Pregnancy Exercise & Lifestyle Class

This is a weekly class held at Little Therapy Space, Wednesday evenings at 6pm. It is a beautiful blend of HIIT, Pilates type exercises and Pregnancy Yoga. It is an in-person class but you can join through Zoom if you prefer to access it this way.

Ladies are welcome to join once they are 12 weeks pregnant and can stay on with the class until they have their baby!

Each week we cover different ways of mobilising the body to allow the baby more space and to give them the opportunity to settle in an optimum position.

We also discuss and try positions to use during labour for the first and second stage.

This class is for you if you want to get 100% clear on:

How to exercise safely in pregnancy without harming your baby
How to treat some pregnancy aches and pains effectively
Keeping your body strong for labour and challenges of being a new Mum
Learning stretches to aid your baby into an Optimal birthing position
Learn ways to relax your body and mind
Meeting other mums going through the same stage in life
Learn from a specialist

The class is made up of a 20 minute circuit using bands, weights and body weight, followed by Core work, Pregnancy Yoga and finishing with some Relaxation.

Each week there will be discussion on themes which will aid your pregnancy, labour or postnatal stage:

Pelvic floor lengthening and softening
Posture
Breath work for Pregnancy and Labour
Maternal Balancing
Positions for labour

Each week we cover posture, breathing, pelvic floor contraction and activation of the deep abdominals. These will be worked into every day Mum movements making sure you use them correctly with good form and posture, and activate and engage your core rather than your back.

We cover stretches and movements for helping baby into the optimal birthing position which can be used at home during the week to help baby find its way into the position ideal for birth. As an experienced and specialist pregnancy and postnatal massage therapist I can also pass on advice and techniques on working with typical aches and pains in the upper and lower body and help you relieve them rather than try and cope with them.

What you will need:

Please bring your own water for your use throughout the class
Come in comfortable clothing that is easy to move in.
Bring layers as you may get very warm once you start working, and then chill once you start to relax.

Depending on numbers you may have to join a waiting list until someone leaves so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Testimonials

"Excellent, not only at pregnancy massage but also i attended the pregnancy classes. made a big difference in my flexibility and posture which has helped a with various aches and pains and of course not forgetting the all important pelvic floor."

"Highly recommend Tanya for her brilliant pregnancy exercise classes. They are tailored for all abilities and Tanya is great at making sure you are working hard but safely. As a result I have felt fit and strong throughout my pregnancy with no aches or pains. Will definitely be booking onto her postnatal class after our little one has arrived."

"Completed both antenatal and postnatal exercise classes. Both classes were really enjoyable and I felt my body making progress every week. The support and encouragement as both prepared by body and promoted its recovery from having my gorgeous little boy. He has also enjoyed the classes and made his own progress. Thank you and well done for all you do!!"

"Tanya's classes are a great way to understand how best to exercise safely whilst pregnant, and teaches you the importance to pelvic floor exercise in preparation for birth and beyond. The on-line support through her FB group also means you feel like you have continued support and "good practice" reminders at every stage. The classes are super friendly, for all abilities and you get to meet lots of other lovely mums to be at the same time. I can honestly say that Tanya's massages and classes combined have helped me to feel prepared and confident as I approach my due date, and I'm looking forward to signing up to her baby massage and post-natal classes just as soon as I'm ready."

"I went onto the pregnancy course and loved it so much I stayed and went onto the second course during my pregnancy. The knowledge I have learnt from Tanya is amazing and as a first time mum I don’t know what I would’ve done without her. I would highly recommend this class including the couple class that I attended last night with my partner to help me through labour. It also helped him understand what I’ll be going through and he really enjoyed it to! I have also had a pregnancy massage that helped with pains I have been getting! Tanya will talk through before what kind of massage you would like and any problems you suffer from before you start which is really nice. Also a nice relaxing treat during what can be a stressful time in pregnancy! Thank you! I’m sure I’ll be attending the classes after birth too!"

"I did Tanya's pregnancy exercise class and Beyond Birth Course. I honestly feel so grateful for finding Tanya and The Little Therapy Space. It's meant I felt so supported throughout having my little boy. Her classes have provided relaxation and education at a really crazy time and they have become a highlight of my busy week. I would wholeheartedly recommend."
