A body in pregnancy doesn’t need performance. It needs safety.
Pregnancy yoga led by a certified instructor of women’s and prenatal yoga. Safe movement for each trimester — with breath, body awareness and calm preparation for birth.
What makes it different
This isn’t yoga with pregnant women added in
Pregnancy isn’t only a physical change. It’s a change for the body, the mind and the nervous system — and a class should work with all three.
Safe positions for each trimester are the foundation, not the whole of it. Alongside them we work on breath, on feeling your own body, and on how to settle when your head races ahead to the birth, to test results, to whether you’ll manage it all.
That part is what serves you most later. During birth and in the first months of motherhood you don’t need to know a pose — you need to know how to lengthen the exhale and notice when the body is bracing.
Safety before performance.
How a class runs
60 minutes nobody can take from you
The frame is always the same, so you know what’s coming. What’s inside changes with the weeks the group is in.
Settling and breath
The first ten minutes, just being. You sit, close your eyes and find your breath. Most women come straight from work and the body needs a moment to switch.
Getting moving
Gentle movement for the spine, shoulders and hips — exactly the places that carry the most in pregnancy.
Positions by trimester
Safe, supported and always in several variations. Nothing that asks for balance on one leg or lying on your back for long.
Pelvic floor
Not “squeeze as hard as you can”, but learning to release it too. The second one matters more at birth.
Breath for birth
Extended exhale and calm breathing into the belly — the same thing that helps between contractions and in the first sleepless night with a baby.
Stillness
The last fifteen minutes lying on your side, supported, with sound. Time that belongs only to you and the baby.
By stage
When to come and what to expect
Second trimester
The nicest time to start. The body has energy again and the bump isn’t yet in the way. We work on strength in the legs and back, opening the hips, and the breath you’ll want later.
Third trimester
Less dynamic, more support. More sitting, kneeling and side-lying, plenty of bolsters and blocks. The aim is to ease the back and pelvis and let the body rest even when it feels heavy.
After birth
Pelvic floor, abdominal wall, shoulders and neck after carrying and feeding. Very slowly and with no ambition to “get back in shape” — a body after birth doesn’t need training, it needs time and gentleness.
How I work
What I promise and what I don’t
- I promise: safe positions for your trimester and adjustments for your body
- I promise: a small group, 12 places at most, and time for your questions
- I promise: breath and techniques you take with you off the mat
- I don’t promise an easy birth or any particular health outcome — nobody can
- I don’t replace your doctor, midwife or physiotherapist
If you have a high-risk pregnancy or your doctor has restricted movement, tell me beforehand — we’ll find a way, or I’ll tell you that now isn’t the right time.
I went for the last three months of my pregnancy. It wasn’t really about the exercise — it was the one hour in the week when I didn’t have to rush anywhere. a pregnancy yoga participant, Pezinok

Questions
What people ask me most
When can I start?
Usually from week 12, once the first trimester is behind you. If your pregnancy is uncomplicated and your doctor hasn’t advised against movement, you can come any time after that — there’s no course start to wait for.
I’ve never done yoga. Will I manage?
Yes. Pregnancy yoga isn’t about positions you have to know. Most of the class happens sitting, kneeling or lying on your side, and I show everything in several variations so you can pick the one that feels good.
What if I don’t like the look of an exercise?
You skip it. Everything is an invitation, not an obligation — doubly so in pregnancy, when the body changes from week to week. Instead of the exercise you can simply lie down and breathe.
Will it prepare me for the birth?
It will prepare you to work with your breath and your own body in a demanding moment, and to notice when you’re bracing. That’s a skill that serves you in birth. How the birth itself goes is something nobody can guarantee, and I don’t.
Can I come after the birth?
Yes. Postnatal recovery is a subject of its own — pelvic floor, abdominal wall, shoulders and neck after carrying and feeding. Write and tell me how many weeks it’s been and I’ll advise when it’s a good time to start.
What should I bring?
Comfortable clothes, water, and a blanket if you like to be warm. Mats, bolsters, blocks and straps are all at the studio.
