The Yoga Place is opening our doors to Mums, Dads and Babies for Yoga. Benefit your body and baby with toning and stretching coupled with breathing and relaxation. This small group class will help alleviate discomforts of pregnancy such as nausea, constipation, varicose veins, swelling, back pain and sciatica. Develop strength, flexibility and stamina in the pelvic floor, and release tension in the shoulders. Learn emotional tools to help with labour, childbirth and parenting. Prenatal Yoga will help make labor easier for childbirth. 

Come join us every saturdays in this important moment for every mother. Although each workshop class is designed as part of a 5 weeks structured course, they can also be taken as an individual class, and can be commenced at any week. This would suit students who are available or interested in only a particular workshop topic/s.You will be practicing in person with our Prenatal teacher guiding you in person. 

Classes will be held at Wxyz studios at 130 Drysburgh street, North Melbourne. Please email us at yoga@theyogaplace.com.au after you have made a purchase, and we will send you a health questionaire to complete before your first class.
