Pregnancy Yoga

From 19 July 2025, Scarlett will be running a weekly Pregnancy Yoga class at Buckland Village Hall near Aston Clinton on Saturday mornings from 10:00-11:30am.

What happens in a Pregnancy Yoga Class with Scarlett?

Each session, Scarlett will begin with a check-in, to see how the mums are doing and feeling. This will be followed by an asana (posture) practice, that includes helpful birthing positions, pain-relieving techniques and calming and restorative postures. The movement part of the class will also include pranayama (breathing exercises), chanting and a little bit of a dance.

The class will end with a Yoga Nidra, which means 'Yoga Sleep'. This practice involves a student lying down (or sitting) in a comfortable position with props and blankets (provided by Scarlett). Scarlett would then speak to students for the duration of the session, putting them in a state between being awake and asleep, giving them a deep rest with visualisation, the chance to connect with the baby and leaving them feeling refreshed.

Can I do it if I haven't done yoga before?

If a student hasn't done yoga before, they needn't worry. The class is suitable for all women from all walks of life.

At what stage in my pregnancy can I join the class?

It is recommended for a student to join from 14 weeks of their pregnancy. At this point (hopefully) their bodies should be more in-tune with the huge hormonal shifts that happen during the first trimester.

Do I need to bring anything?

Scarlett will be providing bolsters, blocks, blankets and mats, so you don't need to bring anything (unless of course you have your own mat, which you are welcome to bring). It is recommended you bring water and anything you may want to eat.
