We welcome you to our yoga studio in a safe and responsible manner, please follow our Studio Hygiene Protocol when you visit the studio. All our studio classes are livestreamed as well, so you can also follow the classes live online, for those who cannot make it to the studio or live outside Amsterdam. Also the Birth Preparation Course can be offered online for the same reasons.

Our Prenatal Yoga classes cater the needs of women from 14-42 weeks of pregnancy (so from 14 weeks until birth) and include physical-, breathing-, and relaxation exercises that support your physical well-being during the pregnancy, and also practice for birth preparation. The classes are suitable for women with little to no yoga experience, but also for women more experienced with yoga.

The Prenatal Yoga classes are therapeutic; the exercises focus on preventing or bringing relief to a wide range of pregnancy related complaints, like pelvic girdle pain (bekkengordelpijn, bekkeninstabiliteit), (lower) back pain, sciatica (ischias), sensitive wrists, pain in feet and ankles, restless legs, problems with sleep / lying in bed comfortably, headaches, oedema (swellings), heartburn etc..

We encourage you to join the Prenatal Yoga classes on a continuous-regular weekly basis as soon as you can from 14 weeks onwards, since many of the practices that we teach including the specific practices for birth preparation are suitable from early on in the second trimester and are best assimilated over time - and on a regular basis - rather than just in late pregnancy.

The classes are 1.5hr, and are bi-lingual (English/Dutch).

In addition to the regular weekly Prenatal Yoga classes, towards the end of your pregnancy (i.e. from 34-36 weeks onwards), we offer a 7 hrs Birth Preparation (Voorbereiding op de Bevalling) Course (split in 2 parts of 3.5 hrs each) for you and your birth-partner (the person who will accompany you during labour) to help you prepare for birth / labour. Here the yoga practices taught in the classes are brought together effectively to support all the phases of the labour process, incl. all kinds of exercises you can do in the different stages of your labour to bring relief and comfort and to help you going through your contractions, relieving massages by your partner, various poses for giving birth (with or without partner), breathing techniques that help you breath comfortably through the contractions and actual pushing, as well as the various techniques for pushing the baby out. The course is being offered to 2-4 couples max at a time, so that we can give you and your partner lots of personal attention, and train and prepare you in the most optimal way that suits your needs.

Also we share birth stories in class from the new mums about their pregnancy & delivery experiences to exchange these experiences with you.

Alltogether we offer you the complete practice and preparation you need to go safely and with as little complaints as possible through your pregnancy, and subsequently prepare you optimally for labour / the birthing process. In the meantime you will experience a nice and pregnancy-safe physical work out during the classes, keeping the body fit and healthy during pregnancy, as well as lots of tools to relax deeply e.g. through breathing techniques!
