Pregnancy Yoga That Feels Like A Hug
Open to every kind of parent-to-be, Wild Embers Pregnancy Yoga is fun, friendly and wonderfully relaxed. We stretch, breathe, laugh, chat and create space to slow down during what can often be a busy and overwhelming time.
These classes are about so much more than exercise.
They're a chance to step away from the demands of everyday life, connect with your changing body, build confidence in your ability to birth your baby and spend time with other local parents who understand exactly where you're at.
​
More Than Just Yoga
One of the things that makes Wild Embers Pregnancy Yoga a little different is that you're not just learning yoga from a yoga teacher.
As a Birth Worker and Hypnobirthing teacher, I weave practical birth preparation into every course, helping you understand your body, your baby and the physiology of birth in a way that feels accessible and empowering.
Alongside gentle pregnancy-safe movement, you'll learn breathing techniques for pregnancy, birth and beyond, discover positions that can help ease common pregnancy discomforts, and gain tools that can support you throughout labour and early parenthood.
Each 75-minute class includes:
• Gentle movement designed specifically for pregnancy
• Breathing techniques for relaxation and birth
• Support for common pregnancy aches and pains
• Birth preparation and practical tips
• Guided relaxation
• Time to connect with other local parents
• And, of course, cake, cookies or the occasional mocktail afterwards
​
Every Body. Every Birth.
Pregnancy Yoga is suitable for all fitness levels and all birth plans.
Whether you're experiencing pelvic girdle pain, struggling to switch off a busy mind, looking for ways to stay active, preparing for a homebirth, planning a caesarean birth or simply hoping to meet other local parents, you'll find a warm and welcoming space here.
This isn't about achieving the "perfect" birth.
It's about helping you feel informed, supported and confident, whatever your journey looks like.
​
Course Information
Pregnancy Yoga is booked as a six-week course, allowing us to build skills and confidence over time whilst getting to know one another.
Each course follows a similar structure, but the themes and content change every term, meaning many parents choose to stay with us throughout their pregnancy without repeating the same classes.
You can join from 14 weeks pregnant (or once you've had your dating scan and are feeling past the toughest part of the first trimester) and you're welcome to continue right up until your baby arrives.
Many of the friendships formed in Pregnancy Yoga continue long after birth, with families going on to join Postnatal & Baby Yoga, community events and the wider Wild Embers family.

Come as you are. Leave feeling calmer, more comfortable and more confident.
TESTIMONIALS
"I have to say I really miss my classes with you. I did find another one closer to where my boat is moored but it's like a funeral service! No talking, no laughing and certainly no Beyonce gyrating!! You are very lucky ot have the wonderful Elle and of course each other. I have 5 weeks to go now and as soon as she's here I'll be moving my boat so I will be a lot closer and ready for when the Mum and Baby Yoga classes start."

"Elle is great and the yoga course was invaluable throughout my pregnancy. The breathing exercises we learned got me through the majority of my labour and the basics of hypnobirthing were really useful. I liked that it was designed for my changing body and as someone who had done yoga for years it was useful to know which movements were safe and which weren't. I would highly recommend for pregnant women!"

"I have recently just completed a 1:1 pregnancy yoga course with Elle. It was great that the class could be tailored to my individual needs as we could focus on areas that I was experiencing aches and pains with. I learnt lots about how I can help myself during labour and what I can do now to try and help get baby into an optimum position. It was also great that she could answer my many questions! Thank you so much!"

"I’m so pleased I took Elles pregnancy yoga classes. I learnt loads of technics that helped me through pregnancy but also during labour. I’ve made some lifelong friends and the support that’s come from Elle has been exceptional. I’d absolutely recommend her classes and courses to anyone looking to be supported and informed throughout your pregnancy.
I’m really looking forward to starting postnatal and baby yoga with my daughter in the spring"
