Edinburgh pregnancy yoga/YogaBirth

[KIKKAG]

Can anyone recommend a good class for pregnancy yoga in central Edinburgh/Stockbride/New Town?

And has anyone tried Yoga Birth (or specifically ElementalBirth Yoga classes) and, if so, would they recommend them?

Thanks!

I was looking yesterday and came across the Pregnancy and Parents Centre.

Our Yoga for Pregnancy sessions are run by experienced yoga for pregnancy facilitators/birth educators. The sessions consist of yoga which focuses on preparing for birth, easing pregnancy discomforts and relaxation. The sessions are always finished with discussion of birth issues over tea and biscuits, which is included in the timings shown, to allow you get to know others in the group.

We run a number of different groups:

Monday evening- 7.15-9.15pm
Tuesday morning - 10am-12noon
Tuesday evening- 6.30-8.30pm
Wednesday afternoon- 4.00-6.00pm
Thursday evening- 7.00-9.00pm

Our groups are extremely popular as the women value the support they get from their weekly session and many stay in the group until their baby is born. Due to this we run a waiting list system.

They seem to have a few other things on, like nearly new sales, maternity clothes and bump and baby sessions.

If you fancy doing aquanatal yoga (Yoga in the swimming pool:) Turtle Tums are starting classes at James Gillespies High School from September 25th. www.turtletots.com

I went to the elemental birth yoga classes with both my pregnancies and they were excellent. also used preg and parents centre for mum and baby yoga and would recommend them too.

Yoga Stable in Montgomery Street Lane (behind Valvona and Crolla.)

Thanks for all your suggestions - will look into them and hopefully get started soon!

Probably a bit late for you KIKKAG but I am starting new Yoga for Pregnancy classes in Edinburgh next week. I've been teaching prenatal yoga for over 6 years now and just moved through here from Ayrshire. You can check out my current class timetable at embodiedtransformation.co.uk/yogaandmeditation/class-timetable/ and if anyone has specific questions on Yoga during pregnancy then please don't hesitate to get in touch with me

Wow sounds fabby x

Just to warn you - I've been on the waiting list for the pregnancy and parenting centre for about ten weeks now.

I go to a class at this place ashtangayogaedinburgh.com/ which is 10:30am on a Tuesday and is really really great - it has spaces now :)

Am doing yoga for pregnancy at the pregnancy support centre and it is just brilliant!! Really informative, peaceful and lovely groups. Great resource for all areas concerning pregnancy and forthcoming parenthood!

Looks like some places might be coming up soon - a lot of the ladies are ready to have their babies. Cxx

My ladies have just had a big baby boom, which is of course exciting to meet the babies but its also finally provided much needed spaces so there are a few spaces available. :)

Hello! I run friendly pregnancy yoga classes in Edinburgh on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, at KnotStressed Therapies on Blenheim Place and also the Yoga Room on Forth Street. Please see www.b-ing.co.uk for more info. :)

Can recommend both the parents and pregnancy centre and heather burns's classes. Heather's class are more of a pure yoga class. Pregnancy and parent centre is yoga and followed by a chat with tea and coffee.
