ABOUT PREGNANCY YOGA
Michele/ Malicha teach our pregnancy class in Brixton/Herne Hill on Sunday evenings. This yoga class is designed to nurture and support you through pregnancy, birth and beyond. The class includes stretches, movements, breathing and relaxation techniques that will help you to ease niggles, sleep better and be more comfortable in pregnancy and to bond with your baby after birth. These friendly classes help you to make the most of your pregnancy and the postnatal period. If you have any queries please email michele@michelemyoga.com.
Michele is a senior yoga teacher with over 12 years experience, specialising in pregnancy and postnatal yoga. She is also a recognised Doula UK birth doula having supported over 70 births and has helped hundreds of expectant parents prepare for labour and birth through her popular birth workshops. Michele is a mother of three, and has personal experience of both home and hospital birth. She is also a qualified KG Hypnobirthing teacher and a certified Spinning Babies Parent Educator. It is her greatest wish that every pregnant person feels empowered to have the birth they desire.
This is a chance to meet others who are pregnant and live close by, creating a support network during pregnancy and beyond. Yoga during pregnancy can aid deep relaxation, calm fluctuating emotions and help to prepare you for labour and the early days with your baby. The class is energising, uplifting and nurturing and is a great way to release the tensions in the body and build strength and stamina.
Testimonials
“Just wanted to say thank you for the classes, they were such a great way to carry on doing yoga but also hear about others experiences and the information you gave was super useful. I wouldn’t have had the same positive birth experience if it wasn’t for your class. – Leila”
“I just wanted to also say thank you so much for your support throughout pregnancy. It’s not something I found very easy and coming to your class every week and having the benefit of your knowledge and also hearing what was going on for other women in the same scenario was something that always made me feel 100 times better.”
“The support you gave me for helping me to work out my options went so far beyond your yoga teaching remit and helped me to go into my birth feeling like I’d really been able to make an informed decision about what was best for me and feel confident in that choice.
Thank you so much.”- Kristen
“The positions you taught us in yoga were so useful, especially for resting between contractions and birthing my baby. Please share this with everyone. It really really worked. Thank you so much.” – Ana Maria
