Prenatal Yoga and Pilates Class

Celia is now on a maternity leave but our prenatal Yoga and Pilates class will resume again from next term, Monday 25th February 5:00 -6:00 pm with Leonora. She has covered for Celia many times and is very familiar with the class.

Leonora has been teaching yoga for 20 years and she has taught in many different contexts including: group classes, corporate Yoga, festivals, retreats, workshops, one to one, as well as mentoring and teaching on 200 hour recognised teacher training courses.

Her teaching style is deeply influenced by mindful movement practices and has a strong focus on embodied awareness and personal inquiry. This class will focus on building strength and control in the pelvic floor muscles to prevent incontinence and prepare for birth. It will also include breathing techniques to reduce stress and promote relaxation. If your looking for a small friendly pregnancy class with expert guidance, this will be perfect for you!
