathing helps reduce stress, symptoms of depression, and anxiety.
Decrease the length of labour
Preparing your body through conscious movement and unlocking tension particulary in the pelvis can aid our babies in navigating our pelvis's during birth. Also understanding different active positions can decrease the length of our labour.
Improve Postpartum Recovery
Preparing your body and mind in your pregnancy can help stabilize the nervous system and also provide tools for navigating turbulence. Postpartum can be a time of turbulance as we readjust to our new identity, roles and surroundings. Yoga can help pysically and mentally.
Minimize aches and pains from the strain of supporting a growing belly.
Prenatal yoga is designed to support the changes your body is going through during pregnancy. It offers a healthy and safe way to stretch your muscles and strengthen your body, especially the growing belly.
Improved sleep
Sleep can be such a bummer when pregnant. Prenatal yoga helps improve your quality of sleep and get some very needed deep restoring rest.
Strengthening of your pelvic floor
Giving your muscles targeted exercise can help strengthen your pelvic floor and improve your delivery experience.
Connection with your baby
Taking 20 min a week just for yourself can be a great way to have one-on-one time with the baby. Get in tune with your body and baby to prepare for the journey ahead.

ABOUT ME
I have practiced yoga for over a decade now. It has been a passion of mine for the past years working with women and helping them during their pregnancies. When I experienced the impact my own prenatal yoga practice has had during my three pregnancies and hearing the positive stories from women I have taught, I knew it was time during my third pregnancy to film my practice to help other women to.
As a fully qualified Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPYT) I know first hand the profound effects this practice can have off the mat as well. Prenatal Yoga not only prepared my body for birth, it helped me handle the roller coaster of hormonal changes in my body much more calmly.
It gave me tools to process the good and not so good days with more ease, it helped my babies position for birth, it helped my sciatica and other pregnancy aches and pains. It helped me sleep better and helped my body return to its pre-birth state much more quickly.
This series isn’t just for vaginal birth, it will support women who have elected caesarean, epidural or any medicated birth. The benefits of yoga, body and breath connection pervade all circumstances. Practicing yoga in your pregnancy can also really help with postnatal recovery.
I am passionate about keeping yoga down to earth, easy to follow and achievable for all levels and love that I can deliver this series to more women in this way and can’t wait to share my practice with you.

I looked forward to Alana’s classes so much during my pregnancy.
I looked forward to Alana’s classes so much during my pregnancy. I love her calm, relaxed approach these classes taught me so much especially how to relax and trust my body! Thank you so much.
~ Kate
I’ve been doing each one at least twice consecutively
Woohoo I’m loving Yoga. I’ve been doing each one at least twice consecutively so I can remember which one each is and redo my faves! I really like the neck and shoulder ones because my neck is usually pretty sore but I don’t think I can choose because I have enjoyed each one I’ve done. It’s definitely varied and not repetitive. I’m loving all of it and wishing you had an online one for after I’m pregnant!
~ Alice G
Classes taught me so much about changes in my body
The classes taught me so much not only about birth but about changes in my body and how to care for my body with the yoga practice and preparation. I always felt refreshed after practice with more energy flowing through my body- (I know it sounds very zen, but it’s true lol)

Frequently Asked Questions
Why shouldn’t I practice yoga in the first trimester?
There is so much development happening in the first trimester including the growth of the placenta which will sustain the life of your baby in the second and third trimesters. It is wise to just rest, there is plenty of time to practice in the second and third trimesters.
Can I do this series if I plan to have a C section?
Depending on the health reasons of why you are to have a c section. If your care provider says it is safe for you to practice prenatal yoga than YES. This series can definitely help with a calmer outlook with body, mind and breath awareness and tools to relax for a c section. There is also a lot of pressure applied in third trimester to the pelvic floor making a prenatal yoga practice very beneficial particularly for post- partum period.
Can I still do this if I'm not flexible enough?
An excellent reason to start practicing yoga! This series is specifically designed for pregnancy with alternatives offered throughout. Only going to your own edge and being careful to not push your limits is key. A beautiful benefit of having a home practice- NO ONE IS WATCHING! Well maybe your pets..
Can I practice your yoga outside of pregnancy, because I loved it so much when I was pregnant?
Pregnancy yoga is designed to prepare and gently open the pelvis and hips for birth. When we have had our babies a postnatal yoga practice should be closing and bringing the hips and pelvis back together in stability. Practicing yoga is not recommended within the first three months post birth this is circumstantial and can be longer for some. However if you just love yoga and are well outside of pregnancy and wanting to practice, yes you can still utilise this series.
