Pregnancy changes everything:
your body, your energy, your sleep, even your emotions. Prenatal Yoga at Ora is designed to support you through all of it.
This class combines gentle, pregnancy-friendly movement, breathwork, and guided relaxation in a space where you can slow down, tune in, and feel truly looked after.
Every class is taught by an instructor who understands how to adapt yoga for pregnancy, so you can move safely while still feeling challenged in all the right ways. However, we recommend chatting with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise during pregnancy.
This class is for you if you:
-
Are currently pregnant and want a safe way to move

Find your pregnancy has you feeling stiff, tight, or achy and you want gentle relief

-
Are new to yoga and want a beginner-friendly space for pregnant women to try
-
Already practice yoga but want pregnancy-specific options and support
-
Are preparing for labour and want a smoother, more comfortable experience.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Often, yes, many people find prenatal yoga helpful for easing back, hip, and pelvic discomfort. That said, this class is not a replacement for medical care. If you’re dealing with significant pain or a high-risk pregnancy, please talk to your healthcare provider first and follow their guidance.
Not at all. Many people start yoga for the first time during pregnancy. We’ll offer lots of guidance and modifications to ensure everyone is comfortable.
No, Prenatal Yoga is designed specifically for pregnancy, with movements, pacing, and positioning adapted for your changing body. We avoid practices that aren’t recommended for pregnancy (like deep twists, strong backbends, or anything that puts pressure on your belly).
That’s totally normal! You’re always welcome to take things slower, spend more time resting, or simply breathe. This class is about supporting you, not pushing you!
As long as your healthcare provider is comfortable with you doing gentle movement, you’re welcome. Always check with your provider before starting any new exercise while pregnant.
